Ikan ELE-HDL-TOP Elements Top Handle and Rods

Versatile Top Handle System for Professional Camera Rigs
The Ikan ELE-HDL-TOP is a fully integrated top handle solution designed to give filmmakers superior control, stability, and accessory mounting options for their camera setups. Whether you're working with a cage, rig, or a Blackmagic Cinema Camera, this system enhances your rig's functionality while providing a solid, ergonomic grip. Built for demanding production environments, it is an essential upgrade for any serious content creator or cinematographer.

Comfortable, Removable Handle with Integrated Cold Shoe
The top handle is precision-machined for optimal comfort and control, featuring a natural grip pattern that feels secure during handheld operation. Mounted on a mini-dovetail rail, the handle can be easily slid off when not needed, allowing for quick adjustments on set. A built-in cold shoe mount at one end expands your setup capabilities by enabling direct attachment of monitors, microphones, or lighting accessories without additional adapters.

Modular Cheese Plate with Multiple Mounting Options
Included with the system is a robust mounting cheese plate designed for maximum versatility. The plate is equipped with numerous 1/4"-20 threaded holes for accessory mounting and features three strategically placed holes specifically aligned for attaching to a Blackmagic Cinema Camera. When needed, the plate can be removed with a simple 3mm hex key, transforming the handle into a rod-mountable unit for even more rigging possibilities.

Integrated 15mm Rod System for Expanded Rig Building
Between the cheese plate and the handle sits an integrated 15mm rod clamp, which serves as the backbone of this modular system. To get you started, the kit includes two 8-inch 15mm rods, allowing you to mount follow focus units, matte boxes, battery plates, or any other rod-mounted accessories. This integrated design ensures that your rig remains compact, balanced, and highly adaptable to changing production needs.

Optimized for Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Universal Compatibility
While perfectly suited for Blackmagic Cinema Cameras, the ELE-HDL-TOP is also designed for universal use across a wide range of camera bodies and cage systems. Its flexible mounting options make it an excellent addition to custom rigs, providing sturdy support and expanded accessory mounting in both studio and run-and-gun setups.

Durable Construction for Demanding Production Environments
Engineered from high-quality materials, the ELE-HDL-TOP is built to endure the rigors of professional filmmaking. Whether on location or in studio settings, this handle system offers reliable performance and rugged durability, ensuring that your gear remains secure and functional in all shooting scenarios.
