Specifically designed for the Sony A7R III camera, the form-fitting cage offers additional protection and securely locks the camera to the cage. It provides easy access to all controls and ports as well as multiple attachment points for accessories. It also features an ARRI Standard Rosette that can be mounted in four different locations on the cage which is compatible with several world-renowned Shape Push-Button Handles such as WL-HAND1, WR-HAND1, HAND1.

For handheld shooting, the side 15mm rod clamps, located at the back of the cage, are designed for quickly securing the new ergonomic 15mm Rod Indexable Mini Push-Button Wooden Side Handles with Padded Straps using a single ratchet knob on each side (sold separately).

Shape Sony A7R II I Horizontal 15mm Rod Clamps
The Shape Sony A7R III Cage provides a 15mm Rod Clamp on both sides, allowing convenient positioning of the Horizontal 15mm Rods on each side of the cage. For handheld shooting, the side 15mm rod clamps, located at the back of the cage, are designed for quickly securing the new ergonomic Mini Push-Button Wooden Side Handles with Padded Straps using a single ratchet knob on each side (not included, sold separately).

New Shape Wooden Push-Button Top Handle with 15mm LW Clamp (A73ATH)
The new ergonomic and easily removable Shape Top Handle was designed to provide the required space for mounting the Sony XLR-K2M audio unit. It offers a comfortable and secure wooden grip for carrying your camera and securing accessories. It also features the Shape Push-Button Technology, enabling you to balance the weight and rotate the handle in the position you need on a 360deg. axis.

This nicely crafted Top Handle provides multiple mounting options, including ARRI Standard 3/8"-16 anti-rotating hole patterns on the top, Shape Standard 1/4"-20 anti-rotating hole patterns on the top and side, cold shoe mounts and a 3/8"-16 UNC threaded hole at the front.

Made of CNC Aluminum, the 15mm LW Clamp for Top Handle can be attached to our new Shape Push-Button Wooden Top Handle. The clamp is designed to support a 15mm rod such as the Shape REVOLT EVF Mount Bracket. The ratchet knob clamp lets you adjust and strongly fix the position of the 15mm rod to the Top Handle.

Shape Sony A7R III Quick Release Delta Rod Base System (A73BASE)
The cage can easily snap in and be quickly removed from its 15mm LW base by pressing the release button at the rear of the mount for handheld shooting. The cage is connected to its base via the new Shape Quick Release Delta Rod Base System using a specifically designed 15mm rod bloc system for the optical center of the Sony A7R III camera. It allows quick mounting and dismounting of the camera.

Shape Metabones Adapter Support Bracket
Shape created a removable Metabones Adapter Support Bracket specifically designed for the Sony A7R III camera that is integrated in the cage. Fixed with 2 screws, the bracket's height is easily adjustable and provides 15mm of vertical adjustment. It supports the weight and reduces the stress on the camera lens mount. When there is no Metabones Adapter, simply unscrew the 1/4"-20 screw to quickly remove the bracket.

Shape 15mm Rods (18") (15TUBE18)
The 15mm Rods are a pair of 18"-long rods, allowing you to use available rod mounted accessories. The rods are machined from hollow aluminum tubes and feature chamfered ends.

Shape Quick Handle Rod Bloc (HAND5)
The unique patented Shape Quick Handle Push-Button Technology features two handles that can rotate individually on a 360deg. axis. The Shape handles can be rotated by pushing the red buttons. Once the buttons are released, the handles are firmly secured in place. You can achieve precise positioning by sliding the Shape Quick Handle Rod Bloc along the rods and secure the handles by tightening the single red knob on the Rod Bloc.

Compatible with all 15mm rod systems, the Shape Quick Handle Rod Bloc can be attached at the front of any type of camera support. All CNC machined, high-quality aircraft grade aluminum parts are hard anodized for a resistant finish and assembled with stainless steel screws to prevent rusting. It also features a stainless steel locking mechanism for more durability.

Mini Composite Shoulder Pad (SHPAD3) and Back Pad (PAD1)
To complete this shoulder mount setup, Shape included an ergonomic, foam and gel Mini Composite Shoulder Pad made of non-slip material and also a cushioned Back Pad for stability and comfort while shooting. The Shape Mini Composite Shoulder Pad is the perfect solution for switching rapidly from the Shape camera rig to tripod without having to remove it. Cushioned for your comfort, the Shoulder Pad rests on your shoulder and can remain on the camera rig permanently. This way, your body supports the weight of the camera and its accessories. The Rod Bloc on top is used to hold 15mm rods to attach the camera platform.

Follow Focus Friction & Gear Clic with Adjustable Marker (FFCLIC)
The Shape Follow Focus Friction & Gear Clic with Adjustable Marker features a reversible gearbox and the unique Shape Lever Clamp System to be attached on the 15mm rods. You can quickly mount the Shape Follow Focus Friction & Gear Clic on the rods by simply locking the lever. It provides precise focus, quick adjustments and great durability.

The Shape Friction & Gear Follow-Focus Clic with Adjustable Marker is designed to attach onto standard 15mm rods of shoulder support rigs or other rigs. It can be easily mounted and dismounted from the rods using the Shape patented Lever Clamp System. Firstly, simply sit the Clic atop the rods, then slide and close the Lever Clamp System underneath the rods and finally the lever locks and holds the Clic securely onto the rods. Once the lever is locked, the focus mechanism stays firmly in place.

Shape 4 x 4" Matte Box (MATT44)
The Shape 2-Stage 4 x 4" Matte Box fits lenses up to 100mm and uses 15mm LWS rods as well as a swing-away support arm which lets you perform quick lens changes without having to remove the Matte Box from your rods. You can adjust the height of the Matte Box with respect to the rods which comes in handy when your lens and rod center heights are slightly off from the standard. Two 360deg. rotatable filter stages support the use of 4x4" filters.

The matte box comes with a top French Flag (eyebrow), two Side Wings featuring a safety hook design, four matte box donuts in 66, 72, 82 and 90mm sizes and elastic donuts.
