Overview

The SmallRig 3028-SR Adjustable Gimbal Sling Handgrip is purpose-built to solve one of the most common complaints among gimbal operators: arm fatigue during prolonged shooting. By relocating the grip point below and to the side of the gimbal, it shifts the weight distribution so you can hold underslung and low-angle positions for far longer. The 180-degree rosette joint gives you continuous angle adjustment, and because the joint is detachable, the grip doubles as a standalone rosette handgrip when the full sling configuration isn't needed. At just 310 grams, it adds minimal weight to your rig while supporting payloads up to 8 kg.

Mounting and accessory options are a clear strength of this handgrip. The NATO clamp with anti-removal stud lets you attach and detach quickly without tools, while an integrated NATO rail on the side provides a ready-made spot for a monitor mount. Two cold shoe mounts on the top and side accommodate wireless microphones or video transmitters, and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes open up compatibility with magic arms and ARRI-standard accessories. A QD socket mount rounds out the design, giving you the option to add a neck or shoulder strap for additional support on longer shoots.
