The SmallRig 6031 Advanced "Rhinoceros" Cage Kit for Sony Alpha 7 V / 7R V / 7 IV is expertly designed to reduce strain and enhance stability during handheld shooting while offering extensive expansion options. The kit includes a "Rhinoceros" cage, a "Rhinoceros" top handle, a "Rhinoceros" side handle, and a clamp for HDMI cable. Constructed from carbon fiber, the cage and handles are exceptionally lightweight and portable—ideal for prolonged handheld use.
The cage features a three-point locking system, which includes a bottom locating pin, a 1/4"-20 screw, and an M2.5 screw on the left side, ensuring secure mounting without deflection. Its sleek, streamlined design guarantees unobstructed access to all top-panel camera controls for seamless operation. The top handle provides a comfortable grip, facilitating easy transport, low-angle maneuvering, and fluid camera movement. The side handle combines a carbon fiber frame with a tactile leather coating, ensuring a lightweight, comfortable, and stable dual-handheld operation.
With multiple mounting points—including 1/4"-20 threaded holes, ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes, cold shoe mounts, a NATO rail, and a QD socket—the cage allows for easy attachment of handles, microphones (compatible with DJI Mic 2), lights, monitors, and other accessories.
The integrated Arca-Swiss quick release plate at the bottom allows for seamless transitions between handheld, tripod, and gimbal setups (compatible with Arca-type tripods and DJI RS 2 / RSC 2 / RS 3 Mini / RS 3 / RS 3 Pro / RS 4 Mini / RS 4 / RS 4 Pro gimbals).
Additionally, a hinged door at the battery compartment adds grip support for the little finger, while the included c lamp for HDMI c able secures the cable for stable data transmission.
Note:
Before installing the clamp for HDMI cable, open the camera’s HDMI port cover.
The clamp for HDMI cable interferes with the interface of the synchronous terminal when used on the Sony Alpha 7R V camera.
