SmallRig 2144 Reviews

Overall good, not for my setup

By Lukasz
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2025-08-27

Overall, it’s a good product—it just didn’t work for my particular setup. I wanted to use it with my Z9 in a SmallRig cage and mount it to a Manfrotto plate. I didn't like that. To maintain the correct orientation, I couldn’t rely on the built-in Arca-Swiss mount on the SmallRig cage and had to add an extra plate. In the end, I went with the SmallRig Mount Plate Kit (Top Plate for Arca-Swiss and Bottom Plate for Manfrotto-Type), which turned out to be a much better solution for my needs. So, while this product isn’t bad, it simply wasn’t the right fit for my situation.

Low quality design
