Seems good enough for my needs. 6+ inches tall is enough for my Canon DSLR Rebel with the battery socket mounted underneath. The top plate of the cage is designed to fit the camera's top shoe, but it doesn't fit my camera. It is also NOT included. Use an appropriately sized hex wrench to tighten or loosen the upper mounting shoe screws so that they slide and make noise when you move the camera. Otherwise it's fine. Keep shopping if the above is a problem.
