Q: 4. will this half-cage fit the Sony Alpha 9ii?

A: We cannot guarantee this cage would fit the a9 II, as it was designed to fit exclusively on the Sony Alpha 7 IV, 7S III, 7R IV, and A1. The only SmallRig cage currently available that’s designed to fit the a9 II is the SmallRig Light Camera Cage for Sony a7R IV & a9 II (BH #SM2917 MFR #2917) - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1603712-REG/smallrig_2917_light_cage_for_sony.html

Q: 7. Does the bottom plate successfully slide onto the newer DJI RS3?

A: Yes, The Base of the SmallRig Half Camera cage has a Arca Swiss compatible base that would allow it to mount with the DJI RS3/Pro gimbal which also has an Arca swiss mount.

Q: 8. Will this work with the Vello GB-S7 grip?

A: Unfortunately the Vello BG-S7 Battery Grip varies in it's dimension from the Sony VG-C4EM, and therefore we would only recommend the Sony VG-C4EM for use with the Smallrig Camera Cage for Sony A1 & Select A7 Models with VG-C4EM Battery Grip, instead, as it is fitted for the Sony VG-C4EM specifically.
