[Yes] I was concerned about constantly plugging and unplugging HDMI cables in my YOLO box. They really weren't meant for that type of use. I was also concerned about the possibility of breaking the HDMI jacks should someone trip or otherwise pull on a cable on location. The YC Onion YoloBox Cage solves these concerns and also brings additional functionality.


The cage itself is crafted of beautifully machined and anodized aluminum. It's held together with chrome plated hex-head bolts and secured to the YOLO Box via its 1/4 mounting socket. Hex tools are included, along with extra bolts. The right side of the cage has four 1/4 mounting holes and a cold-shoe mount for accessories. The left side of the cage has four more 1/4 mounting holes, and the bottom has five 1/4 mounting holes and the back has two more additional 1/4 mounting holes. You can mount just about anything you can imagine to the cage.

The top of the cage has aluminum cable stays that hold your cables securely in place. The stays are secured in place with knurled aluminum thumb screws. Everything about this cage is high quality.


I purchased several 6-inch HDMI extension cables that I leave permanently attached to the YOLO Box. This eliminates my concern about wearing out the HDMI jacks from constantly inserting and removing cables. I just plug my long HDMI cables into the extension cables when Im setting up on location.

The YC Onion cage does add a bit of weight and girth to the YOLO Box, and the permanently mounted HDMI extension cables make YOLO a bit less compact. But I knew this going in and it's not an issue for me. I'm entirely pleased with this purchase.

Please note that YC Onion makes a cage specifically for each of the three YOLO Box configurations; original, pro and mini. They are all different cages. Fortunately, B&H stocks cages for each of the YOLO Box configurations.

[Plastic] This thing is great! I've used it with and without the motor for great dynamic shots.

[3/8"-16 Male] This cage transformed my Yolobox Pro into an even more robust system. I can now mount all my accessories to the Yolobox Pro, making it an even more compact setup for live streams.

[9.78 lb] I followed the recommendation of one reviewer to purchase this - and glad I did. It is so easy to assemble and makes the Yolobox more rugged. Provides lots of points for attaching accessories. Love it.

[Plastic] The YC Onion YoloBox Ultra Cage is of excellent quality, fits exact and performs perfectly. I am not only protecting the Ultra, but now have many options to attach other gear. The only thing I wish, is that there would be 1/4 20 threads on the top portion as I use my ultra a lot as a monitor affixed to the top of my camera. That way I could have my HDMI cables exit the bottom since the Ultra is able to flip the orientation in the settings.

[Yes] While my friend's Edelkrone SliderONE is amazing, it's also double the price of this one without gaining double the value. In comparison, you can hear the slider motor more vs. the Edelkrone - so you're not likely to use the audio from your camera. However, if you're using wireless lav mic, or a mic that's boomed, it's not so loud that you'll pick that up. It's ONLY if you're capturing audio on the camera itself.

The app is very easy to use, and connects one the first try without issues. I also like that you can use Sony batteries (NP-F550), or an external battery pack.

Overall, I'm very happy that I saved the money, and went with this over the Edelkrone - especially since I use it here n there and it's not on every job.

[Carbon Fiber] Man, I sure am hungry.

This slider is crazy strong. Took just a couple of minutes.

For anyone trying to figure out how to put the unit in cycle/loop mode:

Once the a and b points are set, click the knob to set, then once again to enter video mode. You'll see it says "once".

Double tap the power button quickly and you'll see that changed to cycle.

Not sure if it said that in the manual or not, because the manual itself is pretty basic. But like most things in life, enough tinkering and you'll get it. Overall great slider, the 39" one is HUGE. Also, if you shoot product video like me and need to do manual slides, this has a perfect "smooth friction", if you will.

Compatibility with a gimbal is dope, too. Gonna be using it with my Crane 3 LAB. If you're using a RS2, don't forget to buy the little Bluetooth adapter.

[3/8"-16 Male] It's perfect starter slider. Durable! I have dropped it and nothing.

[Motorized] I have 3 wireless video receivers screwed into this. Makes the whole process much easier to deal with. Definitely recommend for cable management and adding additional items to the device.


Can access SD and SIM card slots with the cage on there as well. I'm a fan.

[3/8"-16 Male] My order at B&H was very smooth. The products were delivered the following day. I believe they have mastered the art of.making the customer feel good.
