Ultralight Cinema Top Handle

## Key Features & Specifications

* Industry-Standard ARRI Locating Mount: Dual-pin anti-twist interface with a 1/4"-20 captive thumb screw clearance.

* Skeletal Truss Design (I-Beam Profile): Engineered for maximum strength-to-weight ratio, drastically reducing material usage and print time while resisting high load forces.

* Modular Rigging Expansion: Front ARRI 1/4"-20 locating mount for monitor brackets or evf mounts. Top ARRI locating mount + continuous line of countersunk 1/4"-20 threaded/clearance holes. * Integrated front Cold Shoe with tight tolerance retention.

* Ergonomic Angled Offset: Ergonomically canted drop arm provides balanced center-of-gravity distribution over camera cages and allows easy access to the locking knob.

## Hardware Required (BOM) To mount and use this handle on any standard cage (SmallRig, Tilta, etc.): 1. 1x 1/4"-20 D-Ring or Knurled Thumbscrew (threaded length: 10–14 mm). 2. 2x ARRI Locating Pins (standard Ø3 mm pins, or cut M3 screw shanks). Note: The 3D model features standard 15 mm pitch spacing. 

Filament Recommendation | PETG, ABS, ASA, or PETG-CF / PLA-CF | High stiffness, impact resistance, and outdoor UV/temperature stability. 

## Design Process (Prototype to Product) Designed and fully parameterized in OpenSCAD / FreeCAD. All clearances and mounting dimensions were modeled to cinema-grade tolerances (21.2 mm cold shoe clearance, 15.0 mm ARRI pin pitch, 6.5 mm screw bore) to ensure seamless compatibility with commercial camera cages.
