Almost Perfect
I am using this with my VCT Pro Baseplate and Recoil Handle. This combination makes for a beautiful, professional rig. I love that it has tons of flexibility, which fits with future camera upgrade plans. My only quibble is that the 3" rail that attaches to the baseplate leaves very little room to slide the half cage on and off the rail. the baseplate lever has to be in just the right position.

The Zacuto Halfcage Rail attaches to the Zacuto VCT Universal baseplate. It creates a solid, universal cage structure around the side and top of your camera rig and is adjustable to work with all camera shapes and sizes. It creates great stability, giving your camera a sturdy side grip and the ability to add a top grip. An included 3" Z-Rail attaches along the side of Zacuto's VCT Universal baseplate with two 1/4" 20 screws. The Halfcage Rail then attaches via a ratcheting, quick-release clamp at any point along the 3" Z-Rail.
At its most compact height, the Halfcage Rail has a clearance of 5.5". Expand the cage via four Allen screws on the handle side and the maximum clearance grows to 9". The handle side has two rows of 1/4" 20 tapped screw holes and a quick-release 15mm rod port to attach accessories. The handle itself is hand tooled, fine, three-quarter maple. It is a double-sided Z-Rail to attach a top handle or Z-Rail accessory. There are four threaded 1/4" 20 screw holes for threaded accessories. The Z-rail is double-sided so accessories can be mounted on top or under slung.
