Review Summary

The packaging was convenient with screws placed in with its corresponding part, though a couple of screws were missing. The top plate, in my opinion, is too large and clunky adding unnecessary weight and is not the best looking appearance wise. The red tightening knob is a hair too long and hits the top of the tripod head. Yes, it has the pull out then turn option, but it's a pain. The best part is the HDMI cord protection attachment. In conclusion, this is one of the only cage options with a rod mount that's available right now, so if you need one, it's very worth it.

From the professional filmmaker to the passionate videographer, the Cage with 15mm LW Rod System for Panasonic Lumix S1/S1R Cameras is a must-have accessory. Specifically engineered for the Panasonic Lumix S1R/S1 models, this cage offers a seamless blend of protection, accessibility, and customization.
The cage's form-fitting design securely locks the camera in place, providing an additional layer of protection without compromising access to controls, ports, and attachment points. This means you can easily reach all the camera's features, including control buttons, side outputs, memory card, battery compartment, and lens release button, saving you precious time during shoots.
The cage's ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, even during handheld shooting. This is achieved through a specially designed support between the lens and the camera grip, which provides ample space for your fingers.
Installation is a breeze with the integrated 1/4-20 screw and the 1/4-20 Allen key, which is conveniently secured under the cage with magnets. The cage's bottom offers multiple threaded holes for quick release tripod plate attachment, ensuring stability even with heavier lenses.
For those who frequently switch between tripod and handheld setups, the cage is compatible with a delta plate adapter. This allows for rapid mounting and dismounting without compromising the operability of doors and latches.
The cage also features an effective cable retainer system for all three left side cables, ensuring secure use. It is also compatible with a full-sized HDMI cable protector lock, safeguarding your 4K HDMI cable during use.
The cage's open access to the hot shoe on top of the camera allows for the installation of the Panasonic audio unit. With multiple mounting options, including a cold shoe mount, Arri Standard 3/8"-16 anti-rotating hole pattern, and 1/4-20 threaded mounting holes, you can easily attach a variety of accessories.
Constructed from CNC machined aluminum, the cage ensures your camera is held securely in place, preventing rotation with two anti-rotating tabs at the front.
The cage is connected to its base via the new Shape Quick Release Rod Base System, using a specially designed 15mm rod bloc system for the optical center of the Panasonic Lumix S1R/S1 camera. This allows for quick mounting and dismounting of the camera, making it ideal for handheld shooting.
The cage also includes a pair of Shape 15mm 10" Aluminum Rods, perfect for extending your camera rig and adding various Shape and third-party accessories compatible with 15mm rods.
Changing the lens or adding a Metabones Adapter can be done easily while keeping the camera in the cage. The cage features a removable Metabones Adapter Support Bracket, designed to support the weight and reduce the stress on the camera lens mount.
The cage also comes with an ergonomic and easily removable Shape Top Handle, designed to provide the required space for mounting the Panasonic Lumix S1R/S1 Audio Unit. It offers a comfortable and secure wooden grip for carrying your camera and securing accessories.
The handle features the Shape Push-Button Technology, enabling you to balance the weight and rotate the handle in the position you need for a 360-degree axis. This technology allows for quick and easy adjustment, making it a favorite among professionals in the industry.
The 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.
The Shape Rod Clamp at the front can be added, allowing you to directly mount a 15mm rod onto the handle. Made of CNC Aluminum, the 15mm LW Clamp can be easily attached to the 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 Shape Top Handle and (2) cold shoe mounts, one at the front of the handle and one at the back.
In summary, the Cage with 15mm LW Rod System for Panasonic Lumix S1/S1R Cameras is a versatile and essential accessory for any Panasonic Lumix S1R/S1 user, offering protection, accessibility, and customization in one sleek package.
