Q: 8. Will this work with the Canon Rebel series? I know I would need to get a different dummy battery. I have a Rebel T6i.

A: We're afraid not. This product is designed specifically for the a7 II series of cameras. It will not work with the Rebel T6i, not only because of the battery connection but also because this system is meant to turn a Clean HDMI Output to SDI and the T6i does not offer a Clean HDMI output.

Q: 9. What size are the screws that hold the micro-HDMI cable in?

A: The retaining thumb knobs found on the HDMI bracket are M4x0.7 threaded. The actual bracket is secured to the cage via 1/4-20 shouldered screws included with the bracket.

Q: 10. With this cage on the camera, can I still mount the camera with a metabones adapter onto a tripod? Meabones has a thread on the bottom that I attach the plate to and I want to know if the cage gets in the way of the plate.

A: While there should be no problem assembling the camera, cage and lens adapter, it is suggested the a more solid set up is by using the following piece, the Movcam Riser Block for Sony A7S Camera Cage B&H # MOCSSA7S. This supports the Metabones and keeps the camera from moving in the cage.
