Build up your DSLR or mirrorless camera for professional video and cinema production with Wooden Camera's Unified DSLR Cage. The cage itself surrounds your camera on three sides, adding a measure of protection to mirrorless cameras like Sony's a7 series and Panasonic's GH series, as well as smaller DSLR cameras like Canon's Rebel line and Nikon's D3000, D5000, and D7000 lines. 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes line the top and sides of the cage for securing accessories such as articulating arms. The top of the cage leaves the space above the camera's accessory shoe unobstructed for mounting audio accessories, such as XLR adapters. An HDMI cable clamp is integrated with the cage's vertical post to protect the camera's HDMI port from cable snags, as well as all necessary mounting screws and an articulating wooden top handle.

Included with the cage, the reversible top handle has a wooden handgrip which provides additional ways to comfortably handhold your camera. A cold shoe at the top can be used to mount a microphone, monitor, or other camera-top accessory. The handle folds down when packing your bag and can be alternately secured onto the left vertical rod for a secondary grip.

The base of the cage is a Manfrotto quick release dovetail which can directly secure your camera to Manfrotto standard quick release plates and tripod heads. Quick release functionality works the same as existing Manfrotto plates. Simply turn the thumbscrew and depress the release pin to slide the plate backward out of the base.

A built-in lens adapter support system is integrated into the base. This provides extra security when attaching lens adapters with 1/4"-20 threads on the bottom, like the separately available Wooden Camera PL adapters and most Metabones adapters.

With the seamless addition of Wooden Camera's Unified DSLR 15mm Baseplate, you can add 15mm LWS rods for accessorizing your DSLR or mirrorless camera. Additionally, the Baseplate adds ARRI dovetail compatibility while maintaining all quick release functionality of the DSLR cage itself.
