Product Description

In addition to accessing the hot shoe and controls, the SmallRig A7S III Cage 2999 allows access to the camera's controls. The cage, which is made of a premium aluminium alloy, is a solid piece of metal that is highly resistant to oxidation and lasts for years.
With an anti-twist design and an M2, the cage incorporates anti-twist technology. This cage includes a 1/4"-20 camera mounting screw as well as a set of five screws that are fixed to the strap hole in order to keep the camera secure. A pad on the base of the SmallRig Cage 2999 protects the camera from scratching. The cage also features an anti-twist design.
Featuring one cold shoe mount and numerous 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes, this form-fitting aluminum cage also features several ARRI mounts for preventing the cage from twisting when accessories are mounted on it. On the left of the cage, there is a NATO rail built in. An adapter for the 1764 lens is separately available and has mounting holes on the front.
Designed to work with SmallRig's universal accessory system, the cage is compatible.
With a weight of only 200g, this design is lightweight. The rig is designed to have strap holes for you to add a neck strap or wrist strap separately. Moreover, the included Allen Wrench has a built-in magnetic suction design so you have no need to worry about it getting lost.

Questions & Answers

Can anyone tell me if this would work for the A7riv ?

Welcome to SmallRig. Thanks for taking the time to take a look. It is true that the 2999 cage is compatible with Sony's *7R IV cameras. Thank you for visiting SmallRig Customer Service. Many thanks, SmallRig

What if it doesn't work with the A7riii?

I have not been able to use it. There are three dials on the A7S iii, but they are in different locations

What is the weight of this cage? Would a gimbal work with it?

While it can fly on DJIRS2 gimbals, it is not capable of going into low mode because it can't clear the lens and balance point due to clearance issues.

How do I determine the compatibility of small rig cages with Sony a7 models?

Thank you for your question. I believe you could search for "SmallRig 1815" on Amazon, which is compatible with the The SmallRig Customer Service Team, *br>Best regards, *br>Sullivan

Selected User Reviews For SMALLRIG Camera Cage Only for Sony Alpha 7S III / A7S III / A7SIII / A7S3 - 2999

Cannot be used
3/5

Unless you remove the obstruction, the record button will not work. It is very difficult for this cage to be used despite its tight fit. There is an obstruction in the record button due to the cage. It's hard to hit record with your finger if you have to stick your finger backwards and halfway under the cage. The photos have made it look like there's plenty of space, I am unable to use it. At least for me, this is the first time I have used a Smallrig cage.

I really like that idea
4/5

My favorite aspect of this camera cage is in normal weather. When I wore gloves in cold weather, I was unable to reach the mode dial. As a result, I switched to the normal LT-mode a couple of weeks ago An open bracket. This design from SmallRig is still on my list to try out as I like it and I need something like it to hang my Atomos Ninja V off of it while using the Sony A7S' digital microphone. SmallRig could have done for cold weather and wearing gloves for people with large hands, but I'm not sure what it could have done. That is why I do not fault them. My other wish would be that the bracket bottom would be compatible with Swiss Arca. I do not think so. It is possible to bolt on a Swiss Arca plate to the bottom, but it requires a lot of finesse. The camera in question is a hybrid, i. e. You will find photos and videos here. It means that we can do landscapes and portraits just like we do with our traditional L-shaped camera A bracket with Arca mounts on both sides (on the left and bottom). Furthermore, having the ability to mount stuff on top of the camera so that videos can be made. It would be ideal if we could achieve that. As an ordinary video camera, SmallRig may have approached this situation. The camera is not a hybrid model that needs to meet every requirement, as it can meet all of them.

I am unable to access the record button
4/5

I am pleased with the fit of this cage for my A7siii. I can't press the record button on my camera, because that is the only problem I have. As a result, I had to program the shutter button to "record" in order to take complete On the right side, I believe the space between the cage and the camera should be wider.

A7SIII cage perfectly suited for the camera
5/5

Through the years, I have used a variety of Sony mirrorless camera cages (wooden camera, tilta, smallrig, newwer) and this has by far been the most useful. The case is lightweight, it can accommodate a variety of accessories, and it does not even interfere with any camera operation on the shooting side. It is only difficult to record on the SIII since the record button cannot be pressed more than once. There is no issue with you being able to press the button, but you have to reach around a small piece of the bracket to do so. This cage is perfect if you just remap the record button (that I would do anyway) to the main shutter button on the camera. If you look at the price, it is simply the best! My recommendation would be to get a wooden handle and top handle with the tripod for filming because they help with the stability.

CLEARS SHOE MOUNT but doesn't remove it! We cannot compromise on this one point *br> *br>1) The cage is not tall enough to clear the shoe mount on the top, therefore nothing flat can be mounted (For example, if you wanted to attach a quick release plate to the top and hang it from a mount
3/5

If the shoe mount is blocking the screw holes on top, what do they do? 1) The complaints about the record button are over-blown. A lot of room appears to be available for it to be pressed. As small as you are, it doesn't matter to me that you loved me. However, I was broken hearted by your actions.

I think this is the best cage for Smallrig so far! In a nutshell, Several camera models have been mounted in different cages
5/5

I've owned at least five different cages. The one with the lightest weight and most shape confirmation is this A NATO rail is built into the cage on the left and it's designed so that you can add handles, triggers, and just get creative with what you can do to set up your system to take off!.

In terms of DSLR cages, it is undoubtedly the best
5/5

I had anticipated it would be just as I expected. I'm happy with the way the building turned out. The cameras fit perfectly and the way it is built really makes it intuitive. You can access everything you need on the cameras without any problems. My videography game is about to get a lot better now that I have all the bells and whistles! Take advantage of this opportunity by picking it.

The cage is good, but the mounting bracket is not included! The cage does a good job of keeping the camera in place, and I like that the contour of the grip increases the ease of holding it, but failing to include an Ark mount makes no sense
3/5

A built-in Arca mount has always been included in every Small Rig cage I've ever gotten. The thought process of those people is unimaginable!.
