The Camera Cage Kit from Tilta is designed to protect the Sony VENICE camera. It features 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting points for attaching accessories. The included V-mount battery plate integrates with the top plate to provide several power outputs. The top plate features a built-in 3-pin cable that when plugged into the VENICE's top 3-pin port sends R/S functionality to all of the cage's 3-pin R/S ports. The VENICE's EVF can be mounted on the top plate by attaching it to the 15mm LWS rods that can be inserted to the front of the top plate. The top handle can easily slide on and off the top plate to adapt the camera for Steadicam and gimbal setups. Optional top handle extensions can be attached to provide a handle that hangs over the back of the battery plate for precise operating. The baseplate features a built-in shoulder pad and is compatible with Tilta-standard dovetails. An optional Tilta-standard to ARRI-standard baseplate can be attached to allow you to use ARRI-standard dovetails.

Ports are set at a 45° angle (ideal in case you don't have the AXS-R7 recorder attached, so the ports don't interfere with the ports on the back of the VENICE camera).

Pins on the battery plate directly communicate with the top plate when attached, transferring power output functionality to it.

The top plate can be attached to the base camera.

The cage comes with an extension to the top plate if you have the AXS-R7 recorder attached. This allows the top of the cage to lay across the camera and recorder all the way to the back of the battery plate. This extension piece also provides an extra D-Tap port.
