SmallRig Camera Cage only for Sony A6000 A6300 ILCE-6000 ILCE-6300 NEX7, A6000 Cage with 1/4" 3/8" Mounting Points and Built-in Cold Shoe - 1661

First off, I love SmallRig. They have the best prices on camera rig accessories and are still able to maintain incredible quality and are constantly refining and improving their product line. I have purchased many of their other rig accessories as I expand my set-up and each is incredibly well made and suited to it's purpose. I bought this camera cage for my A6300 and it fits perfectly and allow for mic, handle and should mount to be attached with many options for changing positioning due to the many attachment screw holes. My only small grip is that with a single attachment point for the camera to the cage, the cage can move right or left a bit if not screwed in very tightly. This is more the fault of all camera designs. I don't know who came up with the "one screw" concept for camera mounts but it probably could have been thought out better. I came up with a solution which is to go to your local hardware store and get some short headless hex screws and you can lightly dip the tip in some shoe goo so it doesn't scratch your camera and then screw them through the cage until they are in contact with the camera. If you do this on both sides it will keep the camera from possibly moving a bit in the cage. Perhaps SmallRig could make these screws as they take consumer ideas and turn them into products -- another great aspect of the company. Look forward to their future innovations in cinema rig equipment.

SmallRig is a great company to deal with; high quality design and build, always fits correctly, and looks great. Best product for the money. I'm also happy that they support the older camera models !

Perfect if you're on the go with your camera a lot and/or need more mounting points for it for things like lights, microphones, external display, etc. On top of that, the cage surrounds your camera to do its main job, protect it. I have a sling belt to carry my camera when I'm not actively holding it and the mount that was attached to the camera (protip: use blue thread locker on all of your camera threads) came loose and the camera fell from about 3 1/2 feet high. Somehow, my camera and the lens surprisingly survived the fall on a granite hotel floor and I thank this cage for not losing a camera, especially during a convention I normally document over 1000 or so shots. But there's plenty of places to screw in what you need for your loadout and you're doing yourself a disservice of not having this if you more than casually take photos. Recommended.

I wish I had kept the camera that goes with this cage. Amazing fit! Feels very solid and protective.

OMG this thing is genius! First it's gorgeous and uniquely looking. Heavy duty -- it does add some weight to an already lightweight camera a6300 but so worth the peace of mind it adds Fits great on my tripod People constantly stop me to ask what it is bc it looks great on the camera Con Wish they made it to protect the back part of the camera more. Maybe they make a full cage and I don't know it, but the one I got for my a6300 didn't offer any protection for the backside view screen Sometimes the screw on the bottom becomes loose. Maybe im not tightening it up well enough but it is noticeable before it falls off/ gives you ample warning time to tighten. I just now carry a coin in my camera bag to tighten when I need to Still love it... worth every dollar 10x over.

This saved my Sony a6000 from ruin at least once when it dropped on the concrete outside due to my error in not fully tightening the camera to the tripod. The frame is sturdy and I can say from experience that it works as intended. The a6000 isn't exactly a sturdy camera itself in build quality, and I'm sure many of us have some big, heavy lenses that might put stress on this camera body. I don't use mics or other things, but the cold shoe is a nice thing to have and so are the numerous holes for installing other accessories. The camera fits tight into the frame and there were no issues for me in installing my tripod's arca-Swiss mounting plate on the bottom. And the price is hard to complain about. Now for my only complaint: I'm a professional real estate photographer who uses speed lights with wireless triggers daily, but I can't use my Yongnuo flash trigger, or even the flash itself, on the camera because the top of the SmallRig cage sits too high and prevents me from sliding the trigger into the hot shoe. There just is no clearance. While I got around this by installing the trigger in the hot shoe backwards, it now obstructs my view of the screen unless I tilt it just so, and it's difficult to tighten and loosen it from the hot shoe when mounted this way. To work 100% properly you're better off buying a hot shoe extension, but your mileage may vary depending on how much you use the hot shoe for flash triggers and how much you want to spend extra money on an item that allows you to use hot shoe accessories without installing them improperly--I don't know if other accessories will even work by installing them backwards. This would be a five-star review if not for the hot shoe difficulties. Otherwise, I don't regret the purchase.

Perfect for my Sony A6. I like how it turned out. It has different mounting points for different accessories .

There's not much to dislike about this product, my Sony a6300 loves this thing and so do I. This makes my camera look much more professional, my only complaint is that they don't include the grip for the front. I have medium sized hands so grabbing it isn't an issue, it just looks better with a hand grip. I went and had a custom 3D printed hand grip made. If you Google Sony a 6300 hand grip you'll find it and you can order it. I'm very satisfied with my purchase, I feel like this makes my camera look much more professional as well. If you're looking to start building a rig start here.

Ajuste perfecto a la Sony a6000, una gran calidad de la aleación, el acabado y el diseño. Cuenta con múltiples orificios para los tornillos (que se venden por separado) para colocar micrófonos, lámparas, pantallas y lo que se les ocurra. El peso aumenta considerablemente por lo que quizá no sea adecuado para giroscopios pero sí para tripie.

Good quality cage!

what can I say? is a great piece of hardware... solid as a rock .beautiful design for my is a safe way to install a lot of devices for my needs... fits perfectly and you can have access to any door or even the flash... protects your valuable camera and also makes look cool!

protects your cam buy it

Perfect! Fits my Sony a6000 as it should, leaving access to all the ports and controls. In addition, it protects the camera and keeps your hands away from it, allowing the camera to function cooler during a video shoot. It helped my Sony a6000 to run in video mode for 30 minutes non stop for the first time. But I'll be doing more tests on that. Shipping was supper fast for this item shipped from Canada, but an accessory handle I ordered is being shipped from China and may take as long as a month. Not good as it already shipped and I can't change the shipped mode.
