Tilta wooden side handle for the right-hand side of a cage, base version without a mount adapter 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 a mounting…

The handle mounts on the right-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.
This is the bare handle: the aluminium frame has a two-screw mounting face on the front, but no mount adapter is in the box. The manufacturer does not list one in the packing list and states on the ATTACHMENTS panel that the adapter is chosen to suit your rig. Tilta TA-AHA adapters are sold separately — Type II (1/4″-20 with two locating pins), Type III (ARRI rosette), Type IV (NATO rail clamp) and Type VI (NATO clamp with extra standoff). If you want the adapter included, take the TA-RWH6 version (Type VI).
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.
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.
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.
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 directly above your hand instead of competing for space on the cage.
This handle is the right-hand one — both the shape of the wood and the position of the mount are made for the right hand. Tilta makes the mirrored left-hand version as the TA-LWH 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.
