ikan Stratus Complete Cage for Sony a7R IVa
By Peter
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-03-14
I'm very pleased with this cage for my A7RIVa, but am a little disappointed by just one aspect of it. When accessories are added to the cage for movie-making, it is quite challenging to access the camera controls that are on its top plate! Therefore, one needs to remember to set those controls before mounting the body into the cage! Otherwise, this cage allows me to comfortably use a host of accessories that I used to use with my Sony FS7 (now sold): Teleprompter, Atomos Shogun, MixPre audio mixer, Shotgun Mic and a rod-mounted V-mount battery. I normally record audio to a Zoom F8 that is not mounted on this rig, but is shared with other video cameras that are used concurrently (Z150 and A7R III). In fact, I am very likely to purchase a second one of these cages as a upgrade for the one I use with the A7R III, also believing that it will fit the A7R IV that I hope to purchase before the end of this year.
