[0.2 lb] After dealing with disappointment from how much the SmallRig Black Mamba cage flexed, I knew I needed a more robust cage for my GH6. Through my research, I’ve found this to be the GH6 cage with the most points of contact on the camera body (two M2.5 screws on both side strap loops, and a 1/4” 20 on the base). Construction is sturdy, as it’s made of thick machined pieces. The top of the cage is essentially a 1/4” 20 cheese plate, and offers a NATO rail for top handle mounting. I’ve tested this cage with the LUMIX DMW-XLR1 while mounting a Zacuto top handle, and it’s a narrow fit, but I can confirm the cage is compatible. The left side also features a NATO rail, ARRI rosette, and a 3/8” 16 with locating pins, but there’s no mounting coverage on the right side, which is kept open to allow handheld operation on the camera body. I would have preferred to have the right side enclosed too, so a side grip could be mounted, but that’s a small issue. Front-to-back oriented Arca plate on the bottom of the cage is much better for tripod configurations and works perfectly with Zacuto’s ACT baseplate. Hands down the best cage for this camera.

[0.2 lb] Hands down the best designed cage for the S5! It offers a bunch of protection and is super modular. The hand strap is well constructed and adds an upgraded level of comfort and security when holding the camera. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but there is even a slot on the bottom of the cage that slips into my existing SmallRig quick release plate. It seems like Zacuto thought of everything when designing the cage. I highly recommend it!

[3 x 2 x 2"] Go for it.

[3 x 2 x 2"] Very sturdy, not like those flimsy 60$ ones... Sometimes it's better to pay more to get something you can actually use, this is one of those times. I regret buying the Lanparte one which lasted 2 days. This one is going to last much longer!

[3 x 2 x 2"] This is high quality as would be expected from Zacuto. It fit perfectly on my 15mm rods, tightened up well, and the FS7 hand grip screwed into the rosette tightly. It also looks really nice.

[0.2 lb] Had to buy this to relocate my handgrip on my Sony FS7 because I have the Zacuto baseplate and it doesn't allow you to have the hangrip in the original place on the camera. This works nice with the Shape extension arm I purchased and allows you to set the camera flat on a table or ground.

[3 x 2 x 2"] If any other joint ball mount has given you headaches, this is the answer to all your troubles. It's pricey but it works wonders.

[3 x 2 x 2"] It holds 6-7 cards plus 4-5 notes. Easy to access any card you need while keeping the overall thickness very low. Like the design.

[3 x 2 x 2"] This is the best cage for gh6 in my opinion but also the most expensive cheese grater style out there. But it makes my handler camera shooting a breeze with multiple attachments. The base plate is a bit awkward with the small rig rod attachments but it's fixed with a few more accessories. The side strap is strong and classy. I bought the top handle too which is another engineering marvel. This has certainly increased my versatility on long shoots and instant grip change with the Zacuto handle handling like a nunchaku. Great ergonomics but I wish the cage came with extra screws. Mine fell out and it was a pain replacing it. Anyways. Great job guys! This review is after two years of owning it.

[3 x 2 x 2"] I purchased it to work with my Zacuto VCT Universal Baseplate. Highly engineered product.
