The LanParte Camera Cage with 501-Compatible QR Plate & R/S Top Handle for Sony a7R IV integrates a Manfrotto 501-compatible baseplate system within the cage, making it easy to slide your camera into and out of the cage for lightweight stripped-down operation. The aluminum cage provides a protective exoskeleton for your camera, protecting it from the rigors of the production. The included top handle provides an ergonomic grip for low-angle shots or carrying the camera, as well as run/stop control via LANC protocols. Together, the cage and top handle feature numerous accessory mounting points that allow you to attach optional accessories, such as monitors, mics, articulating arms, and lights, to your rig without stressing your camera's delicate chassis.

Mount your camera on the baseplate and slide that into the cage. An adjustable tension lever lock secures the plate into the cage, keeping your camera secure and protected. While protecting your camera, the cage allows access to all the functions as well as card slots and battery compartment. The 1/4"-20 threaded holes along the sides and top of the cage provide ample mounting opportunities for optional articulating arms of other accessory mounting instruments. The 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes with anti-twist divots are located, one each, on the top of the cage and on the side, and a single cold shoe is built-in at the top for additional accessories.

The cage features an integrated baseplate system. This allows you to mount your camera onto the included Manfrotto 501-compatible camera plate, so you can quickly transfer your camera between the cage to a different application that requires a stripped-down camera, such as a drone, and back again.

Q: 1. 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.
