Ikan STRATUS Complete Cage for Sony a7 II Series Cameras

Take your Sony a7 II series camera to the next level with the STRATUS Complete Cage, a meticulously designed support system tailored specifically for the a7 II, a7R II, and a7S II models. This robust camera cage is engineered to seamlessly integrate with your camera's form factor, providing unobstructed access to all buttons, dials, and ports, including memory card slots, A/V inputs, outputs, and remote port access.

Crafted from high-quality, durable aluminum, the STRATUS Complete Cage ensures a sturdy and reliable base for your camera. The cage is composed of three main components: a versatile top handle, a sleek base, and a precision-molded camera frame. The top handle, which mounts securely to a true NATO rail with two hard stops, boasts 40 1/4-20 mounts for attaching a wide array of accessories. It can accommodate Ikan grips or custom bicycle handles for a personalized touch, and even allows for a 15mm rod to be inserted at the end, secured by a 1/4-20 screw. A convenient cold shoe mount at the front of the handle enhances your ability to attach additional equipment such as lights or microphones.

The top of the cage frame features an adjustable NATO rail, providing flexibility in positioning accessories and audio adapters. The base, designed with simplicity and functionality in mind, includes mounts for two 15mm rods (comprising 2x 200mm rods plus 2x 100mm extensions with couplings) and offers both 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 mounting points for tripod quick release plates. Large, solid locking knobs with a kipping function ensure secure attachment, even in tight spaces.

The base connects to the frame with an Arca-Swiss style connection, flanked by hard stops for precise horizontal placement. The vertically adjustable rods offer approximately 1 inch of play, accommodating a variety of matte boxes, follow focuses, and lens supports. Additionally, the base features a lock and track system for lightweight 15mm dovetail plates, though compatibility may vary due to manufacturing standards.

The camera frame itself is the epitome of tailored design, with strategic cutouts for button and dial access, as well as a bottom cutout for swift battery changes without the need to remove the cage. The positionable, universal cable clamp on the left side of the cage provides support for cables, ensuring they stay organized and out of the way during shoots.

Moreover, the Arca-Swiss style base connection is compatible with many photo tripod quick releases, offering the versatility to mount the cage directly to a photo tripod, bypassing the need for a separate quick release plate.

Choose the STRATUS Complete Cage for its perfect fit, extensive accessory mounting options, and the ability to customize your Sony a7 II series camera setup for professional-grade videography and photography.
