I used half of the cage I assembled from SmallRig parts. I had a tall support bar so I could raise the top panel. This allowed me to use the quick release plate on the camera, as I often took it out of the cage to take pictures. However, I now have a separate camera so the GH5 can stay in the cage at all times. It's strong, well made and surprisingly light. I also have a wooden grip on one side and I added a nato plate on top so I can add and remove a top grip for low angle handheld shooting. Overall, I find SmallRig's products to be excellent and value for money.
