FAQs
What makes the Rhinoceros cage different from the standard cage?
The Rhinoceros version integrates carbon fibre into the structure, reducing overall weight by around 20% while increasing resistance to corrosion and deformation. It retains the strength of aluminium and steel but feels slightly lighter in hand, particularly noticeable on longer handheld sessions.
How secure is the camera inside the cage?
The cage uses a three-point anti-twist locking design to prevent movement between the camera and cage. This keeps heavier lenses and mounted accessories stable, especially when using follow focus systems or external monitors.
What mounting options are available?
The cage offers multiple 1/4"-20 and ARRI-style 3/8"-16 anti-twist threads for attaching arms, monitors or audio accessories. It also includes a top cold shoe, a side NATO rail, a QD socket and strap slots, providing flexibility for different rig configurations.
Does the cage affect camera handling?
The form-fitting design wraps closely around the body, including around the handgrip, without blocking access to buttons, ports or the hot shoe. The integrated Arca-type baseplate allows direct mounting to compatible tripod heads or gimbals without adding an extra plate.
Is this cage suitable for tripod-based work as well as handheld?
Yes. The built-in Arca-type baseplate supports direct tripod mounting, while the reinforced construction maintains rigidity when supporting heavier setups. This makes it practical for switching between supported and handheld shooting.
