SmallRig Cage for Nikon Z Series Cameras Reviews

Easy assembly and clean fit

Used with my Nikon Z6 and the fit is perfect. The added touch of having a latch opening near the battery compartment is super smart. Obviously needed, but well engineered. Used it to help rig with the SmallRig follow focus system and it works great! Cage is super light and durable.
