[0.6 lb] It's great for komodo, and you can attach many other things to it.

[Stainless Steel] Lots of Komodo cages out there but this one is for me: durable, simple, not overly designed, and configurable. Keeps camera light and swift.

[15 mm] This is perfect if you don't want to add a full cage to your Komodo. WIth the combination of 1/4, 3/8, and a few Arri pin locking mounts, there's plenty of options for mounting monitors, handle, mic, etc.

[2] The 8Sinn cage is better than the smallrig cage because it is slimmer and allows you to use the cage with Manfrotto fluid heads.

[15 mm] Usually I don't like screen protectors because they always somehow get a piece of dust or are slightly raised. The way the komodo is though the screen sits down slightly so once the protector goes on its almost flush.

[2] they totally work as nato rails and love the rosette feature. the paint does chip off rather quickly unlike the small rig products which seem more durable

[2] Goes perfectly with my tripod, reliable. I especially love the follow focus, very easy to install and manipulate. Side plates are easy to install and remove, gave me a lot of flexibility. The button on top handle is definitely a winner! Greate creation!!

[2] I tried 2 other cages made by major name brands and the tilta ended up being the all around better option. Not only was it cheaper then the other two, it also had way more to offer. The packaging presentation is intentional, creative and impressive. The cage is worth every penny. The folding top handle comes in handy when operating the menu on your komodo.


I only have two reservations:


The weight - it ends up weighing about 15lbs once you get a v-mount, monitor and transmitter on it. Not a big deal when you are operating on sticks or have massive biceps.


Left Handle - the handle is comfy and feels great. I just wish it came with a right sided one instead of left so I can pull focus with my left hand instead of right.


100% go with this kit. Like I said before, worth every penny.

[15 mm] After having seen the top rail of the SmallRig Komodo cage consistently fail and snap, design quality, affordability and flexibility were front of mind for me making this purchase.

8sinn hasn't disappointed. It's basically the Timmy ribs side handles but with full body support. A great feature of this cage is the inclusion of a support foot, so that lens mount adapters such as the Kippertie Revolva and Metabones can be attached securely without lens wiggle. An absolute must.

The 8Sinn cage (without the top rail) is also compatible with the outrigger handle, which is what decided it for me.

The construction quality feels rock solid and frankly more than I was expecting. I've been really impressed. I owned a Tilta cage for a BMPCC6K previously and the construction quality wasn't even close to this cage. Whatever material Tilta cages use seem to have more inherit flexibility, almost like you can squeeze them if you applied enough pressure, where as the 8Sinn straps to the Komodo and doesn't let go.

One downside is that my 8Sinn package didn't arrive with a correctly sized hex key for one of the screws, so make sure when assembling you have a set on hand. If I was to wish for anything it would be for more mounting options away from the side of the camera and further towards the rear of the rig, such as where the logo sits. Ultimately you still might find yourself needing to run a cheese plate as you rig out your camera but as a building block this is a great start.

[Stainless Steel] This is great for adding some mounting options to your Komodo without having to add a full cage.
