Improve the accessory mounting possibilities while protecting your RED KOMODO cinema camera with this SHAPE Camera Cage for RED KOMODO. The durable 3-piece cage is built around the top plate that you mount on your KOMODO, allowing you to mount the side riser panels and included 15mm rod clamps. Once mounted on your camera, you've created a sturdy external cage that provides accessory mounting holes, as well as ARRI-compatible rosettes on each side for mounting optional grips to help you when handholding the KOMODO.

The cage is replete with 1/4"-20 accessory mounting threads for attaching a variety of available accessories, such as articulating arms. Additional 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes with ARRI-style anti-twist divots allow you to attach accessories that stay secure and won't unexpectedly twist, which usually happens at the worst moment, ruining the shot. Two individual 15mm spring-loaded rod clamps can be mounted on the cage for adding rod-mounted accessories. The cage retains open access to all ports and controls on the camera, and it disassembles easily into three parts for transport and storage.

The advantage of the cage is that it provides a rigid external frame to your RED KOMODO camera for attaching accessories to your camera without stressing your camera's body. This allows you to accessorize without worrying about damaging your camera.

The cage allows you to add optional grips to your camera via the ARRI-style rosettes, making the RED KOMODO's body more handheld friendly.

The individual rod clamps can be attached to the cage and allow you to mount optional 15mm rods. The clamps each use a spring-loaded lever for securing your rod on the clamp.

[0.76 lb] Great cage for the Komodo. I needed a cage that would work easily with the expansion module attached. The bottom of this cage is it’s own separate piece and easy to remove. It works well with the expansion module. Plenty of 1/4 20’s all around to mount accessories to. Two thumbs up... 5

[RED KOMODO] Amazing cage for my newly owned RED Komodo 5

[Cage] After having seen the top rail of the SmallRig Komodo cage consistently fail and snap, design quality, affordability and flexibility were front of mind for me making this purchase. 8sinn hasn't disappointed. It's basically the Timmy ribs side handles but with full body support. A great feature of this cage is the inclusion of a support foot, so that lens mount adapters such as the Kippertie Revolva and Metabones can be attached securely without lens wiggle. An absolute must. The 8Sinn cage (without the top rail) is also compatible with the outrigger handle, which is what decided it for me. The construction quality feels rock solid and frankly more than I was expecting. I've been really impressed. I owned a Tilta cage for a BMPCC6K previously and the construction quality wasn't even close to this cage. Whatever material Tilta cages use seem to have more inherit flexibility, almost like you can squeeze them if you applied enough pressure, where as the 8Sinn straps to the Komodo and doesn't let go. One downside is that my 8Sinn package didn't arrive with a correctly sized hex key for one of the screws, so make sure when assembling you have a set on hand. If I was to wish for anything it would be for more mounting options away from the side of the camera and further towards the rear of the rig, such as where the logo sits. Ultimately you still might find yourself needing to run a cheese plate as you rig out your camera but as a building block this is a great start. 5

[0.76 lb] This is perfect if you don't want to add a full cage to your Komodo. WIth the combination of 1/4, 3/8, and a few Arri pin locking mounts, there's plenty of options for mounting monitors, handle, mic, etc. 5

[0.76 lb] they totally work as nato rails and love the rosette feature. the paint does chip off rather quickly unlike the small rig products which seem more durable 5

[RED KOMODO] I'm able to attach a locking Arri-style top handle and use 15mm rod components above the lens. Other companies would do well to implement top 15mm rods. This plate allows for unparalleled modularity. It's very sturdy and I can trust it with a lot of weight. 5

[RED KOMODO] good product form good brand 5

Jonathan	13/05/2024
[RED KOMODO] I bought this to use on my Komodo with the Metabones Cine Speedbooster (EF to RF), and it has a slight gap between this and the lens support on the speedbooster. I remedied this by sticking two very small washers in the gap (one on each side so four total) and they fit very snugley which helps take up the gap and makes this support very sturdy. Just something to note if you plan to buy it, you will need to fill the gap with something. Would not recommend using it without something to support, otherwise your lens mount could get damaged over time. 5
