【FORMFITTING FULL CAGE】SmallRig A7S III Cage 2999 maintains access to the camera's controls and hot shoe. Made of premium aluminium alloy, the cage is a solid piece of metal that is highly resistant to oxidation and stands the test of time. 【PERFECT PROTECTION】The cage incorporates an anti-twist design with an M2.5 screw fixed to the strap hole in addition to the 1/4"-20 camera mounting screw so your camera can't move around in the cage. SmallRig Cage 2999 also incorporates an anti-twist design with padding on the base to protect the camera from scratching. 【MULTIPLE MOUNTING POINTS】In addition to one cold shoe mount and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes, this formfitting aluminum cage features several ARRI-style mounts for preventing accessories from twisting when mounted on the cage. It also comes with a built-in NATO rail on the left of the cage. Mounting holes on the front allow mounting a separately available lens adapter 1764. 【RECOMMENDATIONS】The cage is compatible with SmallRig universal accessory system. You can attach SmallRig Wooden Side Handle 2093 for hand-held shooting, and SmallRig Cable Clamp 3000 to protect the HDMI cable and port. ARRI-style mounts on the top and side are provided to attach SmallRig ARRI Locating Handle or SmallRig Ball Head Magic Arm. 【SWEET DESIGN】Lightweight design with only 200g.

This really is the leader among DSLR frames

Exactly how I imagined. The build quality is first class. My A7s3 fits with no issues and it's really intuitive the way it's built. Access to everything you need on the camera. Buy all the bells and whistles to improve my video game now! Do yourself a favor and take this.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • upgrades

unusable. The record button is disabled.

This cage, while nice and snug, is completely useless. The cage blocks the record button. You have to stick your finger back and halfway under the cage to hit the shot. Smallriga's photos make it look like there is a lot of space, but it isn't. Unfortunately completely unusable. First time for a small rig cage, at least for me.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

NO! DO NOT DISCONNECT THE SHOE MOUNT!

One downside: 1) The cage doesn't clear the shoe mount on top which means you can't put anything flat on top. (For example, if you attach a quick release plate to the top and want to hang it, for example, from the top of the mount.) What are those screw holes at the top if the shoe mount is in the way? 2) Complaints about the record button are exaggerated. There seems to be plenty of space to click on it. I wanted to love you, SmallRig. But you broke my heart

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Repair

Perfect frame for A7SIII

Over the years I have used a variety of Sony mirrorless camera frames (wooden, tent, small, new) and this frame is by far one of my favorites. It's lightweight, allows you to add many accessories, and doesn't interfere with the operation of the camera while shooting. The only awkward aspect of this cage is hitting the record button on the SIII. This doesn't block the ability to press the button, but it does give you the ability to reach for a small piece of the mount to press the button. That…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Perfect frame for A7SIII

Over the years I have used a variety of Sony mirrorless camera frames (wooden, tent, compact, new) and this frame is by far one of my favourites. It's lightweight, allows you to add many accessories, and doesn't interfere with the operation of the camera while shooting. The only awkward aspect of this cage is hitting the record button on the SIII. This doesn't block the ability to press the button, but it does give you the ability to reach for a small piece of the mount to press the button…

Pros
  • Professional video accessories
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great concept.

In normal weather I liked this camera cage. but with gloves in cold weather I could never reach the mode dial ie 1/2/3/movie mode so I ended up switching to a more conventional L-clamp. I'm still trying this SmallRig design as I love the concept and need something similar to hang my Atomos Ninja V when using the digital mic on the Sony a7s-m3. I don't know what SmallRig could do for cold weather and people with large gloved hands. So I don't blame them. My other wish is that the bottom of the…

Pros
  • Stabilizers
Cons
  • Only available in black

Nice streamlined very light cage for A7Siii

I have tried several cages and this one is almost perfect for me. My goal was to protect the camera and attach a limited number of accessories without turning my small and light DSLR camcorder into a "Frankencell" monster. The right side has the trigger and it's comfortable for my hand. There are well-placed 1/4" holes that fit the small 3082 grip that holds the Sony K3 audio adapter. The kit also includes a small screw that goes through the top right hole of the camera strap and attaches to…

Pros
  • camera and photo
Cons
  • you could choose a newer model
