Handles for a 15mm rig?

[ev149]

I've been working on building a rig for my 600D and have found all the parts I need pretty cheap except for handles. I need a pair to go onto my rig, but my budget is pretty tight. I'm looking for something like this, but around half of the price. If you guys know of any decent, cheap handles; or how to mod bicycle handles to fit on my rig, that would be great!

I've used the RR Micro handles and found them to be a versatile and solid choice. These look like a similar design and should be fine as long as they have decent hardware.

Wow, $46 is too rich for your blood?

46 was too rich for my blood too.

12.60 shipped? not so much

Mitch - $46 for two would be no problem, but I really can't justify spending close to $50 for what's basically a bike handle on an aluminum rod.

Anyway, I ended up just buying a pair of screws off eBay and attaching some old bike handles I found lying around.

Well made, simple, solid, and lightweight. Sweat resistant grip. I have one of those blue colored handles mentioned above in that ebay link as well. They are suspiciously light and feel very cheap. Like cheap plastic.

I use these and love them. Better than most $200+ handles I've used.

Yes, the Cavision handles are great for the price.
