The cage provides a durable mounting frame for both the camera and accessories. Its 3/4 design offers accessory mounting holes on both the side and top of the camera, while leaving access to the camera grip open for easy control and handheld operation. To keep weight down and maintain a low profile, the cage includes an ultra-thin baseplate that is ideal for working with gimbals and drones. A T-riser baseplate is included for when you need to construct a larger rig, and attaches directly to the ultra-thin baseplate. The T-riser works in combination with optional accessories to support Metabones and P+S Technik IMS lens mount adapters.
