The LanParte Camera Cage with 501-Compatible QR Plate for Z CAM E2-S6/F6/F8 features a Manfrotto 501-compatible baseplate along with a formfitting cage that provides a protective exoskeleton for your camera, protecting it from the rigors of the production day. The cage and camera plate make your Z CAM more accessory friendly, suitable for building it out for tripod, drone, and handheld operation. It features numerous accessory mounting points that allow you to attach optional accessories, such as monitors, mics, articulating arms, and lights, to your rig without stressing your camera's delicate chassis. Integrated ARRI-compatible rosettes on each side of the cage allow you to add optional articulating handgrips of your choice.

Mount your camera on the base plate, which features slots for the two included Allen wrenches, so you can easily move your camera from tripod to other mounting platforms. The aluminum risers and top plate mount on the camera. While protecting your camera, the cage allows access to all functions, as well as the card slots and battery compartment. The 1/4"-20 threaded holes and 3/8"-16 with anti-twist divots are populated along the sides and top of the cage to provide ample mounting opportunities for optional articulating arms of other accessory mounting instruments. A NATO rail on the side of the cage provides additional mounting options for handgrips and handles. A removable cold shoe mounts on top of the cage near the integrated bubble level.
