Kinefinity's New Control SideGrip

Kinefinity has a new SideGrip that was designed to enhance its camera’s usability and be a good addition for when users are shooting handheld.

Just like the previous SideGrip, it features record/stop trigger and it provides control over shooting parameters and menu navigation. In addition to this functionality, Kinefinty has added focus, iris, and zoom control, enabling you to control certain PL/EF/E mount lenses.

It is made out of rosewood and Kinefinity states that it offers an ergonomic and tactile user experience. The new SideGrip is compatible with MAVO Edge 8K/MAVO Edge 6K/MAVO mark2 LF/MAVO mark2 S35 cameras running KineOS 7.2 firmware.

The new SideGrip is scheduled to be officially launched later this year.
