Exactly What it Says on the Box

I ordered this cage specifically for its quick-release plate because I often need to free my BMPCC 6k so that I can then attach it to my gimbal. So far, I have nothing bad to say about the QR Half Cage. The locking latch is easy to access without being obtrusive. The safety pin for the plate can be troublesome when I do want to remove the plate, but it is sturdy. Overall, I feel confident it will keep my camera secure.
