The SmallRig 2786C Side Handle for Gimbals is designed for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators who want greater control and comfort when operating a handheld gimbal. By adding a dedicated side grip to compatible stabilizers, it provides an alternative two-handed operating position that can help distribute the weight of the camera and gimbal more comfortably during longer shooting sessions.

Ergonomic Two-Handed Operation

The 2786C provides an additional grip point for compatible gimbals, allowing the operator to use both hands when controlling the camera setup. A second grip can provide improved handling and make it easier to maintain steady camera movement during pans, tracking shots, low-angle footage, and other cinematic movements. The ergonomic design is particularly useful when a camera and lens combination becomes tiring to support with one hand.

Flexible Right- and Left-Hand Configuration

The handle can be configured for either right- or left-handed operation. This flexibility allows users to position the grip according to their preferred operating style, camera controls, and shooting requirements. It can also be useful when changing the position of the gimbal during different types of shots.

Multiple Accessory Mounting Options

The handle provides several mounting points for additional filmmaking accessories. Two 1/4"-20 threaded holes can be used with compatible accessories, while the ARRI 3/8"-16 anti-twist thread provides a secure mounting option for supported equipment. A cold shoe mount can accommodate compatible accessories such as microphones, wireless receivers, or other compact cold-shoe devices.
