Description

Specifically designed for the Sony A7R III camera, the form-fitting SHAPE Sony A7R III 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.

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.

The SHAPE Sony A7R III Cage provides a 15mm Rod Clamp on both sides, allowing convenient positioning of the Horizontal 15mm Rods on each side of the cage. For handheld shooting, the side 15mm rod clamps, located at the back of the cage, are designed for quickly securing the new ergonomic Mini Push-Button Wooden Side Handles with Padded Straps using a single ratchet knob on each side (sold separately).

The new ergonomic and easily removable SHAPE Top Handle offers a comfortable and secure wooden grip for carrying your camera and securing accessories. It also features the SHAPE Push-Button Technology, enabling you to balance the weight and rotate the handle in the position you need on a 360° axis. This nicely crafted Top Handle provides multiple mounting options, including ARRI Standard 3/8"-16 anti-rotating hole patterns on the top, SHAPE Standard 1/4"-20 anti-rotating hole patterns on the top and side, cold shoe mounts, and a 3/8"-16 UNC threaded hole at the front. It also features the SHAPE Rod Clamp Holder positioning system at the front, allowing you to directly mount a 15mm rod onto the handle.

The cage can easily snap in and be quickly removed from its 15mm LW base by pressing the release button at the rear of the mount for handheld shooting. The cage is connected to its base via the new SHAPE Quick Release Delta Rod Base System using a specifically designed 15mm rod bloc system for the optical center of the Sony A7R III camera. It allows quick mounting and dismounting of the camera.

SHAPE created a removable Metabones Adapter Support Bracket specifically designed for the Sony A7R III camera that is integrated in the cage. Fixed with 2 screws, the bracket’s height is easily adjustable and provides 15mm of vertical adjustment. It supports the weight and reduces the stress on the camera lens mount. When there is no Metabones Adapter, simply unscrew the 1/4"-20 screw to quickly remove the bracket.

The 15mm Rods are a pair of 18"-long rods that fit studio and LWS 15mm rod clamps, allowing you to use available rod mounted accessories. The rods are machined from hollow aluminum tubes and feature chamfered ends.

You can achieve precise positioning by sliding the SHAPE Quick Handle Rod Bloc along the rods and secure the handles by tightening the single red knob on the Rod Bloc. Compatible with all 15mm rod systems, the SHAPE Quick Handle Rod Bloc can be attached at the front of any type of camera support. All CNC machined, high-quality aircraft grade aluminum parts are hard anodized for a resistant finish and assembled with stainless steel screws to prevent rusting. It also features a stainless steel locking mechanism for more durability.

The SHAPE Mini Composite Shoulder Pad is the perfect solution for switching rapidly from the SHAPE camera rig to tripod without having to remove it. Cushioned for your comfort, the Shoulder Pad rests on your shoulder, and can remain on the camera rig permanently. This way, your body supports the weight of the camera and its accessories.
