SmallRig Full Camera Cage for Sony Alpha 7 V/Alpha 7R V/Alpha 7 IV/Alpha 7S III/Alpha 7R IV/Alpha 1-3667

Do you need a camera cage? I asked myself this question a lot and I finally answered myself with a yes and made the purchase. It's been on my camera ever since. I think my thoughts at first regarding camera cages were that it would be intrusive and bulky and I would just end up taking it off and not using it. But that is not the case at all. I love having it on my camera and it never comes off. I don't just use it for video either. I leave it on even when I am just taking photos. I mean, the arca swiss bottom gives me the ability to mount it to a tripod whenever I need to. My Sony A7IV also sits flat when I set it down. The normal tripod mounts don't span the entire bottom of the camera so it doesn't sit flat. With this cage, I can set it down flat without worrying about it not sitting level. I love it! The cage is so versatile. I can add a top handle, a side handle, a screen, a portable light, a microphone, there are sooooo many options that having this cage opens for you. I typically have a microphone and my top handle but I could just as easily take the handle off and pop it right on my gimbal as well or right on my tripod. The cage itself is high quality metal and fits the camera well. I like the added protection of having the cage on the camera in the event I accidently dropped the camera. I feel like it adds that extra layer of protection. I also don't mind the little battery door either. I know some people say it's inconvenient but it doesn't bother me to have to move a little metal piece out of the way to swap batteries. It's also very lightweight as well. It doesn't add much in the sense of weight which is nice because I have some pretty heavy lenses and I like to trim off weight wherever I can afford it. I was going to go with a half cage but I’m happy I ended up opting for the full cage. I feel like having the additional side mounting options really increases its versatility. Smallrig makes nice gear and their options are fantastic for their camera cages and attachments for the camera cages. I really like the smallrig ecosystem and am very satisfied with this camera cage.

Great product if you do photography and videography. It will let you attach gear and accessories to your camera, microphones, lights, handles, screens, etc. Very light and efficient.

Used on my Sony a7IV. Easy to fit on camera, very light-weight but incredibly well made. Plenty of 1/4" attachment points, cold shoe and built in Arca-Swiss bottom plate. It both protects and enhances the camera functionality. The little tool that's held magnetically on the bottom is brilliant. Every Small Rig product I own has been put to use and done it's job extremely well. (also have the camera cage wrist strap w/this)

I recently bought the SmallRig Full Camera Cage for my Sony A7 IV, and I'm really happy with it! It's lightweight, yet sturdy enough to handle all of my shoots. I love how easy it is to attach and detach the camera from the cage with just a few screws. The mounting points on the cage are very convenient and allow me to mount whatever accessories I need without taking up too much space. The top handle makes it easy to carry the cage around with me wherever I go, while still providing plenty of protection for the camera body. The extra side and bottom plates provide added stability when shooting handheld or on a tripod. And if I ever need more protection, there are also optional rubber dampeners that can be attached to protect the camera from any bumps or drops. Overall, I am definitely happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this full camera cage for anyone looking for an affordable way to protect their Sony A7 IV from scratches and other damage. It provides excellent protection without adding too much bulk or weight which is great for traveling photographers who want to keep their equipment light but still protected.

Does whatever what I want ut to do. Kind of light weight. Easy to mount comfortable grip. Really recommended.

For beginning videographers (or experienced photographers who use field monitors), this cage is essentially a no-brainer. Solid construction; excellent fit; ok-to-good control access (I wish the top were farther from the movie button); easy to set up; works as designed. Two cold shoes are great. Ok battery access — there’s a moveable bar that must have somehow been unavoidable. I use it all the time I don’t have my battery grip attached, for both photo & video. It’s a good buy, especially during too-rare sales. I also bought a top handle, but it turns out I don’t really need it for the way I’m shooting thus far. The photo shows it w/the handle, a monitor & microphone on a tripod-mounted A7RV + Sigma 100-400mm.

Bought this for my new Sony A7V and it fits perfectly. It adds just enough to the grip for my pinky and the placement for the AirTag is just perfect. I highly recommend!

Love this product. The quality of the product feels good. Ease to install.

I purchased as I was concerned about my accessories being attached on a single mounting screw.. I love that it attaches to the camera all around and screws in, makes it feel very safe and secure. Build quality is good, lots of space for all sorts of setups. The included tools are a good touch as well

Ok

Fits perfectly on my camera. Would recommend 100%

Sin duda es la marca indicada para mi, todo perfecto, la cámara se siente mucho mejor y hay muchos aditamentos que se le pueden sumar.

As you would expect from Smallrig. Affordable and great quality.
