Manfrotto MVA518W Adjustable Handles

The Manfrotto SYMPLA Adjustable Handles offer versatile positioning-vertical, horizontal, upside down, and everything in between. They can be spaced closer or wider apart and rotated 360°, ensuring both comfort and precision. Once your ideal setup is found, simply lock each handle in place with its individual locking dial, allowing each to be positioned independently.

The Handles hang by ball joints (hang until locked). The flyout arms they hang from are attached to a SYMPLA Universal Mount. These arms can be angled closer together or wider apart similar to how the Handles do. Two metal spacers come included to be fitted between the Handles and flyout arms to extend the lengths of the Handles.

The Handles also play a part in incorporating remote controls into SYMPLA rigs. SYMPLA offers two different remote control units for adjusting focus on DSLRs. One of the ways of mounting these remotes is by way of the Handles. They attach to the top parts of the Handles, in conjunction with the same spacers mentioned above.

Another application to note: when used with a SYMPLA rig that’s attached to a video head, the Handles can serve as double pan bars.
