The perfect top handle for Z Cam E2 Flagship cameras
I absolutely love this top handle. It's a huge upgrade from the cheapo version I was using before! This one from Nitze is beautifully designed and ergonomic so it fits the human form perfectly. It feels absolutely great in the hand and I imagaine it's going to really help me out on long day shoots wherein my hand used to cramp up after long handheld takes etc.
The balance point is nicely forward which really helps to balance rigs with heavy lenses upfront... but amazingly so many other manufacturers even get this simple part wrong. With this handle my rig balances nice in my hand even with or without extra battery power at the back (V Mount).
The Nato clamp is really solid and locks down with no movement at all. I was surprised to see that the SmallRig NATO rail I had previsouly installed on my Nitze cage didn't seem to fit with this clamp... but I really like the low-profile NATO rail that came included with the handle, and I prefer the low profile of the included rail anyway so all good.
I really like the range of professional attachment options... I've got my monitor attached with a Nitze monitor mount on the 3x 1/4 20s on top of the handle, but I might try moving this forward/down or even try a low profile monitor mount from Nitze just to tweak it to perfection.
This is the best top handle for the Z Cam E2 and any other rig that you choose to attach to. Nitze is not messing around with this really comfortable design. It already has a cult following online and I'm truly surprised I'm the first person leaving a rewview here! Trust me you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic design. Annoyingly heavy.
The profusion of 3/8" threads with locating pins is terrific, allowing you to use accessories that don't spin loose at the worst possible moment. The placement of a NATO dovetail is clever, and the finger grooves are comfortable and help add some grip to the smooth aluminum. I just wish it weren't so heavy somehow. Because it really does add significant weight to the rig.

The best and most comfortable handle I've used.
I decided to order the Nitze handle because I had heard a lot of good things about it. After researching it myself and viewing the pictures, I was sold.
This handle is equipped with several 1/4-20 holes for mounting different hardware. It also has 10 ARRI location holes, making this handle very useful. Additionally, it has a quick-release safety rail, so you can attach and detach the handle quickly.
If you’re on the fence about this handle, I can tell you that it is very comfortable in hand. I highly recommend the Nitze handle for your camera.

Allows for quick release of monitor for fast break downs and quick attachment.
One of the best designs for cage handles. With the Nato rail on top, I am able to quickly attach and remove my monitor, which makes it easy to setup and breakdown throughout a shoot. The mount to the cage can be quickly unscrewed, as the handle comes with a Hex screw that you can stick into the screw for tightening and loosening as needed.

I tested 5 handles and settled on the Stinger
Its comfortable and strong. I prefer timber due to metal being quite cold in Sydney winter. Hands down the most comfortable handle I tried due to it being quite thick and those big ridges aid grip confidence. My index finger hits the locking mechanism when grabbing which is a bit annoying but the gap is smaller than my previous handle so Ill get used to it.
The angled front it probably the main reason I bought it. I wanted to bag my camera with a monitor attached and the angle allows a monitor to pack lower with a small rig monitor holder, all I needed was 10mm and I got it. Overall height is lower than other handles despite being a big handle. I use with a Kondor Blue Cage and it fits without issue. This cage saves overall height as the Nato is built in. Theis combo lowers overall height by about 15mm.

Bought this for my Canon C70
I love this handle. I bought it for my Canon C70. I originally was going to get a Smallrig handle but I went looking for a cold shoe nato rail and found one by Nitze and that lead me to this handle. Love the design, the quick release and all the mounting point. It is beefy so keep that in mind but I love it.

The perfect camera grip!
Out of the box the handle felt and looked like it was made from quality construction. It’s a bit on the heavier side, which gave me confidence that it would hold the expensive cameras and accessories I would attach to it. The NATO clamp had a well built quick release mechanism that made a tight connection with the included rail. What impressed me the most were the small nubs placed on the opposite ends of the NATO rale, which would prevent the handle from sliding off the rail unintentionally. I was also able to mount my atomos monitor and light to the handle without any issues. After using this grip for a 6 hour shoot, I can confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a handle!

A BEAST OF A HANDLE!
I absolutely love this handle! I'm normally a Smallrig guy, but, this thing has totally won me over. VERY comfortable and has a TON of mounting points. HIGHLY recommended! About the only negative I can think of is that it's heavy.

I never really post reviews...But THIS TIME!
I just had to say that this grip is great! I did a lot of research and decided to give this Nitze top handle a chance based on the design features and positive reviews. I was nervous at first because of its price...but I have to say it is one of the best things I've ordered in a long long time. Absolutely NO regrets! It's built like a tank and it has a bit of weight to it. But I prefer the added weight and it just feels amazing in my hands. Buy this grip! You won't be sorry.

Comfortable, durable, and most important, MODULAR!
The Nitze Stinger Handle Top Handle Grip is an excellent grip mount for any camera, but I especially like using it with my BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera. I can mount a microphone and light to the top mount anywhere I want using the included Nato rail attachement. There are many 1/4-20 and 3/8" mounting points all around the grip. The hand molding is also very comfortable.

Question & Answer
Question :
Can this attach directly to camera hot shoe?
Answer :
No. It can not mount directly to the camera hot shoe mount. It will require Arri locking mount or the other version with nato lock. Handle is amazing . Jut make sure you can mount it to your camera cage via one of the methods. I choose the Arri locking method to go along with my smallrig cage for the z cam e2 m4.
Question :
will it work with the Smallrig cage 2003b? what do I need to add a monitor to it?
Answer :
I don’t see that cage listed on smallrig site.
But depending which it the nitze handles you decide to get . Either Arri locking with 3/8 threads which is what I have . Or the quick release nato rail style with lock.
Both are great designs. I just sent with Arri locking 3/8.
So just look at the bottom of the handle where it mounts and see which method will work best for you. And if your cage has that Arri locking threads already then you don’t need anything else . If you buy the nitze quick release handle model then you will need to get the nitze nato rail so you can screw that to the cage and then lock the handle to the nato rail.
I have videos on YouTube showing this handle on my rig with monitor and other gear - Leopazzo Productions nitze stinger top handle - search
Question :
Will the smallrig quick release safety rail 4cm work?
Answer :
I don’t own the nato rail quick release version but from my understanding the smallrig nato rail does not fit the bottom of the nitze handle
