Q: 9. Does Smallrig make a support for the Metabones PL adapter to go with this cage? Thanks.

A: As yet (November 2021), SmallRig has not produced any lens support adapter stated as being for use with the SmallRig Cage for Panasonic S1H Camera (B&H# SMCCP2488) and Metabones Lens Mount Adapter for ARRI PL-Mount Lens to Leica L-Mount Camera (B&H# MEMBPLLBT1) specifically. However, one could potentially add a cheeseplate to the bottom of the cage to connect it to the tripod mount of the Metabones adapter. Some washers or spacers may be required.
