This cage is nicely built, increases volume and improves camera ergonomics. It is more convenient to hold with one hand. The cage gives you plenty of options to mount your microphone, lights, or a tripod/gimbal. The battery and SD card are easily accessible even when I attach the quick release plate. The cage makes the camera a bit heavier so it fits perfectly off my old Zhiyun Crane. The only downside is the loss of the ability to turn to the screen and back in a selfie. This allows you to flip the screen easily, but you have to remove the cage, flip the screen forward or backward, and then reattach the cage. Otherwise I recommend this product if you can live with its limitations.
