Know Your Camera Cages

It's a well built cage. But it didn't fit my 6K Full Frame.

Loving my FX3!!

Absolutely love the autofocus system. Makes it a breeze to switch between manual focus and autofocus when needed. The functionality of the menu is a negative, but if you use the customizable buttons then it becomes an easy flow.

Brilliant little piece of gear!

This thing is built like a tank, and makes my A7iii fit into my hand so much more comfortably. The front/top portion is easily removed with two screws leaving it as basically just an L bracket. I purchased some pistol grip tape and used it on the battery door where my right little finger grips the camera. Strongly recommend this little addition!

Strong and versatile.

This is my second cage from Smallrig. I use this for a small and easy setup. Saying that, even if is a small, have a great capability to rig everything you need on it. I recommend this product 100%. Fit my BMPCC 4K perfectly and is light weight but strong.

Love the Half cage for the Sony A7 III

This is a great cage for the Song camera. It adds contact points for adding accessories while leaving the nice right hand feel of the camera. I use it to add larger external monitor, a handle for secure handling.
