📷 CAMVATE Universal Basic Camera Cage Rig - Top Handle Included for Enhanced Versatility Review

Good for my D5100 for low angle sports photography. The lens (18-55mm) fits snugly to the cage. Wider lenses may not fit without spacers.

This setup is very well done. I use it with a Sony Alpha camera with an APS sensor to shoot mostly high school football games. It is mounted on a carbon fiber tripod with a 5 inch monitor and works very well. For the money it can't be better. It's not meant for big cameras, so keep that in mind. I highly recommend it.

As far as I know they are made for 35mm cameras but they also work with the Canon Vixia HF G50 camcorder. The hot shoe attaches to the top of the camera in the same manner as the 35mm lens to provide a more ribbed mount for attaching accessories such as microphones, video lights and field monitors. I buy a pen to grab something else while holding the camera.

Almost perfect cage! If only there were 1/4-20 holes in the top bar of the cage. The grip is great. I bought two of these to outfit my GH5 and GH5S. UPDATE: One of the best cages you can get. The price is amazing, it's very modular so you can add things and make it work. This is one of the best cages you can get. Skip the multi hundred dollar cells. This will get the job done.

My first original order was missing a screw. I contacted customer service and they removed me asap. The agent (RAIN) was very helpful and I (as a customer service manager) definitely appreciated RAIN's attention and offered 2 profitable options. She asked me if I would like to return for a refund or if I would like a replacement. I needed a performance kit so I told her I didn't want to sell it for a refund. Because of the price she said she would issue another install and I do NOT need to…

Since most cameras only have a hot shoe mount, it can be difficult to attach all the necessary accessories to the camera. This is where the basic Camvate camera cage comes in. It fits all consumer digital cameras and opens up many options for attaching accessories. With over 40 different 1/4 and 3/8 threads, you'll never run out of room to add extras to your camera. And the most impressive feature of all? It's only $40! I love this product and have reviewed it extensively on my YouTube channel…

I use a GH5 with a battery grip. Note that I "upgraded" my rig with a longer stem to accommodate a larger camera - this will not work with the GH5/battery grip in the stock configuration. The beauty of this setup is that it's so "minimal" that you have the flexibility to expand without breaking the bank. Other installations require a more custom fit. I personally find the configuration solid enough that I trust my camera in this setup. I'm also more of a mechanical person and know how to put a…

So at first I was hesitant to buy this product as there were no reviews and the price seemed much lower. The cage came in excellent packaging, with a separate handle and the letter C. The bracket is assembled with an extra screw. The cage is light and feels solid. Lots of mounting options, which is nice. I put it on my gh5 and attached some pics. It feels tight at the moment so I'm hoping the bolts stay the same but time will tell. I haven't used it for movies yet. I am concerned about the…
