Your camera mounts into the formfitting aluminum cage using a 1/4"-20 camera screw and two other locking screws to prevent twisting, and it features an integrated Arca-type base for mounting on a variety of tripod heads and rigs. To add peripherals, it features multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 ARRI-style accessory threads, a NATO rail, a QD (Quick Detach) port, and strap slots.

The HDMI cable clamp protects your HDMI cable from pulling or disconnecting. The top handle provides additional shoe mounts and mounting threads, and the side handle provides additional mounting options and comfortable handheld support to the side of the cage. The monitor mount utilizes a shoe mount and provides tilting adjustments for a monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. Fits snuggly and works great! I love the ability to secure items to any side. It fits really nicely on the camera body without blocking functionality. Very versatile piece of equipment

Durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent addition to my camera gear- as a concert photographer having a steady cage with capabilities of attaching my phone, flash, or mic is so convenient and it’s lightweight enough that I’m not afraid to use it for a few hours at a time!

Yes, the SmallRig HawkLock Quick Release Advanced Cage Kit for Sony a7R V, a7 IV & a7S III shoe mount would be clear. However, with the top handle attached, it would still possibly block certain shotgun mics from operating properly.
