SmallRig Basic Cage Kit for Select Sony Alpha Series Cameras 3668B

The SmallRig Full Camera Cage for select Sony Alpha cameras—including the Sony a1, a7 IV, a7R IV and V, and a7S III—is highly regarded for its robust design, custom fit, and versatility for both video and photography setups. The cage is precision-built from aluminum alloy and stainless steel, resulting in a lightweight yet durable accessory that significantly enhances camera protection without obstructing access to any ports, dials, or battery compartment thanks to its clever hinged arm feature.​

Key Features

• All-Round Protection: Custom spacers and rubber padding on the inside of the cage prevent scratches to your camera body. Two locking side plates with M2.5 screws secure your camera in place and can be swapped depending on your camera model for an exact fit.​

• Unhindered Access: The cage’s design maintains full access to your camera’s buttons, battery door, hot shoe, memory card slot, and all ports even when fully rigged.​​

• Mounting Options:

  • Multiple 1/4″-20 threads and ARRI 3/8″-16 anti-rotation threads provide ample real estate for mounting accessories like microphones, monitors, arms, or follow focus units.

  • Two cold shoe mounts, one integrated NATO side rail, and strap slots allow configuration for lights, transmitters, hand straps, or side handles.​

• Tripod and Stabilizer Ready: Includes a built-in Arca-type quick release plate, so it can go directly onto compatible tripods or gimbal stabilizers without an additional baseplate.​

• Ergonomics: The side of the cage is slim for comfortable handheld shooting, and the curve at the battery compartment is designed for a better grip, even allowing pinky support.​​

• Build and Weight: Constructed from lightweight aluminum alloy, typically weighing about 190 grams, so it adds minimal heft to your camera but greatly increases mounting flexibility and protection.​

Compatible Cameras

• Sony a1

• Sony a7 IV

• Sony a7R IV, a7R V

This SmallRig Full Camera Cage is an excellent choice for Sony Alpha shooters who need rugged protection, maximum accessory mounting, and convenient access to all camera operations without compromise.​
