The LanParte Universal Camera Cage with 501-Compatible QR Plate and Top Handle integrates a Manfrotto 501-compatible baseplate system within the cage, making it easy to slide your camera in and out for lightweight, stripped-down operation. The aluminum cage provides a protective exoskeleton for your camera, protecting it from the rigors of production. The included top handle provides an ergonomic grip for low-angle shots or carrying the camera. The handle attaches to a removable NATO rail that you can mount on the top and the sides of the cage. Together, the cage and top handle feature numerous accessory mounting points that allow you to attach optional accessories, such as monitors, mics, articulating arms, and lights, to your rig without stressing your camera's delicate chassis.
Mount your camera on the baseplate and slide that into the cage. An adjustable tension lever lock secures the plate into the cage, keeping your camera secure and protected. While protecting your camera, the cage allows access to all the functions, as well as the card slots and battery compartment. The 1/4"-20 threaded holes along the sides and top of the cage provide ample mounting opportunities for optional articulating arms of other accessory instruments. The 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes with anti-twist divots are located, one each, on the top of the cage and the side. A single built-in cold shoe on top allows additional accessory mounting.
