SHAPE Cage with DSLR Top Handle for Sony a7R III and a7 III Cameras

Description

The SHAPE Cage with DSLR Top Handle for Sony a7R III and a7 III Cameras is targeted at filmmakers, videographers and photographers who want a simple, hassle-free and ergonomic cage design that really works.

Specifically designed for the Sony A7R III camera, the form-fitting cage offers additional protection and securely locks the camera to the cage. It provides easy access to all controls and ports as well as multiple attachment points for accessories. It also features an ARRI Standard Rosette that can be mounted in four different locations on the cage which is compatible with several world-renowned SHAPE Push-Button Handles such as WL-HAND1, WR-HAND1, HAND1.

For handheld shooting, the side 15mm rod clamps, located at the back of the cage, are designed for quickly securing the new ergonomic 15mm Rod Indexable Mini Push-Button Wooden Side Handles with Padded Straps using a single ratchet knob on each side (sold separately).

The SHAPE Sony A7R III Cage enables easy access to all of the camera’s features such as the control buttons, the side outputs, the memory card, the battery compartment and the lens release button, allowing you to save time while shooting. Further, the support between the lens and the camera grip is designed to anticipate a clearing for the fingers when the camera is handheld, allowing an ergonomic grip. This ergonomic cage is easy to assemble and disassemble. The components don’t need to be removed to install the camera that is fixed with a 1/4"-20 captive slotted base screw integrated into the cage, using the threaded hole underneath it. The position is secured with the back and sides of the cage, so it doesn’t move forward when equipped with a heavier lens. You can also attach a delta adapter plate underneath the cage to mount it on a quick release plate to rapidly switch from a tripod to a handheld setup.

Additionally, all the doors and latches are fully operable when the camera is in the cage. Its easy-to-use and clever design enables you to operate the camera without having to remove the cable doors, and the strap hooks can remain attached to the camera while inserted in the cage. It is also equipped with an effective cable retainer system for all three of the left side cables to secure their use, including the full-sized HDMI cable protector lock to secure the use of your HDMI 4K cable.

By leaving an open access to the cold shoe on top of the camera, you can mount many accessories using several mounting options including two cold shoe mounts located on the top of the cage as well as many SHAPE Standard 1/4"-20 anti-rotating hole patterns, ARRI Standard 3/8"-16 anti-rotating hole patterns and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes. Made from CNC machined aluminum, the cage allows the camera to be held securely in place and restricts it from rotating by being attached with two anti-rotating tabs on the front.

Furthermore, the cage is compatible with the Sony XLR-K2M audio unit, thus providing great sound for your videos.
