[7.9 x 5 x 0.8"] I've used two other cages on a C70 on two ends of the budget spectrum - a Bright Tangerine half cage setup ($1,000+) and a Tilta full cage setup ($100), both great for different reasons. I decided I needed a minimalist setup that kept the weight down to a bare minimum. I was nervous about leaving a $5,000 investment unprotected, but eventually dove in and bought this skeletal cage. I love it.


There's not much to say about the baseplate, because there's not much to it either. It offers mounting points on three sides and has an HDMI bracket to protect your HDMI from being twisted or bent. It isn't a locking HDMI protector, keep that in mind. In my opinion, this is a more elegant solution. Fewer moving parts, and it does it's job. It's not there to prevent an HDMI from getting pulled out, it's there to prevent bending or twisting damage to your HDMI cable and the C70's HDMI port.


The side plate was a question mark for me, and still is to a degree. I removed my C70's hand strap a while back since the only thing it was good at was being a sweat collector. I installed the side plate and... I kinda like it? I don't see myself attaching much to it, but it's attractive, it'll be functional if the need ever arises, and it's surprisingly comfortable.


The top plate is fantastic. Since it attaches to both the top shoe and the sensor plane marker mounting points, and feels nice and secure. It offers the combination of mounting points I need for my setup. I opted for the cage-only bundle since I already own the awesome Kondor Blue Talon handle that I love.

[7.9 x 5 x 0.8"] Add more mounting points to your C70 without adding bulk to rig. The Arri locking threads are a nice touch and make adding a arm/handle very easy and it looks cool!

[0.15 lb] I've looked at all other top plates. This one not only looks sleek to impress my clients, but on the C70, this lets me add a Hdmi Transmitter and Rode Audio reciever while still rocking a shotgun mic. Top handle hand space is still not compromised. I can't imagine loving it anymore then I do.

[7.9 x 5 x 0.8"] Seems a bit sturdy, very good braiding cover. Works with Canon C70 perfectly.

[0.15 lb] We use this weekly for an ntg4+ to bmpcc4k. This cord is nice at 25' long, and really enjoy having a solution for mini xlr to xlr.

[7.9 x 5 x 0.8"] Solid build , great sound quality

[0.15 lb] The cable is thick, coiled and made with good quality.

[0.15 lb] If you are looking for a top plate for the Canon EOS C70, look no further. This thing is a rock. Using the two screws deal to secure to the top is, in my own words, legit. The plate feels super secure, does not block any essential functions, and the metal doesn't bleed like Tilta's. This was a must for me since I travel with the C70. In humid climates, Tilta's coating starts coming off and gets caked in sweaty hands. Not an issue here. I recommend this product.

[7.9 x 5 x 0.8"] This works great for my BMPCC 4K. The coiled cable is really useful when you need that extra stretch. It's well built and hopefully lasts a long time.

[7.9 x 5 x 0.8"] Works great, does the job and is made in good quality!
