Used Zacuto Camera Cage for Sony A7R IV Cage

Under the umbrella of high-quality camera accessories, the Sony A7R IV Cage stands out as a compact, lightweight, and feature-rich solution. Designed for seamless compatibility with Sony's A7 and A9 series mirrorless cameras, this robust cage is also compatible with Zacuto's Arca Swiss - the 'Polaris'.

The cage attaches securely to the camera using a provided 1/4 20 screw at the bottom and additional screws at the sides, utilizing the Sony eyelets neck strap connection. This ensures a sturdy and reliable attachment, providing a solid base for mounting additional accessories.

Included with the cage is a Zacuto camera hand strap, designed to offer a secure and comfortable grip on the camera. The cage's design allows for the use of the camera's built-in handgrip, ensuring easy access to all camera controls while keeping the cage's footprint small and lightweight.

The top of the cage is equipped with multiple 1/4 20 mounting points for accessories, along with a built-in Z-Rail for attaching an optional top handle or other accessories. The bottom of the cage features 2 1/4" 20 threads and a 3/8" 16 thread for a tripod plate, along with a built-in Arca Swiss compatible plate. This allows for quick transitions between handheld, shoulder mount, and tripod shooting setups.

For users looking to add rods to their setup, the cage can be slid into the Polaris Baseplate, enabling the construction of a shoulder rig. The cage also includes an optional Side Handle, a rail-compatible wooden handgrip designed for the left side of the cage. This handle offers a balanced grip and smooth vertical movement, and can be mounted on a variety of rail types, including Z-Rail, NATO, SWAT, RED, PICATINNY, and WOODEN CAMERA rails.

The cage also includes an HDMI cable clamp for those using the HDMI output, designed to hold a full-size HDMI cable steady and reduce strain. This clamp can be used independently of the cage, screwing directly into the camera.

Finally, the Zarn, a rail-mounted, wood ball-shaped handgrip inspired by filmmaker Clinton Harn, can be attached to the cage. This grip allows for smooth camera movement and is best utilized with a "ball and socket" technique.

In summary, the Sony A7R IV Cage is a durable, reliable, and high-quality accessory that offers robust protection and versatile mounting options for your Sony mirrorless camera.
