Introducing the Tilta Camera Cage (Power Kit) for Nikon ZR
The Tilta Camera Cage (Power Kit) for Nikon ZR is an advanced solution for demanding shooting setups requiring extended power for the camera and accessories. Custom-designed for the Nikon ZR body, this kit combines mechanical protection, professional modularity, and power management via V-Mount.
General and essential features
The Tilta Camera Cage (Power Kit) for Nikon ZR is based on a Full Camera Cage, providing enhanced protection for the camera body while serving as a central platform for integrating accessories and power solutions. The cage precisely conforms to the camera’s shape to ensure stability and ergonomics in all types of setups.
Mounting options are expanded thanks to 1/4-20 threads with locating points, 3/8-16 threads via adapter, M3 threads , and a cold shoe receiver. These interfaces allow for the secure installation of monitors, audio systems, handles, or transmission modules.
Two additional contact points enhance the stability of the housing within the cage. A safety catch located on the upper left anchors into the camera strap attachment, while a lower locating pin limits any rotation around the 1/4-20 mounting screw.
The modular design allows the full cage to be transformed into a half cage in L-Bracket format. This configuration reduces the overall weight of the setup, making it ideal for use on a gimbal or for shoots requiring high mobility.
A cable clamp is included to securely attach the USB-C and Micro HDMI. thumb screws allow for quick and reliable adjustment, even under demanding shooting conditions.
This Power Kit integrates an Adjustable ARCA Receiver with a Mini PD Battery Plate, offering a lightweight and innovative solution for mounting a drum kit without the need for a traditional baseplate or 15mm tubes. This system optimizes compactness while maintaining great configuration flexibility.
The ARCA receiver is extendable, allowing you to adjust the distance between the battery and the housing. A swiveling hinge also allows the battery angle to be adjusted up to 180 degrees, making it easier to balance the rig and access the camera controls.
The Mini PD Battery Plate powers the camera and accessories using high-capacity V-Mount. It offers several professional power outputs, including a 60W USB-C PD, a P-Tap , and a 2-Pin Lemo connection. The P-Tap and 2-Pin Lemo ports deliver 20V /3A.
Integrated strap slots allow you to secure the V-Mount battery using the included strap, greatly reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. The battery plate also features 1/4-20 and M4 threads on its top, allowing for alternative mounting options using adapters or articulated arms.
