Review: Awesome little add-on for fx3 audio handle. - This was such a nice little Upgrade for my fx3 audio handle. Reinforced it a little bit and added just the extra room I needed!
Review: A must-have accessory for the XLR-H1 Handle - If you're using your Sony top-handle without this, you're missing out on what should have been included by Sony. The additional cold shoe mount and 1/4-20 threads are very handy if you're mounting a light, microphone, or other camera accessories (don't go too heavy though, as the handle is still made of plastic. The additional rigidity and protection it offers to the top handle should provide some peace of mind. This is best used with the handle extension, which offers even more mounting points.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome little add-on for fx3 audio handle.
*by T***S on January 11, 2026*

This was such a nice little Upgrade for my fx3 audio handle. Reinforced it a little bit and added just the extra room I needed!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-have accessory for the XLR-H1 Handle
*by A***T on June 12, 2025*

If you're using your Sony top-handle without this, you're missing out on what should have been included by Sony. The additional cold shoe mount and 1/4-20 threads are very handy if you're mounting a light, microphone, or other camera accessories (don't go too heavy though, as the handle is still made of plastic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fixes two major flaws with the Sony audio handle!
*by J***Y on February 13, 2024*

When I originally installed the Sony XLR-H1 to my Sony A7SIII using the SmallRig conversion piece onto my cage, I was incredibly disappointed with how lightweight AND short the stock audio handle was. That's when I did some digging and found this nifty little device from SmallRig. Not only does it add a ton of extra mounting points and NATO rail to the handle, but more importantly it adds about an inch of extra length, plus a handgrip to improve ergonomics. Given it's all metal, it also makes me feel a lot more confident in protecting the plastic Sony handle, and paired up with the other SmallRig part to connect this piece to the top of the XLR jack, and the handle feels absolutely bulletproof now. Honestly a MUST HAVE if you own this audio handle!
