Camvate Half Cage on Lumix G85

By Kerry
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-12-05

Purchased the Camvate universal half cage for my Lumix G85 so I could attach a field monitor and mic to camera without overloading camera's hot shoe. I used the small rod included with the kit to build the cage. The cage fits well and is solid. I used the long rod to attach my mic using the included cold shoe mount. To complete the rig I purchased a 2-pack of small rig cold shoe mounts and a small rig monitor mount. Installation of the cage took about 10-minutes because the cage was a little fiddly to get square with the camera. I connected a tripod base plate to the bottom of the cage giving me the ability to quickly remove the rig and shoot hand held. Very happy with the purchase.

Literally amazing. I bought this cage for my Canon 70D to try out something thatll hopefully give me a bit more stability and to be able to use an external monitor and mic and it worked better than what I thought. It holds up incredibly well, nothing loosens nor falls off and provides a GREAT amount of support for items and good sense of stability when filming. This is definitely being used every time I go film.

question

Can this cage be attached to a shoulder rig? Would it be by rods or by quick release mount? Thank you.
Asked by: Ben J.
Yes it can be. This cage has 1/4 -20 threads on the bottom of it which will allow you to mount it to a quick release plate. Or you could use a 15mm Rod Bridge Adapter if you want to connect it to 15mm Rods.https://bhpho.to/2IL70Lw

Does this fit a fuji xt3 with the battery grip. It's about 14 cm??
Asked by: Morten
This cage comes with 2 Cheese Rods to adjust the height of clearance. The taller of the two is 5.7 inches which is 14.48 cm. It will just clear that height.

You can to about 4 1/2" in height. I use mine on a small video camera and sometimes a gopro with accessories. It's a great way to shoot video with two hands stabizing.
