The Camera Cage from Zacuto features an open design for the Sony a7R IV camera that lends itself to Zacuto’s “no-cage” cage designation. An Arca-Swiss dovetail is integrated into the bottom of the cage, providing compatibility with the Zacuto Polaris 15mm LWS Baseplate System as well as third-party systems. The camera attaches to a 1/4″-20 screw on the mounting platform of the cage. It also secures to the sides of the cage via the camera’s neck strap eyelets using two included dedicated screws.
The cage allows for full access to all controls, slots, and ports of the camera. While the included hand strap attaches to the right side of the cage, the left side supports an optional wooden handle. Additionally, the cage has a built-in, NATO-compatible Z-Rail which allows for quick release mounting of an optional Zacuto or third-party top handle. The cage also features an HDMI safety clamp to prevent cable pulls. For accessories, a shoe mount and multiple 1/4″-20 accessory mounting threads are offered on the top of the cage. For direct tripod mounting, both 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads are provided on the bottom.
