The Talon is Kondor Blue’s answer to a compact camera cage top handle. But don’t let its size fool you because this thing is packed with useful features and—most importantly—it’s actually comfortable. The design of this camera cage top handle has been contoured to perfectly fit your hand with your pointer finger securely in the front and your middle, ring, and pinky fingers resting on a molded rubber pad.
Much like its namesake, the Talon camera cage top handle is meant to clasp all of your accessories with various mounting options. Starting at the front, a short NATO allows quick accessorizing or mounting any of our Monitor Mounts via the ⅜” ARRI Mount. Each side of the handle also features a ¼” 20 mount with anti-twist ARRI locating pin holes perfect for adding side rod support. The top features a cold shoe mount, two more ⅜ ARRI mounts pre-loaded with ⅜ to ¼ bushings, NATO rail, and our signature bubble level. Finally, the back has an additional cold shoe mount with a threaded ¼” 20 mount perfect for wireless mic receivers or other small accessories.
The Talon camera cage top handle mounts via a NATO clamp and has a built-in 4mm hex tool to save you in a pinch with mounting other popular accessories. Designed with compact versatility in mind, the Talon is ready to be put to use without getting in the way. For our larger version, make sure to check out our Talon XL top handle.
