The Redrock Micro ultraCage Scout HX Camera Rigis a portable, self-contained handheld cage and rig for mirrorless and DSLR cameras. The fully loaded Scout HX features a precision-machined cage, a removable rod system, microRemote electronics, an integrated fingerwheel, and built-in battery power.

The Scout can be configured to fit most handheld cameras, ranging from smaller mirrorless to larger DSLRs, while leaving all camera functions fully accessible. The rig's aluminum frame gives your camera added protection from bumps and scrapes, while its Rhino mount secures the torque motor for slip-free operation, and its integrated cold shoe mount enables you to mount up to two accessories.

The ultraCage Scout's wireless-ready microRemote Fingerwheel System is integrated into the cage to optimize balance and minimize size. The integrated fingerwheel offers smooth electronically controlled focus without your hands leaving the grips, and the added opposite-side handgrip provides balance for handholding shots.

The ultraCage Scout HX has setup options to adapt to different shooting styles. You can use the rig in Expanded mode, which features extended grip for comfortable and balanced handholding, or collapse the rig into Compact mode for a smaller setup designed for use on cine-style rigs, such as studio or shouldermount rigs, or on gimbals. You can also fine-tune between the two modes using four sliders for maximum size and balance adjustments.

Q: 3. Can this be used with an a7S ii?

A: This cage is large enough to accommodate DSLR sized cameras. The A7S II will fit in it, however you may find this cage too big. You may want to look in to more form fitting options designed specifically for the Sony A7SII.

Q: 5. Could the Letus Helix Jr power this? Can the control wheel be powered separately or does it have to go into the base station?

A: The control wheel must be connected to the base station so that not only is it powered but it's signal can be passed to the focus motor. (which also gets it's power and signal from the base station.) As to working on the Helix, we believe that there is power available for the base station. If you wish to find out which cable, please call, chat or email us at B&H. Phone 800.606.6969 or 212.444.6615 E-Mail provideo@a href= http://bhphoto.com target= _blank bhphoto.com/a

Q: 7. How can i mount this cage on tri pod? The two 1/4 holes isn't center of lens gravity so it may cause problem when panning or moving the head it slef. Is there any part that can merge the two holes into one?

A: It's off center a bit, but I haven't had any problems with it using a standard tripod piece screwed into one hole on the bottom. I use a fairly heavy duty Manfrotto and there's no tipping issues or anything and I'm using a nice sized EFV as well. I actually really love this cage and recommend it.

Q: 8. Does this system work with the letus helix jr? Thumbwheel mounted on handle? What other accesories would be needed?

Q: 9. Does it work with the Panasonic Lumix GH4?

A: Looking at the compatibility chart, I would have to say that while it probably would fit, in all likelihood, it will be compromised. I would suggest getting a cage made for the Panasonic Lumix GH4 and build it out. Please see the two suggested. If you wish to see more, do go to the camera's accessory page for more suggestions.

Q: 10. I have this item, but I am looking to purchase the 2 pieces from the picture that are greyed out. I think one is the ultraPlate for the Blackmagic Camera but where can I find the smaller piece that fits into it?

A: The only item I was able to find that included both the ultraPlate and the cold shoe to cage top connector was this item:Redrock Micro ultraCage Black BMCC Deluxe Cage Upgrade Kit - B&H # RE81310015 - MFR # 8-131-0015I was unable to find the cold show to cage connector separately, even on Redrock Micro's web site.I am glad I got this unit though, as the handle is definitely a great item to have on the cage for lugging around a fully loaded camera kit.
