Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Gregory R : More ergonomic than just the L bracket by itself. Can be configured as nearly a full cage, or just an L bracket.Douglas C : It fits my needs...new camera, needs protection and tripod mount.BRET R : Extends the grip on my A7III, smaller than a battery grip. Will work for both video and still photos.Jordan M : The biggest drawback to the small size of the A7iii and other similarly sized Sony mirrorless cameras is the non-ergonomic grip. Based on lots of research (way too many YouTube videos), it appears this cage is the best solution. The front of the cage can be easily removed, essentially leaving you with a nice L-plate, which gives you something for your right pinky to grip on to. And if you shoot a lot of video, then the front cage can be added back on to open you up to a whole world of setups.LaShawnda J : I want to start doing video content. Need a set up to add mic, flash and monitor.MATT W : I need an Arca mount for my camera and I liked the added supports on the detachable top frame. I don’t plan to use the top frame all the time, so I like that I can remove it when not needed.HECTOR THOMAS G : I choose this Smallrig Half cage with Arca L bracket for Sony A7iii because according to reviews this fits the Sony A7iii perfectly. And only Adorama, a reputable seller offers this model as of this time, aside from SmallRig. Thank you.Morris W : I bought small rig cage to use with my Sony A7Riii for video.WILLIAM M : I needed a finger grip. The added L bracket and top is great for protection and video work

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!

Fits great!

Works great! It fits the camera perfectly and isn’t too bulky. Easy to balance on a gimbal as well.

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.

SmallRig Half Cage with Arca L-Bracket for Sony A7III A7RIII 2236 is an innovative product combining features of a cage and a L-Bracket, which meets the needs of hybrid shooters. Both the side plate and base plate is of Arca-Swiss standard allowing quick switch between horizontal and vertical orientation shooting. The base plate extends 20mm in height and fits the camera body perfectly, ensuring it is comfortable to hold for hand-held shooting.

The side plate can be extended to left by 24.5mm if you need more room for tethering or cable release. Attach SmallRig HDMI Cable Clamp 2259 if you need to protect your HDMI cable and port. On the top are multiple 1/4''-20 and 3/8''-16 holes and Arri locating holes, so you can mount SmallRig Top Handle 2165 and SmallRig Ball Head Magic Arm 2115 to shoot videos.
