SmallRig A7 IV/A7R IV/A7 S III/A 1 Cage for Sony Alpha 7 IV/Alpha 7 S III/Alpha 1/Alpha 7R IV - 3667

Do you need a camera cage? I asked myself this question a lot and I finally answered myself with a yes and made the purchase. It's been on my camera ever since. I think my thoughts at first regarding camera cages were that it would be intrusive and bulky and I would just end up taking it off and not using it. But that is not the case at all. I love having it on my camera and it never comes off. I don't just use it for video either. I leave it on even when I am just taking photos. I mean, the arca swiss bottom gives me the ability to mount it to a tripod whenever I need to. My Sony A7IV also sits flat when I set it down. The normal tripod mounts don't span the entire bottom of the camera so it doesn't sit flat. With this cage, I can set it down flat without worrying about it not sitting level. I love it! The cage is so versatile. I can add a top handle, a side handle, a screen, a portable light, a microphone, there are sooooo many options that having this cage opens for you. I typically have a microphone and my top handle but I could just as easily take the handle off and pop it right on my gimbal as well or right on my tripod. The cage itself is high quality metal and fits the camera well. I like the added protection of having the cage on the camera in the event I accidently dropped the camera. I feel like it adds that extra layer of protection. I also don't mind the little battery door either. I know some people say it's inconvenient but it doesn't bother me to have to move a little metal piece out of the way to swap batteries. It's also very lightweight as well. It doesn't add much in the sense of weight which is nice because I have some pretty heavy lenses and I like to trim off weight wherever I can afford it. I was going to go with a half cage but I’m happy I ended up opting for the full cage. I feel like having the additional side mounting options really increases its versatility. Smallrig makes nice gear and their options are fantastic for their camera cages and attachments for the camera cages. I really like the smallrig ecosystem and am very satisfied with this camera cage.

I purchased this to attach more bits and bobs to my camera such as external monitor, microphones, mobile holders etc and it works great for all that! Fits my Sony A7IV and A7III both. Has so many holes for different attachements and also hotshoe mounts on both sides. Very strong and adds a bit of weight, but not overly heavy. Highly recommend 🙌🏽

This is really sturdy and comes with a tool that sits in the bottom and magnetic. Easy to install. Someone said you can’t open the battery at the bottom but it has a hinged part you just open and then open the battery. Pretty comfortable to hold.

Sin duda es la marca indicada para mi, todo perfecto, la cámara se siente mucho mejor y hay muchos aditamentos que se le pueden sumar.

I purchased as I was concerned about my accessories being attached on a single mounting screw.. I love that it attaches to the camera all around and screws in, makes it feel very safe and secure. Build quality is good, lots of space for all sorts of setups. The included tools are a good touch as well
