The Sony A7III/A7RIII/A9 Cage
is our “no-cage” cage
compatible with the Sony
A7RIII, A7III and A9 mirrorless
cameras. It is lightweight and
compact, and packs in a ton of
features! The Cage screws into
the bottom of the camera with
a provided ¼ 20 screw. It also
attaches to the sides of the
camera, using the Sony eyelets
neck strap connection with
provided screws. It includes a
Zacuto camera hand strap for a
secure and comfortable grip on
the camera. The cage ends at
the eyelet neck strap connec-
tion, allowing you to use the
camera's built in handgrip,
keeping the cage small and
light and have easy access to
all camera controls.
The top of the cage includes
numerous ¼ 20 for mounting
accessories. It also has a built
in Z-Rail for mounting an
optional top handle or other
accessories. The bottom of the
cage has 2 ¼" 20 threads and
a 3/8" 16 thread for a tripod
plate and a built in dovetail to
slide into a VCT Pro shoulder
mount baseplate or VCT Pro
dock so you can quickly move
your camera from handheld, to
shoulder mount, to tripod
shooting. The dovetail
connection point is also where
you will connect the optional
15mm lightweight rod support
for attaching matte boxes,
follow focuses, motors, etc. It
will also slide onto our VCT Pro
and VCT Pro Dock.
The cage is designed for full
access to the camera’s battery
door, hotshoe and full button
control. There is also an
optional Metabones adapter
support. Included with the
cage is a left wooden handgrip
with a built in cold shoe.
Putting the coldshoe on the
left gets it out of the way of the
XLR cables for the optional
XLR-K2M audio module
mounted to the camera’s
hotshoe. For those using the
HDMI output, the cage
includes an HDMI cable clamp
to hold the full size HDMI cable
steady to reduce strain.
