Q: 2. could my Canon 6D fit in this cage?

A: We're afraid not. This is a form fitting cage specific to the A7RIII and A7III cameras, it will not work with a 6D.

Q: 3. We're upgrading from the Sony A7SII to A7R III and I'm hoping to find out if the cage's connector for this camera will still fit on the SHAPE Shoulder Mount for our older model camera? Would love to not have to buy a completely new shoulder rig!

A: Hello Amanda, Thank you for your question! Actually, since Sony changed the physical specs of their camera since the A7SII, we had to design a new cage for the A7Riii.
