High quality rig cage but a little bulky and heavy

Like all Smallrig products, this cage is meticulously crafted from high quality components. Unfortunately, this made the camera too heavy compared to the previous cages I've had on other cameras.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • High price

Great case fits perfectly

I really like this case, it fits perfectly and offers great protection. the C1 and C2 buttons are a little harder to reach, but not very difficult or a little harder. All ports and buttons are accessible. The only downside I found (but maybe I just don't know where/how it attaches to the cage) is not being able to find where to attach the neck strap at the top.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Everything is fine

The method costs money!

I like the reinforced handle, this cage offers not to mention additional mounting options and to a lesser extent additional protection of the structure.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Quality

Offers many features at negligible ergonomic cost

My use case for this cage is probably a little different than most as I only use it for photography and not video and it's still useful for that purpose. The extra threads essentially make it a giant L-Bracket and you have 4 extra spots to use for a mounting strap. It can also provide basic protection for your camera body. And for left-handers, it gives you extra grip. The biggest (and so far only) shortcoming is that the C2 and C3 keys are now partially covered. You can still reach them, but…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
