The top handle feels comfortable and enables easy carrying and a low-angle shot. 1/4"-20 threaded holes, ARRI 3/8" -16 locating holes, cold shoes and NATO rails QD socket support monitor mount 2294, microphones, LED lights, monitor mount 2903B, NATO accessories. The HDMI cable clamp, mounted onto the left side of the cage via one 1/4"-20 screw, prevents deflection and fixes cables with a thumbscrew to protect interfaces and ensure stable signal transmission.

After fixing the 1/4"-20 screw at the bottom of the cage, remove the anti-deflection pin from the staging hole in the battery compartment position and fix it to the corresponding position.
To use the side lock adapter of the cage, please remove the split ring on the left side of the camera first.
