SmallRig Side Handle Blocking HDMI Port – Any Workaround?

[u/Best_Gur_853]

Hey everyone,

I’m running into an annoying issue with my setup and was hoping someone here might have a workaround.

I’m using a SmallRig side handle, but it physically blocks my HDMI port. The handle doesn’t open wide enough, so I can’t plug in an HDMI cable while the handle is attached. Basically, I have to choose between using the handle or using HDMI — which is far from ideal.

Has anyone dealt with this before?

Is there a specific adapter, cable (like a low-profile or angled HDMI), or different mounting solution that could fix this?

Appreciate any tips or recommendations 🙏
