SmallRig Hawklock Quick Release Cage for Sony... Reviews

Super low profile, but has all the good stuff

Great cage. The color is really cool, looks very fancy. Like the Arca base, and nato side. Like the neck-strap boss tie-in, but I wish there was another on the right side- I like my cage to be totally immobile. I also wish the top plate was a nato- seems like there could be room if it was done right. But I can just add a little one on there, hard to complain. Otherwise, my new favorite cage!

If I purchase the SmallRig HawkLock Quick Release Cage, do I have to use accessories from the HawkLock ecosystem?
Asked by: Diego
The Hawklock overall is an ecosystem that is designed to offer compatibility with other Hawklock mounts and products like the SmallRig HawkLock Quick Release Cage for Sony a7R V, a7 IV, a7S III, a1, and a7R IV. However, the cage has many mounting points for attaching other gear if required.
