SHAPE Cage for Sony a7R III / a7 III

The SHAPE Cage for Sony a7R III / a7 III is targeted at filmmakers, videographers and photographers seeking a simple, hassle-free and ergonomic cage design.

Developed specifically for the Sony a7R III camera, this form-fitting cage offers additional protection and a secure mounting platform for the camera. It also provides easy access to all controls and ports, as well as multiple attachment points for accessories. For handheld shooting, the side 15mm rod clamps (located at the back of the cage) are designed for quickly securing accessories (e.g., ergonomic Mini Push-Button Wooden Side Handles with Padded Straps) using a single ratchet knob on each side (sold separately).

The cage enables easy access to all of the camera’s features such as the control buttons, the side outputs, the memory card, the battery compartment and the lens release button, saving time while shooting. Furthermore, the support between the lens and the camera grip is designed to anticipate clearance for the fingers when the camera is handheld, allowing an ergonomic grip.

This ergonomic cage is easy to assemble and disassemble and the components don’t need to be removed to install the camera, which is fixed with a 1/4"-20 captive slotted base screw integrated into the cage (via the threaded hole underneath it). The position is secured with the back and sides of the cage, preventing the camera from shifting forward when equipped with a heavier lens. You can also attach a delta adapter plate beneath the cage to mount it on a quick release plate for rapid transitions from a tripod to a handheld setup.

Additionally, all the doors and latches are fully operable when the camera is mounted inside the cage. The easy-to-use design enables you to operate the camera without having to remove the cable doors, and the strap hooks can remain attached to the camera while inserted in the cage. It is also equipped with an effective cable retention system for all three of the left-side cables. The cage is also compatible with a full-sized HDMI cable protector lock (not included) to secure the use of your HDMI 4K cable. With full access to the hot shoe on the top of the camera, you can mount many accessories. There are two cold shoe mounts located on the top of the cage, as well as many SHAPE Standard 1/4"-20 anti-rotating hole patterns, ARRI Standard 3/8"-16 anti-rotating hole patterns, and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes.

Constructed from CNC machined aluminum, the cage allows the camera to be held securely in place and restricts it from rotating by being attached with two anti-rotating tabs at the front. The cage is also compatible with the Sony XLR-K2M audio unit (sold separately), thus providing great sound for your videos. It also features an ARRI Standard Rosette that can be mounted in four different locations.
