The NATO Top Handle Cheese Plate from CAMVATE includes a NATO top handle, a top cheese plate, and a 2.4" safety rail. It is designed for use with the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini cameras. It is rotatable, allows for quick release, and is constructed of aluminum alloy for durability. It allows for various configurations thanks to its multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes. The top handle comes with an integrated 15mm rod clamp for attaching monitor/EVF support brackets (available separately), and two integrated cold shoe mounts for attaching a microphone shockmount and on-camera light. You can adjust the top grip position with the rotating knob, which can be loosened or tightened with the included Allen key.

The BMD accessory kit has a 30 day return and the CAME-TV kit is not returnable, exchange for defects only.
