This is so clean and precise. Thanks for your sharing

[@mattchungz]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for this!

[@adamhu5983]

Good content, very precise on what the cage can do, thank you!

[@DinxVlogs]

Thank you for this comparison. I’ve decided I’m getting the half cage

[@andrijarancic6330]

Is the possible to rotate a7iv fip screen completely if cage is on camera? Like for self recording (of course if there is just cage, without cables and stuff)

[@fallenlove1314]

May i ask, can still install a nato rail at the bottom of the half cage ?

[@ekphotography]

Thanks for the video, do you know what size that nato rail is on top that you put on the half cage? I have a small Nato rail and need a Nato rail bc I have the Small rig handle with the trigger for sony cameras and want to use it. Thank you!!!

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

If you mean the length, anything from an inch to an inch and a half is fine.

[@DNICTimor-LesteTV]

how use to in anton bauer batterie

[@ipsun1632]

Thanks for the comparison. Can the half cage shoot in portrait mode(vertically)?

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

There is no arca-Swiss mount built in for that but you can add a plate or just rotate the tripod head.

[@Snapper314]

One additional benefit of the Half Cage is that you can slide it onto A DJI RS2 gimbal from either side, and without removing that plate from the gimbal. And that means you won't have to rebalance the gimbal every time you attach your camera.

[@IAmKenArts]

Does the halfcage wiggle when you use the top handle?

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

It tightens on very well so I haven’t had that happen so far. I have read that complaint from some.

[@KingsleyGeorgePouponeau]

After buying the full cage, I realised that I could not flip my camera as when using an L-bracket...any suggestion? I am a photographer not video. thanks

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

You can add a tripod plate to the side of the cage.

[@KingsleyGeorgePouponeau]

@@AndrewVanBeekOttawa It seems that the screen will be in the way...or vice versa😁 thanks.

[@yezzirrr416]

Hi which zeiss lens was that? Thanks

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

That would be the 55mm F1.8. A great compact lens.

[@genocideist]

Hi, is the half cage compatible with A7III ?

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

I don’t have the A7III but from the SmallRig website it looks like the A7III requires a different cage.
