Fluid head gap

Great product, the only thing that got in the way was the gap between the fluid head and the cage. The follow focus and matbox rods need some height for you to insert them into the liquid head, otherwise they will get stuck. Easy attachment with optional quick release plate

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Great price

It's a battle tank!

Camerar is a great company, I have had a few of their products but this one stands out! Really good hardware, great build quality, like other Kamerar products, you might have trouble removing the battery (I didn't have one, but I have a 5DMKIII, the reference model for this design) so keep that in mind.

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Compatibility

I see some complaints that the Canon 70d doesn't line up.

I see some complaints about Canon 70d not being properly aligned when assembled with Matte Box and Tk3 tank. I have two questions. (1) do you build with or without a battery grip to compensate for the difference in height (2) which shoulder setup do you use with the PR1 Prime P&C or the CAMERA SOCOM?

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • useless features

Attention Canon 70D owners.

I have a TK-3 cage with a handle and a pole. Very beautiful and durable. But when you added the matte box I found my Canon 70D didn't work together. The Canon 70D sets the cage mount low and doesn't center the matte box, and the underside of the matte box obscures the view of the lens. I had to modify and purchase an additional camera tripod mount and plate to get it working. So the moral of the story is, make sure your camera works before you buy it.

Pros
  • So far everything seems to be
Cons
  • Equipment Sad

Great camera and photo cage

As with all new beginnings you never know what the 'fair' price for tools etc is. I was a bit put off by the price close to 200 but I'm glad I got one High quality all metal cages not mostly metal from the same company. I removed the rear left bar to fully reveal the d5300's screen. I also have 2 Tascam dr 60ds that I mount on top of the frame (and an NTG-2). I installed the top handle on the right side (facing down) to hold the cage at a slightly different angle. I have no doubts about the…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Security
