All cameras, no problems: the Halo Universal Advanced Kit is our latest and greatest camera cage – designed to work with any and every camera system. From the Halo’s bespoke design suitable for any camera body to the Create Baseplate’s multi-standard dovetail channel, the Halo Advanced Kit offers end-to-end compatibility for seamless shooting.
A Lifetime of Compatibility
With the Halo Universal Camera Cage, any camera can be set up for rigging in moments. The Halo forms a square around the camera body, striking a balance between clearance for large cameras and a compact form factor. You can use any camera (though smaller cameras may need to be elevated with our quick-release Riser that can be found in the Universal Base Kit for Small Cameras).
Dovetail Design
Complete the cage with our Universal Dovetail, which mounts via the included 15mm LWS Rod Bracket to form a base for any camera. The Dovetail is the only one of its kind to have dual compatibility with Manfrotto tripods and DJI gimbals, allowing you to seamlessly transition from mount to mount.
Get Creative
The Advanced Kit also features our Create Baseplate: the perfect mounting point for your setup. With 1/4" and 3/8” screw threads in the base and a multi-standard dovetail receiver on top, the Baseplate perfectly complements the Universal Dovetail for easy static mounting. The upper and lower dovetail channels make the Baseplate compatible with Arca, DJI and Manfrotto dovetail plates; further expanding the definition of “Universal”.
Clean Rigging
Wrapping around your camera body, the Halo offers a huge range of accessory mounting points for you to use. Along with industry-standard screw threads (1/4” and 3/8”), the Halo also offers MAP and QD sockets, a cold shoe mount and NATO rails. Able to take up to 10kg of load without flexing, you have huge scope for accessorising your rig.
Convenient Carrying
For handheld shooting, the Halo Advanced Kit comes with a low-profile Short Create Top Handle which mounts to the top of the cage via the integrated NATO rail. The handle has a small mechanism that clicks into place when exactly centred, optimising the balance for transporting the camera.
By Filmmakers, For Filmmakers
The Halo Universal Advanced Kit makes professional camera setups more accessible. You don’t need a dozen different Hex Keys or a batch of dedicated risers or spacers: everything fits together cleanly and efficiently onto 15mm support rods – which are included in the Kit.
Built to Last
Our Halo Kits are designed and engineered to the highest standards of quality, making them long-lasting camera rigging solutions. Our Drumstix are made from a durable structural alloy with extendable ends, and the rest of the kit is made from aerospace-grade anodised aluminium. Lightweight yet still resistant to wear-and-tear and rough treatment, the Halo Advanced Kit will be a constant companion in your filmmaking journey.
Compatibility
The Halo Universal Base Kit is compatible with any camera system. Smaller cameras, where the distance between the lens mount and the base of the camera is shorter, may require additional height clearance – which can be provided in the optional Arca Riser and Arca Receiver.
Part of the Halo System
The Halo is our best universal camera cage: offering total freedom and scope for customisation in a single package. Ideal for filmmakers with constantly changing setups, the Halo provides a consistent starting point for any camera and any rig.
