Tilta wooden side handle for the left-hand side of a cage, Type III version in Tilta Gray. The body is hand-carved from solid black walnut and sits on a CNC-milled aluminium-alloy frame — it does not slip in the hand, does not go cold in frost and weighs only 150.75 g. It is held to the cage by an ARRI rosette with a locking wheel, so it fits onto Tilta cages and adapters with a rosette, shoulder rigs and the Gravity G2 and G2X gimbals. On top there is a 1/4″-20 thread for a cold shoe, a light or a microphone.
Wooden handle for the left side of the cage
The handle mounts on the left-hand side of a Tilta cage and gives the rig a second solid point to hold on to. The body is hand-carved from solid black walnut and sits on a CNC-milled aluminium-alloy frame. Wood does not slip in the hand and does not go cold outdoors in winter, the shape stays comfortable through a long shoot, and the whole handle weighs 150.75 g, so it adds next to nothing to the rig.
Type III mount: ARRI rosette
The handle ends in a toothed ARRI-standard rosette with a locking wheel. Loosen the wheel, swing the handle to any angle, tighten again — the rosette teeth then hold that position under the weight of the whole rig. It fits Tilta cages and adapters with a rosette, shoulder rigs, and the Gravity G2 and G2X gimbals. It does not fit a cage that has a 1/4″-20 thread with locating pins or a NATO rail instead of a rosette — types II, IV, VI and VII are made for those.
Small, yet it carries the whole rig
The handle measures 99 × 71 × 41 mm — it takes up less room in a bag than a lens and does not get in the way on the cage when you fold the screen out or swap a battery. It is built entirely from aluminium alloy and stainless steel, so it carries a rig with a lens, monitor and recorder without complaint.
A shape that fits the palm
The scallops on the sides guide your fingers into a natural grip and the flare at the top stops your hand sliding down, so you do not have to re-seat it during a long handheld take. Wood keeps the temperature of your hand — unlike an aluminium handle it does not go cold in frost or burn in the sun.
Hand-carved black walnut
Every piece is carved from solid black walnut and finished by hand, so the grain pattern is different on each handle. The wood is not lacquered to a high gloss — the surface stays matte and natural so it still holds in a sweaty palm.
1/4″-20 thread on top for accessories
The top face of the aluminium frame carries a 1/4″-20 thread. A cold shoe, a small light, a microphone, a phone mount or a controller goes straight on it, so the accessory sits right above your hand instead of competing for space on the cage.
Left side — the right-hand version is the TA-RWH series
This handle is the left-hand one — both the shape of the wood and the position of the mount are made for the left hand. Tilta makes the mirrored right-hand version as the TA-RWH series with the same mount types, so the two can be used as a pair and the camera is carried in both hands like a shoulder rig.
