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.

Necessary addition for handheld shooting with the Sony FX Top Handle
Seems pretty sturdy. If you have the XLR handle, you know that it’s made of cheap plastic, so this top plate is necessary to protect it when shooting handheld in the field.

A must needed part
The Camera Foundry that makes the Cineback advised to buy this part. It definitely was the part that I needed to attached a bigger screen for my camera rig.

adds utility weight and protection
I purchased a refurbished top handle that was broken at the xlr module. I think having this installed will reinforce the weak point. aside from that, the cold shoe and 1/4" threaded holes give you a perfect place to put a camera hop or timecode box.

Must-Have product for your FX3/FX30
I use this on my FX3 every day and it's well made and quite handy. I attach my Senheiser G3 mic pack to this and it keeps everything nice and tidy. Get this with the handle extension piece and you've got a great solution!

Almost perfect
Great product but it’s really hard to access the input selector. I use a hex key to do it faster. Personally I don’t switch the audio input during a shoot after the initial setup so I’m ok with it.

Nice addition to xlr handle, adds cold shoe as well as multiple threaded mounting spots. Also adds protection, can’t go wrong with that.
