The Redrock Micro Gimbal Kit for Blackmagic Camerafrom Redrock Micro Gimbal Kit for Blackmagic Cameraprovides added protection, stability, and accessory mounting threads for your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, while leaving access open to all camera functions. The camera attaches to the cage via a top and bottom 1/4"-20 threaded screw and rests flush against the backplate to assure the camera remains straight in the cage. The cage adds nine additional accessory mounting points, consisting of six 1/4"-20 threads, two 3/8"-16 threads, and a cold shoe mount.

The open-face design of the cage keeps the camera's grip accessible to allow for easy and secure handling. It also leaves the area around the lens mount open, so it won't interfere with any lens mount adapters. The optional wireLock accessory can be added to provide a locking mechanism for each of the five cable connectors on the Pocket Cinema Camera. This is especially useful when using an external HDMI monitor or recorder.

The retroFlex cage also serves as the foundation for other retroFlex accessories, including an optical viewfinder and pistol grip with integrated start/stop button. An integrated metal frame on the rear of the cage is provided for quickly adding or removing the retroFlex Optical Viewfinder.

Q: 1. 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: 2. What kind of connector is there under this rig? I would like to know if I can attach the Ronin plate to it.

Q: 4. Will this cage work with the Panasonic GH5?

A: Hi Jennifer - thanks for asking. This ultraCage is better suited for larger DSLR cameras. You might check out the Scout HX rig we offer at BH as well - really nice multi-function system including powered wired and wireless remotehttps://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1176777-REG/redrock_micro_8_165_0001_ultracage_scout_hx_hybrid.html target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1176777-REG/redrock_micro_8_165_0001_ultracage_scout_hx_hybrid.html/a

Q: 5. Will this cage fit the Sony RX100 Mark IV?

A: The RX100 MKIV will definitely fit, but it's a bit overkill for a smaller camera like Sony point-and-shoots. We recommend using the DSLR baseplate as a good starting point for building a rig for ultra-compact cameras. a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/672648-REG/Redrock_Micro_3_043_0002_DSLR_Baseplate.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/672648-REG/Redrock_Micro_3_043_0002_DSLR_Baseplate.html/a

Q: 6. How much of an offset is it?

A: This unit has parallel spacing for all 4 rods at 60mm from center to center.

Q: 7. I have been struggling using this on 6.5 rods, the mattebox does not slide freely down the rods, it stops at the end of the rods because the up and down adjustment does not go high enough. Does anyone have a solution to this, other than getting shorter rods?

A: I've had the same issue unfortunately, and my solution has been exactly that-- shorter rods, which is annoying to have to have different size rods depending on the lens being used.

Q: 8. No flags on the top ?

A: Hi Michael - the standard bundle does not include flags. Check out the Deluxe Bundle which includes top flag and sidewings, and is usually a great deal

Q: 9. 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.

Q: 10. Will these cables work with the Ronin M?

A: Hi Stephanie - thanks for asking. Yes the flexCable wireless kit works for all Ronins including Ronin M
