NEEWER Camera Video Cage Film Movie Making Kit, Aluminum Alloy with Top Handle, Dual Hand Grip, Two 15mm Rods, Compatible with Canon Sony Fujifilm Nikon DSLR Camera and Camcorder (Black + Red)

Without being perfect, the build quality of this small rig is good and is easy to put together with or without the instructions. It feels well balanced, but not particularly light, weighing in at 994 grammes: add camera and microphone and you are looking at 2 kilos. The handles have slots at the base so you could fit a strap and help take the load off your arms between takes, but is easy to use. You have about 6 inches/150mm of space for camera and it is enough for my XT2 and battery grip - an important point, because the battery grip has the Headphones connection and additional battery helps with performance. Other cameras have a similar setup and the grip plays an integral part in video-making. You might find a larger Canon and battery grip very snug in the space available. As I said, the build quality is good ans is the finish: the plastic (pink bits in this case) do look and feel a bit cheap, which is a pity as, otherwise, this is first class. There are several threaded holes in the base and top to add other bits and bobs - I have added a cold shoe for mic and you could add a bracket for a video light and the top handle has other positions to fix to if you need to move it out of the way. The rails can accommodate barn doors/french flag/matte box etc. All-in-all a good small rig for video and very good value.

I’ve had his cage now for a few weeks and got a bit of use from it and here’s what: the actual cage is fine and does it’s job fine and it has loads of screw mounts to add things such a monitor. But it has one massive flaw; the rod attachments. The way it’s been designed means you cannot adjust be rods without dismantling the the rod mount since the levers don’t have space to turn. Really, i would not buy this again. I should’ve gone for the steady-cam or the full gear with shoulder stabiliser+follow focus they sell. If it suffers from the same design flaw at least I could set it up once and keep it the same. UPDATE: As it turns out you can fix the flaw in design by turning the bottom plate that holds the rail upside-down. That way you can actually remove the rails using the levers, as opposed to having to remove the entire plate.

My teen son has bought this to add to his camera equipment. He’s says it’s super lightweight and easy to use. It really helps to make the images stable and he’s really pleased with it.

This is a great addon for my video kit for youtube channel. allows me a much steaty shot and the ability to attach so much to the rig too from my 7in field monitor to additional lighting. works very well with my camcorders and my dslr and top handle has 3 postions to keep the balance even when adding more weight. Rods now allow me also to add my V-Mount Battery and plate too.

Overall this is a good, solid frame and top handle for the money. Unfortunately the included bottom part for attaching lens supports seems to be the wrong part. the colours do not match the rest of the frame and the two screw mounts on the part do not align to the frame, so only one screw can be secured not leaving me with much confidence. This product would have scored higher if it wasn't for this fault.

Very easy to setup and offers far more stability for free hand filming. Everything is well thought out and I can even attach the external power to my camera via the battery port without the cage getting in the way.

It’s sturdy but too large so never found any use for it on a day bay day. I’d really like to return but the option isn’t available

I use this with a Canon 5DMk111 with the extra battery grip. It is a very tight fit - but then it holds it securely. Make sure the top bar is in front of the hot shoe - not on it. It is a reasonable weight and does help to have smooth handheld footage. That combined weight is understandably heavy when you are holding it out in front of you - but it does lead to smooth hand held motion footage.

A5RVで使用。専用設計の方が全体的に小さくなって良いと思いがちですが、マイク・ライト・ＬＣＤ等取り付けていくとケーブル取り回し含め余裕のある汎用品の方が自由度が高くて結果使い勝手が良いと思います。 マウント部にクイックプレート付けて動画からスティルに急ぎシフトなんて使い方も簡単にできます！

Used this for my Canon EOS for video and photo shoots. Works amazing. Used immediately after receiving

Auf der Suche nach einem Rig mit vielen Befestigungsmöglichkeiten und ausreichend Platz bin ich auf das Video Cage Kit gestoßen, was vorweg für den Preis völlig in Ordnung ist. Das Set kommt in einem stabilen Karton mit kleinem Werkzeug, Gebrauchsanleitung und Schrauben, sodass man alles selber in kurzer Zeit zusammen bauen kann. Im Prinzip sind es 3 Einzelteile die aneinander geschraubt werden, so lässt sich das Rig auch schnell wieder auseinander schrauben wenn es platzsparend verstaut werden muss. Kompatibilität: Das Rig macht einen stabilen Eindruck, ich habe es sowohl auf meine DSLR Nikon 5100 als auch auf meiner Sony a 7iii befestigt. Die Kamera lässt sich einfach schnell darauf schrauben mit dem Schnell-Verschluss was ziemlich praktisch ist. Auch ergeben sich durch das Rig neue Möglichkeiten zu filmen. So kann man den Cage zum Beispiel am oberen Griff halten und so bequem Szenen von unten bzw. einer tieferen Einstellung filmen. Handling: Das Cage ist nicht zu schwer und liegt dank Handgriffe gut in der Hand, so entstehen ruhigere Videos. Die besten Ergebnisse erzählt man mit Steady Shot und einer Bildstabilisierung im Nachhinein. Das Rig ist allein schon sinnvoll um sein teures Equipment zu schützen, bei einem Sturz kann der Schaden durch die Konstruktion eingedämmt werden. Platzangebot: Jede Menge Platz für Mikro, Monitor etc. auch gibt es einige Befestigungsmöglichkeiten, sodass alles seinen Platz findet. Preis/Leistung: Für den Preis bekommt man ein solides Rig mit jeder Menge Möglichkeiten. Ich benutze es gerne und freue mich schon weitere Videos mit dem Cage zu drehen und es mit Equipment zu erweitern.

Le produit est globalement bon, manque un peu de rigidité, je l'ai installé sur un Canon 5d MkII avec grip batterie Canon d'origine, il rentre juste ce qui est très bien, seul bémol est que sur le grip Canon a la position de l'axe de fixation du trépied qui n'est pas centré horizontalement, il aurait été super d'avoir la possibilité sur la base de ce kit cage de pouvoir centrer horizontalement l'axe de fixation du trépied (trou oblong par exemple) en fonction de la camera installée, Enfin, un bon produit surtout à ce prix.
