Design and Build Quality
Precision Form-Fitting
This cage features a form-fitting design tailored for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K. The device is securely affixed with 1/4"-20 screws on both the top and bottom, supplemented by locating pins and rubber pads on the base plate that prevent movement, twisting, and protect against scratches. The form-fitting shape ensures the camera fits snugly without any rattling or looseness.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
Weighing approximately 300 grams, it is made from premium aluminum alloy to strike a perfect balance between durability and portability. This makes it well suited for handheld use, shoulder rigs, or mounting on tripods and gimbals without significant added weight.
Versatile Mounting Options
Multiple Accessory Attachment Points
The cage includes numerous mounting possibilities to satisfy different rigging needs. It incorporates multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes along with ARRI-style anti-twist accessory holes distributed around the top, sides, and bottom surfaces. These versatile mounting points allow users to equip essential accessories such as LED lights, microphones, monitors, wireless receivers, and magic arms securely.
NATO Rails and Cold Shoe
Built-in NATO rails on the top and side provide a quick-release interface compatible with SmallRig’s extensive range of NATO accessories, including top handles and side grips. Additionally, a cold shoe mount facilitates the attachment of external flashes, wireless transmitters, or small LEDs, enhancing on-set flexibility.
Cable Management and Expansion
To ensure stable and safe cable connections, the cage supports SmallRig's HDMI and USB-C Cable Clamp (Model 2246B) to secure sensitive cables and prevent accidental unplugging during extended shooting or live streaming sessions.
Ergonomic and Functional Design
The cage design thoughtfully maintains unobstructed access to all camera controls, ports, the battery compartment, and memory card slots so that essential functions and maintenance can be performed without the need to remove the cage.
A magnetic hex wrench is conveniently stored within the base plate, allowing on-demand adjustment and assembly with ease.
