A robust, versatile and ergonomic cage

The core of this kit is an aluminum cage with several professional mounting points, including:

• Two cold shoe prongs, a wrist strap slot, and a QD (Quick Detach) strap
• An integrated Arca-type plate for quick mounting on a gimbal or tripod

Professional compatibility and maximum mobility

Thanks to its Arca-type mounting plate with 1/4-20 screws, the cage allows for a seamless transition between mobile and fixed setups, while ensuring stable camera mounting. Its robust design, constructed from aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and silicone, guarantees increased durability for intensive shooting.

Practical use cases
