SMALLRIG Professional Camera Cage for Canon, Nikon, Sony & Panasonic GH3/GH4 with Battery Grip-1750: A Comprehensive Review & Buying Guide Review

Overall I like this product but there is no good way to mount it for the rails/tripod plate. The lower mounting holes are unfavorably arranged. Good quality and otherwise very pretty.

I wasn't sure if it would work with my E-M1X or not but I ordered it anyway. Works perfectly. I added a handle and two cooling shoes to make a great video system for my E-M1X.

Before buying this cage I tried different models and brands. The cage works well for cameras with battery holder, quick release plate, microphone and LED flashlight. The cage doesn't have a perfect design, but it works very well.

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.

Ordered for a trip to Iceland. It works great with my Fuji XT-2. My cameras have L-shaped RRS plates, so I attached an RRS clamp to the frame. This will reduce the distance between the top and bottom plates by about 1/2 inch. So I tried my Nikon D-800. Fits with no problems. The position of the top and bottom panels can be easily adjusted for greater heights. However, I forgot to bring something to mount an external microphone. Left the cold/hot shoe mount at home. I ended up using zip ties to…

I don't usually write reviews at all. But I thought it worth mentioning that you should be very careful when connecting a Canon 1DX MK II to this unit. I ordered a number of different small gear components and was very satisfied until I decided to pair the CAGE with my shoulder gear baseplate. The two obviously did NOT connect properly and the screw is completely BROKEN. Both the cage and the shoulder gear have just been taken out of the box. NOT GOOD. If I had adjusted the cage all the way…

• Packing: Packed very well with other products. Free shipping with Revain Prime in less than 48 hours. Product: Arrived as expected, disassembled. It looks very strong and sturdy, all parts are metal. Assembling the cage is a bit clunky and I had to adjust the position of the top and bottom plates so I could access the battery compartment on my Canon 5DMKII. In order to change the position of the plates, they must be unscrewed and then screwed back into place, although this is not a difficult…

Let me start by saying that I'm excited about the little camcorder I built for my 5D3. This method of building a custom rig will never be the cheapest or even the best option (in terms of amount of material for your money), but when it comes to getting a rig that perfectly suits your mental abilities. Scheme is the only way. There are other brands that offer components that can be mixed and matched with Smallrig parts and while I don't have much experience with them I know that what I've seen…
