Hi sorry newbie here, is that an aftermarket eye cup? If so, what brand is it? It looks slim and smaller

[@Antrax360]

great video, Looking to get a cage and some grips for my a7iv. I have a question i usually shoot my videos in portrait mode for instagram reels, can you do a setup like that? having the handles on top and bottom? is that possible?

[@PTPhotoGearReviews]

Sure, you can attach an arca swiss plate to the left side of the half cage but my small rig handle only fits on the top of the cage not the bottom. Screw holes are too close together on the bottom unfortunately. You might be better off with an L bracket for what you want. Cheers.

[@Antrax360]

@@PTPhotoGearReviews cant you remove one of the screws or are they nonremovable!? I need one like on the top hotshoe and the other where the tripod hole is. So i can hold it in portrait mode and have smooth footage without gimbal.
