The Came-TV Protective Cage Bundle combines a cage for your Panasonic GH4 with a variety of accessories to make a fully fitted shooting package. Included with the cage are a removable top handle, a base plate with integrated 15mm LWS rod clamps, 15mm rods, and snap-on follow focus unit with hard stops as well as a 4x4 swing-away matte box with flags, anti-reflection rings, and removable lens gears.

The form-fitting cage helps protect your camera from the rigors of production and provides accessory-mounting points. The cage slides into the baseplate and locks securely in place. The baseplate incorporates 15mm rod clamps set at the LWS standard and also incorporates 1/4"-20 accessory-mounting points. The snap-on follow focus unit features two hardstops, making it suitable for setting up blind focus pulls and for use with endlessly rotating lenses. The 4x4 swing-away matte box includes two filter trays and removable top and side flags. Also included are anti-reflection donuts and removable lens gear rings.

The cage slides into the baseplate for toolless attachment. The baseplate incorporates 15mm LWS rod clamps and provides the correct rod-to-lens-port center height for working with standard rod-mounted lens accessories.

The cage incorporates cable locks that help secure cables to your camera.

Included anti-reflection donuts help prevent light from behind the camera from flaring any filters and degrading your image.

Removable lens gears that you can mount on lenses without gearing allow you to use your follow focus unit with non-cinema-style lenses.
