SMALLRIG A7 IV/A7 S III/A1 Cage for Sony Alpha 7 IV/Alpha 7 S III/Alpha 1-3667

Title: Robust and Versatile Cage for Sony a7 IV - A Must-Have for Videographer I recently purchased the SmallRig Camera Cage for my Sony a7 IV, and I must say, it has been a game-changer for my videography setup. The build quality of this cage is outstanding – it's made from a sturdy, yet lightweight aluminum alloy that doesn't add unnecessary bulk to my camera. The design is well thought out, providing numerous mounting points for accessories without obstructing any of the camera's functionality. I especially appreciate the various 1/4" and 3/8" threaded holes, as well as the cold shoe mounts, which allow me to attach a range of accessories like microphones, lights, and monitors. Installation is a breeze. The cage fits the Sony a7 IV like a glove, ensuring a secure and stable setup. It does not interfere with the battery compartment or the cable ports, which is crucial for long shooting sessions. Another aspect I love about this cage is the ergonomic grip. It makes handling the camera more comfortable, especially during long shoots. The cage also integrates seamlessly with other SmallRig accessories, making it a versatile part of my camera rig. The only minor drawback is the weight it adds to the camera, but that's a small price to pay for the level of protection and functionality it offers. Overall, the SmallRig Cage for Sony a7 IV is an excellent investment for any videographer looking to enhance their camera's functionality and protection. It's a solid, well-designed product that I highly recommend. 5 out of 5 stars!

Smallrig have always delivered really high quality, professional grade products. Backed by many in the industry, you can believe this will not disappoint. The cage is made of really high quality metal and has some weight to it. If you film video then you know that some added weight always assist with producing smoother footage. Many mounting areas with 1/4” and 3/8” thread and cold shoe mounts. You’ll be able to rig this out to your personal preference with this being such a modular design. There’s rubber padding in key contact points so you rest easy your camera will stay safe within the cage. All input/output areas beside the camera are free of the cage so you are able to easily access them. The battery door below can be access once a small section of the cage is swivelled out the way. Personally I like this as an extra measure to the ensure the battery door will stay closed I’ve seen two versions of this cage. One version, the one I have, has two cold shoe mounts, one at the top right of the camera and one at the top left. The other version is with one cold shoe mount on the top right of the camera, whereas the other side has 1/4” threads instead. Both available in SmallRig official website so both products are authentic. Just something to be aware of when looking to purchase.

I'm a landscape shooter not a video perosn and when I owned a Canon 5D I bought the Manfrotto L-plate mounter, it was OK but it never quite did the trick despite the horrendous price I paid. This cage on the other hand is flipping amazing! I mounted a Sony A7r-V inside, it fit very securely, I can reach all the controls and the number of mount points I now have, plus dummy hotshoe sockets for accesseries like large screens or whatever. You buy an extra tripod head plate, then you simply mount one underneath and one one the left side, instant rotatation whenever without moving the head. As well as having dozens of tripod mount threads all over it also protects the camera from scratches as the cage wraps right around. I cannot understand why anyone can say they can't reach the battery compartment, there's a little arm that swings into place that locks the battery door in place, which stops you accidentally opening the door. If you're serious about your shooting and you find yourself having to constantly tilt the tripod head over at 90 degrees to get from landscape to portraint mode, stop right now and buy this cage today!

Not gonna lie I am a Smallrig fan , and this item is their usual high quality , works very well indeed , think ive mentiend in other reviews i have gorilla sized hands , and these frames work great for me

I think I've tried all of Smallrig's cages compatible with the A7 V now, and this one is my second to top pick haha. It's a great cage, it fit well, installed easily, and it looks pretty sleek. Like all of Smallrig's cages, it seems very solidly built too. The only reason I prefer the 6025 kit (or the cage that comes in it at least) is because that one locks on both sides of the camera, and this one only locks on one side. It still feels pretty secure, but I don't want to take any chances. I think if this had the dual-sided locking like the other, then I'd have chosen this one. That said, for me, this beats the Rhinocerus cage by a comfortable margin because it retains access to the camera's own grip. It's very comfortable in the hand compared to the Rhino, where I felt like I didn't have a fully secure grip on the camera whenever I picked that one up. This cage is good, but if you want something more secure I'd opt for the cage found in the 6025 kit. YMMV with the mounting points, this one is great, but the 6025 kit might also suit you better potentially.

I've been filming clients for ten years and only last week finally invested in a cage. I've always been put off thinking it might add too much weight and bulk (I prefer to work light). However, I have been so pleased with this. Weight, this adds almost nothing to my camera as it's so well machined. It adds a ton of mounting points which are very useful. I purchased a top handle to go with it (also by Smallrig) and it's transformed my shooting style. It handles a 7" monitor (Desview R72) brilliantly on top. Highly recommended and gutted I didn't buy one sooner.

Excellent product, well designed and very secure when in use with its 3 mounting points. 2 shoe mounts is a win, it’s smooth and comfortable around the hand grip, and the nato rail on the LHS as well as screw threads means lots of options for wide handles

I love the design of this gear, all reviews on line show that SmallRig products are of a very high standard and make life so much easier for photographers and videographers alike. :-)

.. pasuje do korpusu, nic więcej nie trzeba.

Fits my a7IV perfectly. The side support is very helpful as well in making it extra secure. Lots of mounting possibilities. The Arri Locating pins are also really helpful for a very secure fit. It's lighter than I expected as well. If you have an a7IV, A7RV, or a7Siii, this is a good option.

1 van de beter cases om voor je A7SIII te hebben. Je kan 2 verschillende hotshoe producten erop doen wat voor mij een plus punt was. En daarnaast nog uitbreiden met een handel of monitor. 1 van de belangrijkste dingen voor mij is dat deze lekker in de hand ligt. Voorheen een gehad van Smallrig waar je last had na dagje shooten, maar deze ligt daarin tegen godelijk in je hand. Dus zeker een aanrader. Ook handige tool erbij waar je schroef aan de onderkant en zijkanten vast kan maken, dit zit onderop met magneet vast.
