SmallRig Half Cage for Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K & 6K
Lightweight Protection and Expanded Mounting at MojoComputers
The SmallRig Half Cage for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K offers a sleek balance of durable protection, accessory expandability, and ease of use. Designed for filmmakers and content creators looking to enhance their Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC) without adding bulk, this half cage is an ideal rigging solution for handheld shooting, gimbals, and compact workflows.
Precise Fit and Durable Construction
Constructed from high-grade aluminum alloy with anti-twist silicone pads, the SmallRig Half Cage fits snugly around the BMPCC 4K and 6K bodies. The cage secures the camera firmly with one 1/4”-20 screw on the top and two on the bottom, preventing any unwanted shifting or twisting during intense shooting sessions. Despite its protective frame, the cage’s design maintains unobstructed access to all critical buttons, ports, battery and media doors, vents, and the articulating touchscreen, preserving full functionality.
Multiple Mounting Options
This cage stands out with its versatile mounting points, enabling a wide variety of accessories:
-
Multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes allow for lights, monitors, microphones, focus controllers, or other gear.
-
3/8”-16 ARRI standard accessory mounts provide secure and anti-twist positioning of heavier components like handles or rigs.
-
A cold shoe mount on the top facilitates quick attachment of microphones or lights.
-
Two integrated NATO rails (one on the left side, one on top) accept NATO-compatible grips and accessories, making customization and modularity easy.
Manfrotto Quick Release and Compatibility
The cage incorporates a built-in Manfrotto 501PL quick-release plate, enabling rapid mounting or removal of the camera from tripods or stabilizers in just a few seconds. This significantly speeds up workflow for mobile shooters and photographers frequently switching setups. The base plate of the cage also offers multiple threaded holes for compatibility with a wide range of support gear, such as DJI RS2 stabilizers or other quick-release systems.
Lightweight and Portable Design
Weighing approximately 362 grams, the half cage adds minimal weight, retaining the camera’s compactness while offering professional-level protection. The lightweight design makes it comfortable for extended handheld shooting or gimbal use without compromising balance or ergonomics.
Additional Functionalities
-
The cage supports SmallRig’s HDMI/USB-C cable clamp mount, keeping your cables secure and preventing accidental disconnections during shoots.
-
It accommodates SmallRig’s SSD holder (especially Samsung T5/T7) securely via dedicated mounting slots, streamlining external recording options.
-
Side and top threaded holes facilitate multiple mounting possibilities, from magic arms to wireless receiver holders to follow focus systems.
-
Integrated strap attachment points offer options to attach neck or wrist straps for extra handling security and comfort.
Full Access and User Friendly
An essential advantage is that the half cage is designed with the camera’s functionality in mind. The user retains:
-
Uninterrupted access to all side and top buttons, dials, connectors, and cooling vents.
-
Access to battery and media card compartments without cage removal.
-
Articulating LCD touchscreen operates unhindered for monitoring and menu access.
