Advanced Cage Kit for Nikon ZR
Description
Whether this is your A-cam on a micro-budget passion project or just your latest B-cam, the Advanced Cage Kit for Nikon ZR gives you a functional and form-fitting cage – ready for anything.
Forming a rigid rig around your camera, the Advanced Cage Kit for Nikon ZR is the perfect choice for clean rigging.
What's Included:
When only the best will do, the Advanced Cage Kit for Nikon ZR delivers. Assemble this low-profile cage to give yourself rigging freedom, without blocking the functionality of your camera setup – with full access to the ZR’s buttons and inputs. The optional Hand Grip provides comfort for going handheld, whilst external monitors can keep a steady connection via the cable clamp.
Built to last from our high-grade aluminium, the Advanced Cage Kit is the ultimate cage for Nikon ZR shooters.
Quick-Release Convenience
Whether you’re setting up for stills or capturing cinematic B-roll, versatility is key. The included ZR Bottom Plate comes with two industry-standard mounts: a built-in Arca dovetail, and a QD socket. This means that you can sling the camera round your neck with a strap, or clip it into place on a tripod. Whatever the case, you’ll be able to speedily set up and pack down.
Low-Profile, High-Quality
The Advanced Cage Kit is designed to match the shape of the Nikon ZR, making it a convenient and comfortable addition to your rig. The whole cage is made from CNC-machined aluminium: making it rigid and reliable for years to come. With a design contouring to the ZR’s shape, and an anti-twist lip on the front of the Bottom Plate, your cage will keep everything clean.
Gripping Filmmaking
For a more relaxed shoot – where the shot list is mostly handheld – we’ve developed a clean and simple Nikon ZR Cage Hand Grip. Made from a blend of rubber and silicone and mounting to the front of your cage, the Grip strikes a balance between comfort and rigidity. Even the largest of hands or the daintiest of grips will be able to find purchase: meaning you can focus on shooting rather than the feeling of metal digging into your palm.
Full Functionality
The Nikon ZR Cage keeps access to as much of the ZR inputs as possible - but where it needs cover something up, it gives you an alternative. Whether that’s adding additional camera strap loops or adding spring-loaded function buttons to the cage; you’ll be able to shoot without compromise. For outgoing cables, we’ve got a two-in-one HDMI and USB-C Clamp.
A Clean Cage
As for what you’ll actually use the Advanced Cage Kit for, there’s plenty of options. You can fit your ZR with a range of accessories via the 1/4" and 3/8” screw threads; as well as a Cold Shoe mount and M4 points. The bolt-on threads feature both ARRI standard and non-standard anti-twist pin patterns, giving you broader compatibility options with third-party gear.#
