The 2098 Quick Release Half Cage for Sony a7 II/a7 III Series Cameras from SmallRig provides accessory mounting and quick release convenience for your a7 II/III series mirrorless camera.
Accessory mounting options include a NATO rail plus 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and ARRI-style threads. This formfitting half cage maintains access to the camera's controls and includes threads for attaching an optional lens adapter support.
Add a right- or left-side handle to your camera rig or cage that features a NATO rail with this Wooden Side Handle from SmallRig. The aluminum portion of the handle features 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads plus a shoe mount on top of the handle to add a light, microphone, monitor, mounting arm, or other accessory.
The handle's NATO clamp attaches to a NATO rail on a rig or cage and has a sliding mechanism that allows you to slide the handle up and down within a range of 1.6" for your preferred position. The smooth wood handle provides a solid, comfortable grip. An included Allen wrench allows you to adjust the handle position quickly and stores inside the handle.
The SmallRig Monitor Cage with Sun Hood for SmallHD 502 Bright Monitor helps protect your monitor from the rigors of the production day. It features a dedicated sun hood that shades the monitor's screen without blocking access to its control interface. The cage mounts on your monitor via screw holes on the side and back, providing protection and attachment points for accessories that would otherwise strain the monitor's frame.
The cage is machined with integrated NATO rails on both sides and the bottom, making it quick to add or release NATO-mounted accessories. Multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded accessory mounting points run along the perimeter of the cage, with some of these points featuring ARRI-style anti-twist divots. An included HDMI cable clamp helps prevent accidental kick outs, and an optional SDI cable clamp is available.
The Cold Shoe Extension from SmallRig includes a 1/4"-20 counterbore slot and a cold shoe. The 1/4"-20 counterbore slot could be mounted onto the threaded holes on the right side of the 1889 Sony a6500 Cage and the cold shoe is compatible with RODE microphones, wireless microphones, and RODE SVMX microphones. The arrowheads on the cold shoe point to anti-off direction. In addition, the cold shoe extends beyond the cage so as not to block buttons and ports.
The SmallRig Holder for Portable Power Banks is made from aluminum alloy to be lightweight yet strong. Its design allows you to mount portable power banks (USB batteries) to your camera so you can power it for extended periods of time. It features multiple 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes so you can position it where it works best for you. The clamping jaws are lined with rubber pads which protect the finish of your power bank. The entire holder weighs in at only 3.7 ounces, so by itself it won't significantly add to your rig's weight.
Mount a 5 or 7" monitor on your camera, cage, or rig with this aluminum Monitor Mount from SmallRig. The mount has a NATO rail on one side and an anti-twist ARRI accessory mount with a 3/8"-16 screw and locating pins on the other. The NATO rail is secured with a locking lever and the 3/8"-16 screw tightens as a thumbscrew. The mount can tilt up to 180° and supports up to a 3.3 lb load.
