Well built cage, has plenty of mounting points for a field monitor, side handle, quick release plates etc. The frame adds a little weight but not much. . The extra material on the handle is much appreciated, I finally feel like I can hold this S5 comfortably. The only thing I would note is that getting the camera out of the cage is not as easy as I would like (if you want as little weight as possible) due to the extra mounting screw that goes through the right camera strap mount want to use). ). ). However, the screw provides more stability between the chamber and the cage. Just consider your use case, if you plan on taking the camera out of the cage a lot, maybe look at other options. Otherwise very happy with this purchase!
