Tilta TA-XTH2-B Xeno Top Handle - Black

The Tilta Xeno Top Handle (TA-XTH2-B) is designed to give filmmakers a comfortable and functional carry point on their camera rigs. Built from aluminum alloy with a generous silicone-padded grip section, the handle strikes a balance between durability and comfort that holds up during long handheld shoots. The extended grip design provides improved clearance between your hand and the camera cage, reducing the knuckle-contact issue that plagues many shorter top handles. A safety release pin adds confidence that the handle will stay locked in place during active shooting.

On the practical side, the handle serves as a mounting platform with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded points featuring locating pins for repeatable accessory positioning. This makes it straightforward to mount a shotgun microphone, small monitor, or LED light directly to the handle where they are easily accessible. The cold shoe base mount on this particular model provides universal compatibility and quick attachment to most camera cages, making it well suited for run-and-gun setups where speed matters more than load-bearing capacity. Filmmakers who need a more robust connection for heavier builds should note that Tilta offers the same handle with NATO, 1/4"-20, or dual 1/4"-20 base mounts as separate SKUs.
