I use this with a pixel 4 in a heavy case and it holds it perfectly, even holds the side buttons and doesn't press them. I also have a flashlight and microphone to use in cold shoes, they hold up well. There's no cable management, so I use a rubber malt straw to route the mic cable inside the grip. This cage is light and comfortable to hold. If desired, handles can be attached. Very simple and easy to use, durable.
