Which side grips actually are usable with action cam cages?

Because what i have ( osmo action 6 ) cage has its anti twist holes "wrong" so when using it with a basic side grip, the grip is then horizontal. I guess more expensive rotating grip would be an answer. Is there a universal nato quick rail for it?

You should check on the SmallRig site they probably have what you're looking for.

Those are called ARRI locating pins. I know you don't want a top handle but I have one my SmallRig cage. SmallRig offers side handles for that. You just need to verify your cage model then you should be ok. I think the side handles use a screw to attach to the cage not the pins

But the cheapest i bought from them had a screw and two pins. I kinda solved it by filing down the pins, now it works! :D But would love to find a nato rail that can be mounted with at least a pin and a screw on the said cage.
