Transform your a7 II series mirrorless camera into a capable video-shooting system with the Cage with 15 mm Rod System from Shape. This model starts with a form-fitting cage that provides multiple attachment points for accessories, a removable, rotatable top handle, and a quick release baseplate system with two 15 mm rods for other videomaking tools. The cage itself retains access to all controls and ports and prevents the camera from rotating. It offers multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads for accessories as well as a cold shoe mount on the top. It is easily mounted to tripods and has an HDMI cable protector lock. Additionally, it has a support bracket for the Metabones EF adapter and is compatible with the Sony XLR-K2M XLR Adapter.

The Shape Quick Handle + Rod Block is a professional video stabilisation accessory with 2 camera handles, each providing an individual rotation angle of 360°. You can attach the handle to the camera platform using a simple screw knob. A simple push button located at the articulation allows easy attachment and removal.

Combined with the anodised aluminium Rod Block, the Quick Handle offers composite camera support for all 15mm rods. You can achieve precise positioning by sliding the Quick Handle along the rods and tightening the small red knob located on the Rod Block. With 2 screw-threaded holes, the Rod Block provides for attachment of components such as the Quick Handle.

The SHAPE Mini Composite Shoulder Pad is a comfort-padded and comfort-shaped shoulder pad for the back of your camera rig. Outfitted with a 15 mm-mount SHAPE Rod Block, the pad attaches right onto a pair of 15mm rods, slides into the best position on them, and tightens in place by a quality lever. It also has a black Screw Knob under which you can add a SHAPE Counter Weight or a SHAPE Back Pad, both optional and both back-supported accessories that work as extensions of the shoulder pad. The Screw Knob's screw is a 1/4"-20 screw. If you remove the Screw Knob, you'll have yourself a 1/4"-20 screw-hole to add various 1/4"-20-mount accessories into.

The Back Pad from SHAPE is a standard rig component included with most SHAPE camera rigs. Its design features a powder-coated anodised aluminium plate and arm which are attached to a thick padding on the side facing the user. The pad is easy to both attach and remove from your rig, and it supports the SHAPE BOX attachment. Additionally, the pad's position can be adjusted to the user's preference– up to 2"(5.08 cm) vertically and 360° horizontally.

These Shape's 15 mm Rods are a pair of 18"(45.7 cm) long rods that fit studio and LWS 15mm rod clamps, allowing you to use available rod mounted accessories. This pair of rods are approximately 18"(45.7 cm) long and machined from hollow aluminium tubes. The rods feature chamfered ends that make it easier to insert into available 15 mm rod clamps.
