The Varavon ZEUS Standard Cage for Panasonic GH5 is designed to both protect and add accessories to your Panasonic GH5. The ZEUS Standard GH5 cage consists of a form-fitting camera cradle with one removable handle. Access to the camera's SD card slot, battery compartment, and all controls is maintained while using the cage.

The handle can be mounted on the top or side of the cage, and it may be rotated 90° for a comfortable grip. The ZEUS handle includes a 15mm rod port, 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes, and two cold shoe mounts for mounting items such as microphones, external recorders, French flags, etc. There is a total of three shoe mounts, including one on the cage itself.

The ZEUS Standard Cage includes a lightweight cable clamp that screws into any of the 1/4"-20 holes, preventing a connected cable from accidentally being pulled out while shooting. The camera cage and handle are constructed of durable, lightweight anodized aluminum and steel.

Varavon Zeus Cage Handle

Add extra gripping points to your Zeus cage with this Varavon Zeus Cage Handle. Since the Zeus cages have multiple handle mounting points, this handle can be mounted on the top or the sides of the Zeus cage for different grip styles. Once mounted on the cage's rails, the Zeus Handle can be rotated in 90° increments. This way, you can have a standard top-handle in one configuration and an extra side-handle in another. A 15mm rod mount and two cold-shoe mounts can be used to secure other accessories like an EVF or monitor. The shaft of the handle is tapped with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 holes for more accessory mounting options.

Varavon Cable Clamp

Manage the cables on your camera rig with the Varavon Cable Clamp. The anodized aluminum clamp itself screws into a standard 1/4"-20 thread, and when the red screw is threaded into the clamp, your cables will be secured. The four-prong design allows for multiple cables to run perpendicular to each other

Varavon ZEUS GH5 Reviews

Nice quality but design is lacking

It seems as though using a GH5 with the XLR attachment was never thought about when designing this cage. I did not think going in I would be able to use the handle on top with the XLR unit but even with it off it only fits if you take off the cable holder on the XLR unit. Also when using with the XLR unit the cold shoe becomes useless because the xlr connections are in the way. Another thing is if you want to keep the lens centered over your tripod plate there is only one central screw hole so the cage can twist on the plate. The cage is made of a high quality metal but I would consider other options. I think they rushed the design instead of thinking it through.
