[0.035 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.

[0.035 lb] 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.

[Shoe-Mounted] 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.

[Shoe-Mounted] Both the thumb grip and shutter release button are exactly as advertised. The thumb grip is much closer to the body than previous grips I’ve used, making it much more comfortable laying against my side using a camera strap. The shutter release button has an unexpected side effect. It makes the half press less distinguishable, which leads to unintended shutter release before I’m ready to take the shot. It’s more about the Fujifilm shutter mechanism than the accessory itself. I’m very happy with these products.

[0.035 lb] Great thumb grip. Works perfectly

[0.035 lb] If you own a YOLO Box Pro then this is a must have. First and foremost it protects the unit itself. It is well made and light weight! The only downside to this unit is the price. It is worth every penny considering the cost of the yolo box pro. Highly recommended!
