Review on πŸŽ₯ TILTA TA-T01-B-G-2 BMPCC 4K / BMPCC 6K Cage Rig with Half Sunhood (Basic 2 Kit) – Enhance Your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K / 6K Filming Experience by Tania Mendoza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for 6K and without any modifications or extra work.

When the BMPCC 6K was first released and Tilta promised this cage would fit, many customers clearly encountered installation issues and had to make modifications to avoid damage to their cameras. Even the listing on Revain included specific instructions on how to remove the Tilta badge before attaching the cage to the camera. None of this was required for my BMPCC6K - the camera just stood perfectly and screwed all the way up and down. I got the Smallrig version first (it was actually "free" with my camera) and Tilta looked better enough to justify paying for a second cage. And I was right. There is nothing wrong with the Smallrig and I have a ton of different attachments and parts that I like. But of course the Tilta is bigger, fits better and offers a wide range of thoughtful features typical of BMPCCxK cameras. I rarely use the lens hood as I find it covers the screen too much when shooting from low angles. (Maybe my knees and back are just getting old?!), but I appreciate what it is. For this reason, I leave the SSD bracket attached on the left, which works great but takes up space that could otherwise be useful, including the cold shoe slot cover. I also wish the bottom was "flatter" (lower profile) rather than incorporating the somewhat cumbersome dovetail add-on for Tilta's own QR system. I don't need a lateral QD (like Tilta's design, the camera moves left to right in a dovetail pattern) - I prefer to always have a Manfrotto compatible tripod plate, as well as my shoulder rig, gimbal and of course, tripods. , all designed around this plate. I think Smallrig's design is lighter and more minimalist. But the cable management/protection, awesome quick release top handle, and other custom accessories (like the sun visor) are what I like more about the Tilta system.

Pros
  • This cage is ideal for BMPCC 4K and BMPCC 6K. If the customer didn't install the 90 degree HDMI adapter and USB-C cable correctly, please contact us for the installation video guide. Good condition but needs installation instructions.
