Tilta TA-T18 Overview

Add protection, handheld operation, and additional accessories to your Sony a7S III mirrorless camera with this Tactical gray Tiltaing Lightweight Kit from Tilta. The kit includes a formfitting camera half cage, a NATO rail attachment, a shoe mount attachment, and a left-side wooden handle with quick release cage attachment.

The half cage provides multiple 1/4"-20 accessory threads around three sides, an integrated shoe mount, and multiple 1/4"-20 tripod mounting threads, and it leaves the right-side camera handgrip and all ports and controls with open access. The left-side handle adapter mounts onto the cage with 1/4"-20 screws, and the NATO rail is then used in its NATO clamp. The left-side handle can then mount onto that NATO rail and be mounted and released quickly. The shoe mount adapter mounts onto the top of the handgrip for an additional accessory mounting point.

Tilta Half Camera Cage for Sony a7S III (Tactical Gray)

In a three-sided design that leaves the camera handgrip fully accessible, the Tilta Half Camera Cage for Sony a7S III, in tactical gray, provides one shoe mount and several 1/4"-20 accessory threads, allowing you to attach mics, lights, articulating arms, and other devices and accessories. On the bottom of the cage, there are multiple 1/4"-20 threads that allow you to find the optimal balance for your camera when mounting on tripods, gimbals, and other supports.

I love this cage, but it flexes quite a bit. Also, the red rosette that holds the top handle came loose an is a pain to tighten if you even can get it right.

What size Arca Swiss mount do I need to fit the included Arca Swiss Plate?
Asked by: Brian
No this answer is incorrect, the B&H staff member mistakenly thinks that this is an Arca compatible baseplate, Arca is 38mm, this dovetail is 45mm. I have this same clamp, it only opens to 42.5mm, so it does not open wide enough.

The included baseplate measures 45mm in width (Arca is 38mm) since there are no Arca compatible clamps that open wider than 41-43mm, what type of clamp is needed for this particular dovetail, since it isn't Arca compatible?
Asked by: Brian
For the Tilta A7SIII cage you have the choice of plate styles. Tilta's own Arca and Manfrotto QR plate that is natively compatible with the cage. ARCA: https://bhpho.to/3LM2yNC Manfrotto: https://bhpho.to/3r5UijI

Would this fit the Sony A7 II?
Asked by: Daniel
The Tilta Half Camera Cage for Sony a7S III (Black) may work with the Sony a7 II Mirrorless Camera, which is very close but not exactly the same size as the Sony a7S III Mirrorless Camera. If you would like to get a cage you know for sure will work with your camera I would recommend the SmallRig Accessory Kit for Sony a7 II, a7R II, and a7S II Cameras (BH #SM2014D).
