Nice cage, But QD is questionable

By michael
Rated 3 out of 5

I purchased the cage and handle to hold low while shooting out of a safari vehicle. Perfect, but the cage QD connector is very tight, does not swivel well and just doesn't feel right. Biggest concern is that it is not fully seated. Using a Kirk QD. Rated the item 3 stars due to the QD and based on other QD acceptable devices. The actual setup is a 5 Star.

Perfect fit, solid cage

Fits the z8 liek a glove. Lots of mounting options. I had thought of using my other Smallrig handles but this top handle allows you to balance over the top centered vs being too far back on it.

A cage, such as the Smallrig Handheld Camera Cage Kit for Nikon Z8, could be mounted vertically, when using one of the side 1/4" screw threads and then mounting them to a tripod in a vertical fashion.
