This Creator Camera Cage Kit with 15mm LWS Base for Nikon ZR from SHAPE combines a full camera cage with the necessary accessories for building a larger rig. The kit includes the cage, an ultralightweight LWS baseplate with 15mm rod ports, and two 10" 15mm rods.
This Creator Camera Cage from SHAPE provides an adaptable foundation for building out a complete Nikon ZR cinema rig while preserving functionality. CNC-machined from aluminum, the cage secures to the ZR via a 1/4"-20 mounting screw and locking block and wraps around the camera's circumference for reinforced protection and mounting flexibility. Multiple anti-twist 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes with ARRI-style locating patterns support the attachment of monitors, wireless receivers, articulating arms, and other production accessories.
Built-in NATO rails on the top and side enable fast, tool-free mounting of compatible handles and clamps, while the top-mounted cold shoe accommodates microphones, compact lights, or wireless units. The cage incorporates an Arca-Swiss quick release plate that can be attached to the base or side for rapid transitions between tripods, gimbals, and handheld operation, with full compatibility for DJI RS3-series stabilizers. An integrated micro-HDMI and USB-C cable clamp with thumbscrews prevents accidental disconnection during shooting, and the design maintains unobstructed access to the ZR's hot shoe, controls, ports, memory card slots, and battery compartment.
