With the Wooden Camera Unified Cage for Select Cameras, you can build a rig to suit any professional video or cinema production. The cage itself surrounds your camera on three sides, adding a measure of protection to your camera. The top of the cage leaves the space above the camera's accessory shoe unobstructed for mounting audio accessories, such as XLR adapters.

The base can attach to Wooden Camera rod systems to secure professional lens equipment like follow focuses and matte boxes, as well as grip equipment like shoulder mounts and dovetails. An HDMI cable clamp is integrated with the cage's vertical post to protect the camera's HDMI port from cable snags, as well as all necessary mounting screws and an articulating wooden top handle.

Included with the cage, the reversible top handle has a wooden handgrip which provides additional ways to comfortably handhold your camera. A cold shoe at the top can be used to mount a microphone, monitor, or other camera-top accessory. The handle folds down when packing your bag and can be alternately secured onto the left vertical rod for a secondary grip.

The base of the cage is a Manfrotto quick release dovetail which can directly secure your camera to Manfrotto standard quick release plates and tripod heads. Quick release functionality works the same as existing Manfrotto plates. Simply turn the thumbscrew and depress the release pin to slide the plate backward out of the base.

A built-in lens adapter support system is integrated into the base. This provides extra security when attaching lens adapters with 1/4"-20 threads on the bottom, like the separately available Wooden Camera PL adapters and most Metabones adapters.

With the seamless addition of Wooden Camera's Unified DSLR 15mm Baseplate, you can add 15mm LWS rods for accessorizing your camera. Additionally, the Baseplate adds ARRI dovetail compatibility while maintaining all quick release functionality of the DSLR cage itself.

Q: 4. Can I use this baseplate with non-Wooden Camera cages? Will the Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter work to connect my 8Sinn cage to the four posts on this baseplate?

A: Hi Keith, This product was created specifically to mount to our Unified DSLR Cages and the hole alignment is not likely to fit another brand of cage. Also, it is engineered to reach perfect height to optical center, which would be thrown off if installed on another device. Thank you.
