Fair price for professional video accessories

My biggest complaint about the separator is that the pieces don't stay straight when screwed in; even the fastening screws loosen and have to be tightened again and again. Otherwise it's functional and gets the job done while staying away from all of the GH5's controls and bays.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Best Cage Available

After spending countless days looking for the perfect camera mount, I decided to build my own as most of the ones I saw were cheap and looked like plastic toys. cage and it fits my Lumix G7 perfectly. The cage is strong and sturdy and can be adjusted in a variety of ways. Order cold shoes to add accessories.

Pros
  • One Year Trial
Cons
  • Skinny

Very good inexpensive cage.

Bought this for my Nikon D5500, works great, holds mic and 7 inch monitor. and the top of the metal) also tend to come loose, the wooden handle feels very dry and rough after a few weeks of regular use, when new it feels smooth and not rough at all. Those two things aside, this is a great little affordable cage. I would recommend it to everyone.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Negative gift

Easy setup with multiple placement options for your .

Simple construction with multiple mounting options. I would suggest buying shoe mounts to utilize more holes in this cage. Also, the grip might need some adjustment as it will loosen up after prolonged use, so you might want to use something to tighten it up better than your fingers can do. I also suggest getting a quick release plate for your camera as it is difficult to remove when you have a cage with all your gear.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Good workmanship but poor packaging and finish

The product appears to be very well made but there were 2 issues that caused me to return the item: 1) The manufacturer packaged the loose cage handle screws in a bubble bag screws scratched the paint on the handle and 2) the wooden handle covered my hands with a yellow stain of wood. As for the finish of the product, I believe it deserves more careful packaging. Other high-end aluminum camera frame manufacturers (like Varavon or even SmallRig) place a high value on quality packaging. I hope…

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Secret

Highly recommended - camera and photo

universal. Suitable for many camera systems, making it a versatile setting to use when purchasing a new camera system. It goes with everything I own from Sony mirrorless systems to the Nikon D750. Excellent build quality. handle well; However, there is little movement with it unless you tighten it very well. There's no Arca Swiss mount on the underside, so you can buy one for a quick release. Small mount cages because of their versatility and because they allow full access to the camera grip so

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something

Great, but be careful with that.

I am very happy with the comfort of this cage. Excellent quality and I really like the wooden handle. BUT PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING: 1) Make sure you order the version that suits your needs. There is a right-handed version and a left-handed version. If your camera already has a right hand grip or grip, you can order a left hand version so you have a grip for each hand. I made the mistake of ordering the first one I saw on Revain and ordered the correct grip version. I had to send…

Pros
  • Side tube length: one 125mm, the other 145mm
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Great little cage for running and shooting

As a professional cinematographer, I can say the following. it's awesome. I use it with my GH4 and it fits very well. There is a small gap between the top of the GH4 and the bottom of the top rail. I like how easy it is to access the card slot, battery compartment, and other inputs. Solid block, machined metal (aluminum?). very well done. Comes with a package of screws, bolts and washers. The cheese board at the top is amazing. The side grip is a great addition and I use it when shooting…

Pros
  • Base Plate Screw Holes: 1/4"-20; Base Plate Mounting Hole: 1/4"-20
Cons
  • Only available in white

Excellent all round camera cage with excellent build quality

The cage is easy to assemble, all parts are very high quality. The wooden handle feels very good and looks very good. I attached the Camvate cage to my Panasonic G85 using the smaller of the two rods that come with the kit. It fits very well and feels very secure. See my pros and cons below: Pros: * Excellent quality. Even if it were twice the price, it would still be good value for money.* Good ergonomics. The cage handles feel nice and durable and offer many different mounting solutions.*…
