Well, lanparte makes remote that can be installed on normal handles

I really like the wooden ones

Any reason for this? As such things are pain in the ass, until they are perfect fit to your hand.

Usually it is better idea to change hangrips on Lanparte handles (you can usually use any bike hangrips, including ergonomic ones).

I like the feeling of wood better than plastic / rubber / metal, and aesthetics are honestly a consideration as well

Best feel from all wooden stuff is for cork handles.

Actual wood, especially properly covered feels very bad during long takes.

I love the look of old Aaton cameras, and wooden handgrips are a way of hearkening back to that look.

Well, this is more like fashion :-)

bh sells a cheap remote for pany cameras. Seems it costs less than $15, so you could risk disassembling one and try remounting in any grip

What about this, I wonder if it works properly on panasonic and Bmpcc - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Camera-Remote-Handle-Pistol-Canon/dp/B00A2S1K7M/ref=sr_1_4/277-9621510-5575256?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1425461724&sr=1-4

Hi @Sangye. I am also in search of an Aaton style wooden hand grip, similar to the KinoGrip, Movigrip etc. but more within my budget. I have found two options you might be interested in. The first is from F&V http://www.fvlighting.com/wooden-ball-handgrip-407.html which looks fairly decent. The other is this new Brazil rosewood grip from Tilta http://cvp.com/index.php?t=product/tilta_es-t17-a&gclid=CIa36_CjoMkCFUEaGwodj5cNAQ which is part of their new Sony A7 series cage. I spoke to Tilta and they confirmed that the hand grip is available seperately from the cage for $165. They said it is currently out of stock but it should be available in a couple of weeks. They also confirmed that it will work with my BMPCC (which means it should also work with your GH4) but I will need to request a LANC cable with my order ($30). This looks to me like a fantastic option. It appears to be very well made and has a similar aesthetic to the KinoGrip. For less than £130 with a cable to me it's well worth the wait and I'm getting one as soon as they become available.

Hi Ray @KinoGrip thanks for the info on cable compatability with Blackmagic/Panasonic. I've never used a GH4 myself so thanks for clearing that up. It's clear that Tilta based their design on the Kinogrip but to be fair the Kinogrip and others like the Movigrip, Ergocine, Vocas etc. are all heavily inspired by Aaton handgrips. Tilta's offering is definitely the least original though and I don't deny that they copied the shape of the Grenoble.

It seems that Tilta has changed the design of the handle very slightly now that it's been released http://www.cinegearpro.com/tilta-tt-0509-r-wooden-handgrip.html and there is also a left handle available without a REC trigger.

I think that people who can afford it, or are shooting on Arri, Red or F55 for example will still buy a Kinogrip over the Tilta. I have no doubt that it's a superior product and for many shooters it's a justified investment. However, for a lot of us shooting on Blackmagic/GH4/A7s etc. it's a vastly different economy and Tilta, rightly or wrongly, are filling that gap in the market. Besides if it's any consolation, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
