best cage on stabilizers

I like this cage, it holds the camera very well and provides extra protection for the camera. It provides access to all buttons and ports, as well as the battery compartment. nothing interferes and allows for so many attachments and modifications.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Reliability

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty well built thing.

Expensive (especially with add-ons) but definitely durable. I have a third party battery grip and was a little worried it wouldn't fit, but as you can see in the picture there is still plenty of room. I am very happy with this purchase!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Useless features

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fits perfectly with perfect distance between camera and cage.

The quality is very reliable. Nicely finished cars. Smooth metal, no sharp edges. Fits like a glove, better than a cage with no handle. The heavy weight is not noticeable. The perfect distance between the cage and the camera that leaves no traces on the camera.

Pros
  • Noble design
Cons
  • Transparency

It's ok but could use some improvement

I bought this to use on my A7III with battery grip. or have it in my monopod. I have to remove the tripod plate to tighten it again. It's a bit annoying. but I like the cage to place LED lights and a microphone.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power

Now I understand what mania is. Just buy it.

I never understood what the use of camera frames was all about. UNTIL I started learning how to make videos. I started using my cameras for photography only, but I'm slowly transitioning to video as most clients are starting to be interested in videos as well as images. Therefore, when I bought additional accessories, I noticed that all these accessories do not fit my camera because it only has one hot shoe. This also includes small rigs. The more I researched, the more I discovered that video…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Obsolete

Almost perfect, but I hope you hear Small Rig.

This frame is for a Sony A7 camera with the battery grip attached (Sony or 3rd party). I use this larger body for a better grip area, the ability to shoot vertically easily, and longer battery life. I use the A7 III in this configuration for photo and video work. The cage is a bit boxy, but you won't find many options when using a battery grip in your build. I think I've only come across 3 manufacturers including this one before moving on to larger, bulkier and more versatile frame cages. This…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
