SmallRig Camera Cage with HDMI Cable Clamp for Sony a7S III

For the price thing thing is really hard to beat. Plenty of mounting options and accessories through SmallRig. The only thing I don't love is that it makes the C2 button and sometimes the Record button difficult to hit whenever you're hand-holding the camera. But all in all it's super handy to have!

I was surprised how lightweight this construction is. It doesn't come off my camera now. not only it gives me a lot of flexibility in attaching various gadgets but also it provides additional protection. Also, very important thing, I love how it feels in hands agronomically wise. Definitely good product, recommending it. don't you love when manufactures come up with truly well thought out piece of equipment. Kudos smallRig. indeed a very good job!

The cage is exactly what I needed for my rig. I guess if I were to nitpick, I wish there was a way to clamp cables in the USB ports. The HDMI clamp works awesomely.

Got this for my camera, fits perfectly, just needed to change my shutter button on the camera to be able to record videos since the cage blocks the camera's record button. I like the extra cord protector that locks down the cord on the side too.

I researched a bunch of different cages for the A7SIII before deciding on this one. I really wanted the Tilta cage because of the aesthetics. But I kept coming back to this one because of the eyelet fastener. A lot of cages only fasten the camera at the bottom. However, in run and gun situations, with a heavy rig on a gimbal, or after extended shooting, this can come loose and cause the camera to twist. The smallrig cage comes with a feature that allows you to screw the camera strap eyelet directly on to the cage, preventing all twisting. I've made the mistake of buying cool looking cages that weren't the best when it came to getting the job done. Who cares if your cage looks sexy if it's wobbling around on the shoot? The stabilizing functionality of the SmallRig Cage, combined with the rock solid build quality, made this an easy choice for me. And, if you haven't used a SmallRig HDMI clamp before, it's quite ingenious. It has a built in lever action that nudges the clamp forward as you tighten it, ensuring that you get a solid grip on the HDMI that will prevent it from moving. You might find prettier rigs, but if you are worried about protecting your gear and making sure it's perfectly stable while shooting, this is the answer.

The cage is a solid protector tailored for it, doesn't interfere with the articulating screen nor battery compartment access. Opens your camera to a ridiculous number of accessories. You can easily SmallRig, Camvate, Tilta and FilmCity your camera to circus proportions to enhance it as hand-held or tripod-based craft tool-- on a budget! Now where's my swivel handle??
