The Zacuto Basic Cage for Panasonic GH5/GH5S/GH5 II is our “no-cage” cage - lightweight and compact, and compatible with Zacuto's own Arca Swiss- The 'Polaris'. It packs in a ton of features! The GH5 Cage screws into the bottom of the camera with a provided ¼ 20 screw. It also attaches to the sides of the camera, using the Panasonic eyelets neck strap connection with provided screws. It includes a Zacuto camera hand strap for a secure and comfortable grip on the camera. The cage ends at the eyelet neck strap connection, allowing you to use the camera's built in handgrip, keeping the cage small and light and have easy access to all camera controls.
The top of the cage includes numerous 1/4"-20 for mounting accessories. It also has a built-in Z-Rail for mounting an optional top handle or other accessories. The bottom of the cage has 2 1/4"-20 threads and a 3/8" 16 thread for a tripod plate and a built-in Arca Swiss compatible plate to mount to any Arca Swiss compatible quick release mounting base or Zacuto's own Polaris Mounting Plate. This allows you to move quickly from handheld, to shoulder mount, to tripod shooting.
If you’d like to add rods onto your cage, you can slide the cage into our Polaris Baseplate and from there you can also build a shoulder rig.
