Rig up your Sony Alpha a6300, a6400, or a6500 digital camera with this Formfitting Cage from SmallRig. With its full-frame design this cage protects your camera while providing numerous 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and ARRI locating holes for mounting accessories. You can use the cage's mounting points to customize your setup with your choice of optional accessories such as a wooden handle, monitor, microphone, light, cold shoe, cable clamp, lens adapter support, and more.

The cage connects to your camera via a 1/4"-20 screw on the bottom, and uses an M2.5 thread on the right side as a second locking point to prevent camera wiggle. There are several 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the bottom for mounting the cage on a separately available tripod plate. An included flat head screwdriver makes for quick installation and attaches to the bottom of the cage. On the right side there are slots for attaching an optional carry strap.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How do I attach it to my tripod?

A: Hello,There are three 1/4-20 mounting holes in the bottom of the base that can be used for mounting to a tripod. Alternately, you could mount a 15mm dovetail plate to your tripod, and slide the cage onto that. I recommend the TT-C16 or TT-C16-A7 for the dovetail plate, as this cage requires that the plate have raised edges to accommodate the tripod-mounting section of the base.
