This meticulously designed modular cage is crafted to safeguard your camera while offering a multitude of accessory mounting options, making it an essential tool for professional videographers and photographers.

The cage features a robust top plate equipped with a NATO rail, secured firmly with two 1/4"-20 screws. This design allows for easy removal to accommodate the original XLR top handle, ensuring seamless integration with your existing equipment. The L-shaped cage is anchored with a 1/4"-20 screw on the left side and at the bottom, effectively preventing any twisting and protecting your camera with a cushioned surface to avoid scratches.

At the heart of this innovative design is the patented HawkLock quick-release structure, which encompasses the cold shoe, NATO rail, and Arca-Swiss plate. This self-developed system is engineered for use with HawkLock eco-accessories, such as the Top Handle 4483, Side Handle 4485, and Arca-Swiss Clamp 4486. It facilitates smooth sliding and self-locking, significantly enhancing the efficiency of assembling and disassembling your setup. Moreover, it maintains compatibility with traditional cold shoe, NATO Clamp, and Arca-Swiss Clamp eco-accessories, broadening your creative possibilities.

The cage is equipped with an array of built-in mounting options, including 1/4"-20 threaded holes, ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes, 1/4"-20 locating holes, a QD socket, and a strap slot. These features allow for extensive expansion with accessories like the Magic Arm 3873, Top Handle 2165C, Rod Clamp 3598, QD Shoulder Strap, Hand Strap 3848, and Shoulder Strap PSC2428, enabling a fully customized setup for professional-grade content creation.

For added convenience, a magnetic wrench is included, simplifying the assembly and disassembly process. When utilizing the top plate, compatible hot shoe accessories include the Sony ECM-M1 microphone, Sony ECM-B1M microphone, Sony HVL-F32M flash, and DJI Mic 2 Camera Adapter. However, it is important to note that the Sony ECM-W3/W3S and Sony ECM-W2BT microphones are incompatible. Additionally, ensure the top NATO rail is removed before installing the original XLR handle.

The modular NATO rail design ensures unobstructed access to the hot shoe mount, enhancing compatibility for attaching essential accessories like handles and monitors. The half cage offers seamless stabilizer attachment, mounting directly onto the Manfrotto plate on the stabilizer, and features a two-point locking system for stability without deviation.
