ikan ELE-GH4-C Overview

Mounting your camera into the ELE-GH4-C Cage Kit for Panasonic GH4 from ikan without needing to use a screwdriver is one of the strengths of this formfitting black anodized cage and rod system. Built specifically for the Panasonic GH4, it consists of the camera cage, which allows unobstructed access to the camera's features, connectors, battery, and SD card slot and includes a 15mm rod clamp system with rods. The cage provides 1/4"-20 accessory mounting points, so you can mount available accessories without stressing the camera body.

It features a removable top handle that mounts on top of the cage and is secured by a thumbwheel, so again, no tools needed. You can mount the rubberized top handle facing either forward or backwards, and an integrated cold shoe allows you to mount optional accessories. A removable cable clamp block allows you to secure your cables and helps prevent the cables from accidentally falling out. This makes it easier to connect optional HDMI cables, and you don't have to worry about wearing out or damaging your camera's micro HDMI port by repeatedly plugging and re-plugging a Micro HDMI cable into the camera body. Please note that there are no cables included with the kit. The included 15mm rod clamp baseplate features both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded tripod mounting holes. Included with the kit are two 12"-long 15mm aluminum support rods.

ikan ELE-GH4-C Reviews

Nice cage, great features, but . . .

I really like cage as far as it's solid build, adjusting mechanisms feel nice and secure, access to battery and access to HDMI connections, handle versatility. It gets 5 stars except for one big issue. My GH4 doesn't fit in it. It seems the placement of the 1/4- 20 mounting screw the camera is placed too far to the left (when looking at it from the rear). There's a generous gap between the camera strap fastening nub on the right side, and the left one hits the left wall of the cage when you try to pivot it square. It needs at least 3mm more space on that left side for the camera to sit square. I ended up taking a steel file and filing down the chrome nub about 2mm and it still doesn't fit right. I'm not sure if the manufactured iterations of GH4 models changed in exact width dimensions, but mine sure doesn't fit. If that were to be resolved, I would certainly recommend this cage for the GH4.

Well built, solid cage for the GH4

The ikan GH4 cage is very well made and fits snugly with my GH4. The top handle is comfortable to hold and having the rubber handle separates it from its counterparts which the majority all have cheeseplate top handles. The only drawback to this cage is that when combined with the metabones speedbooster to attach other lenses to the camera, the bottom wheel that lets you screw the camera to the baseplate does scrape along the bottom of the adapter. It fits, but is very tight and would have been nice to have it even 1mm lower so that it does not get in the way of the adapter which most users will surely be using if they are starting to build a rig. Also, the rods that come supplied with it are NOT threaded so you can't extend it like other brands.
