Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the CCS2434, align the cage with the camera body and secure it firmly using the provided M5 screw around the lens mount. Always ensure the screw is tightened sufficiently but avoid over-torquing, which could damage the threads. The cage is specifically compatible with Sony RX100 VII and RX100 VI models only. For maintenance, keep the aluminum frame free of debris by wiping it down with a dry microfiber cloth. If the wooden grip becomes dirty, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe immediately with a dry cloth to prevent moisture damage to the wood grain.
