[NSBM] 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.

[NSBM] 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.

[NSBM] Solid aluminum build, works great.

[NSBM] Solid and look good!

[NSBM] 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.

[NSBM] Great for mounting lights and other accessories

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.

[0.14 lb] nice

[0.14 lb] Once again Kondor Blue comes in clutch with exactly what I need with a quality that outclassed their prices. Any time I need anything for my rig I go straight to them because I need reliable gear that won't fail me when I need it. They also have amazing customer service that will always do right by you!

[NSBM] This is very lightweight rods which have from both sides M12 threads, you can use Kondor Blue or SmallRig 15mm Rod Connectors both will work. The only con for me is that they sell rods only in gray color as i like mostly silver color, that's why i bought additional silver rods from Tilta and 8Sinn which are a bit heavier than this rods.
