Cold Shoe Handle

Zacuto’s Cold Shoe Handle is the perfect way to add a top handle to your run and gun DSLR kit or your DSLR camera. This is a perfect match for Zacuto Target Shooter or Striker kits or if you are just shooting with a Z-Finder Pro. The handle is ideal for low-mode shooting and easy transport of your camera. It secures to the camera’s hot shoe with a cold shoe mount. The Cold Shoe Handle mounts to the hot shoe based via Zacuto’s quick release Z-Rail system, allowing you to leave the base on the camera and remove the handle with the flip of a lever. The handle can be slid left or right on the Z-Rail to balance the camera’s center of gravity. Zacuto dovetail accessories are adjustable to work with Z-Rail, NATO, SWAT, RED, PICATINNY, and WOODEN CAMERA rails. The Z-rail is 3” long and can be turned with the cold shoe at 90 degree angles so you can set the handle pointing any direction you like. The handle can connect to the Z-rail backwards or forwards.

The rod running through the handgrip is threaded and can accept rod extensions or a Zacuto Z-release mount like Zacuto T-Mount or Tri-Mount to add lightweight accessories such as a microphone or small light.

NOTE:We ask that you use caution when using the handle on your camera’s hot shoe. This handle should only be used with lightweight kits like the Target Shooter or Striker. It is not recommended to use the handle with a rig weighing more than 10 lbs. Zacuto is not liable for any broken hot shoes.
