Incorporating the Kondor Blue Pro NATO Top Handle with Trigger (Space Gray)into your camera rig setup enables you can secure an ergonomic, space gray handle with a remote start/stop trigger button via a NATO clamp and increases your accessory mounting options. Multiple 1/4"-20 threads and five 3/8"-16 ARRI anti-twist locating threads along with a NATO rail allow for a myriad of mounting options from secondary monitors to shotgun microphones and articulating arms. A cold shoe mount and 15mm rod clamp expand those capabilities even further.

The handle supports both Sony LANC and Panasonic control protocols, allowing it to be compatible with various camera systems via a separately available start/stop cable. A switch on the handle allows you to change between the two modes of camera control for compatibility with different brands and models. The grip of the handle has an ergonomic design to maximize comfort.

Q: 3. Can I attach the Kondor Blue Trigger onto a tilta cage for the Red Komodo?

A: The Kondor Blue Trigger Wing Side Handle (Raven Black) has an ARRI rosette mount, which you can use to directly mount to cages with ARRI rosette mounts built into them, or though the use of adapters, you can try to adapt the ARRI rosette mount to another mount type that may work better with your cage. The Tilta Full Camera Cage for RED KOMODO (Black) has ARRI rosette mounts built into the cage so an adpate would not be required for mounting the handle to your cage.

Q: 7. Will the trigger button activate or control camera of an iPhone?

Q: 8. Does this have a half press function for AF?

A: No, the Kondor Blue Trigger Wing Side Handle would only control start and stop recording of the connected and supported camera.

Q: 9. Can the mount be adapted to attach to cages other than Kondor?

A: The Kondor Blue Cage Top Handle attaches via a NATO rail. This handle can go on any cage that has a NATO rail on top of it. If the cage does not have a NATO rail, you can purchase a NATO rail to screw on to the top of it like the SmallRig Quick Release NATO Rail (1.6) (BH #SM1409).

Q: 10. Does any cable comes with the package ?

A: The Kondor Blue Talon XL Top Handle with Trigger REC for Select Cameras Does not come with the trigger cable. You must select and separately purchase the correct one for your camera.

[Remote Trigger] I own and love many Kondor Blue products, and the Talon Top Handle has to be one of my favorites. I'm surprised no one has reviewed this thing yet. In a seemingly endless sea of camera rig brands and products, this handle stands out for it's clever design and superb functionality. It's a little heavier than some similar-sized handles, but it feels nice and compact. By putting the vertical support between your first and middle fingers, you have a grip that feels more secure. I have medium-sized hands, and my hand fits the split design perfectly. If you have big ol' bear paws, your pinkie may hang off the end. The firm but rubbery pad is comfortable. There is an excellent variety of mounting options that includes a 1/4-20 mount, two 1/4-20 mounts with locating pins, a 3/8 mount with locating pins, two combo 3/8 mounts with locating pins and 1/4-20 inserts, two cold shoes and two NATO lengths. And, a built-in wrench and a bubble level. I own two of these for my R5C and C70 cameras. In my humble opinion, one of the best-designed top handles out there. 5

[Topside Handle] Kondor Blue is the brand I prefer for all my camera rigging. They are well built, durable, and stay super secure in rugged environments. I primarily do sports video work and so these things need to keep my stuff in place at all times. I haven’t got time to fiddle diddle with attachments. 5

[0.65 lb] I finally built my proper cinema rig, and this camera cage is the perfect addition to it. The cage is extremely sturdy with no flex at all, and it has a ton of mounting options for extra gear. I love that the carry handle comes with a recording start/stop button, and that it also has a bubble level, magnetically held tools in the baseplate and a sensor plane mark/screw. The cage also has the support strut on the left of the lens rather than the right, so I can use my Meike EFTR-CL drop in filter adapter without issue, unlike with other cages. This cage costs more than the smallrig and tilta options, but it is worth the premium for those features. Also it just looks super cool! 5

[0.65 lb] I really like this handle. It has excellent build quality. There are a number of mounting points on the handle - I would rarely use them, but if I ever need them, having them is a plus. The rubber grip portion has a soft texture, but it is still a solid, firm grip. I have medium-sized hands, and this handle is perfect for my hand size as well as how I like to hold the handle. If you want to hold your camera rig handle like a medieval claymore, this may not be the handle for you. If you hold camera rig handles like I do - with my thumb on the backside, over the enamel Kondor badge in this case - you might find it quite comfortable. 5

The record button works well, though the button is quite loud when pressed. I bought the appropriate cable to use this with my R5C setup and it works perfectly. 5

[Remote Trigger] Look no further, this is the perfect cage for the R5C. It's also the only one that give doesn't block the left side of the body, so you can use any VND adapter like the Meike, KipperTie Revolva or Breakthrough. Super easy to assemble and the top handle with the record/stop button is a must for any serious video shooter. Worth every penny. 5
