FAQs
What cameras are compatible with the Run/Stop button?
The Run/Stop functionality requires a specific cable tailored to your camera model. Please consult the Kondor Blue website for a compatibility list and available cables.
How do I attach the handle to my camera?
The handle attaches via a NATO clamp, which slides onto a compatible NATO rail typically found on camera cages or rigs. Tighten the clamp to secure it.
What types of accessories can I mount?
The handle offers a variety of mounts including multiple ⅜” ARRI mounts, NATO rails, and cold shoe mounts, suitable for monitors, lights, microphones, recorders, and more.
Is the hex tool always attached?
Yes, the 4mm hex tool is integrated into the handle for convenient access and storage.
Can I attach a microphone to this handle?
Yes, you can attach microphones with standard cold shoe mounts to the available cold shoe slots on the handle.
Does the handle come with the Run/Stop cable?
No, the Run/Stop cable is sold separately and must be purchased based on your specific camera model.
What is the purpose of the bubble level?
The bubble level helps you ensure your camera is perfectly level during shooting, which is crucial for many types of videography and photography.
Troubleshooting
Run/Stop button not working
Verify the correct Run/Stop cable for your camera model is securely connected to both the camera and the handle. Ensure the cable is fully inserted and compatible with your camera's trigger port.
Handle feels loose on the camera rig
Check that the NATO clamp is properly aligned with the NATO rail and that the locking mechanism is fully engaged and tightened. Ensure the NATO rail on your camera rig is clean and free of obstructions.
Difficulty mounting accessories
Ensure accessories are designed for the correct mount type (e.g., ⅜” ARRI, cold shoe). For ARRI mounts, use the included bushing if required by your accessory. Keep mounting threads clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the Talon XL, ensure your camera cage or rig has a compatible NATO rail. Slide the handle's NATO clamp onto the rail and tighten the locking mechanism. Connect the Run/Stop cable (sold separately and camera-specific) to your camera's remote trigger port and the handle's designated input.
Compatibility: The handle attaches via a standard NATO clamp. The Run/Stop functionality is camera-dependent; check Kondor Blue's compatibility list for specific camera models and required cables. The ⅜” ARRI mounts are standard for most monitor and accessory arms. The cold shoe mounts accommodate standard cold shoe accessories.
Care: Clean the rubber grip and handle body with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the NATO clamp and mounting screws are kept clean and free of debris to maintain a secure connection.
