Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Unleash Your Sony Alpha 7C: SmallRig Camera Cage (A7C - ILCE7C) - 3081 by Andy Baker

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bad design. You cannot use the battery door to remove the battery while the camera is in the cage!

The A7C can be safely mounted on this cage, but the buyer should be careful. You didn't make the back of the frame around the camera's battery compartment big enough to open the battery compartment with the camera installed. Can you imagine having to disassemble a camera with a monitor and microphone by the cage just to insert or replace the battery? It was a deal breaker for me. I can't believe Smallrig makes and sells this cage. I am returning the cage for a refund. I don't think anyone has tested its design to work with a camera. I'll have to wait until another company makes a cage that works. I couldn't find an alternative to the A7C camera cage online.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Upgrades

Fits like a glove! But one significant flaw
