FAQs

Does this cage allow access to the C200 battery and card slots?

Can I attach a monitor directly to the top handle?

Is the wooden handle removable?

What is the total weight of the cage setup?

The complete bundle weighs approximately 1.27 kg.

Are the 15mm rods included?

Is the cage compatible with other camera models?

Troubleshooting

Camera feels loose inside the cage

Verify that all four captive screws are fully tightened and properly aligned with the camera body mounting points.

Top handle feels unstable when extended

Check the locking mechanism on the handle extension and ensure the hex bolts are tightened properly.

Rod system height is misaligned with lens

Ensure the baseplate is seated flat against the camera bottom and verify that you are using the specific rod blocks designed for the C200 optical center.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, robust CNC aluminum construction
  • Excellent ergonomic design with real maple wood grip
  • Highly adjustable balance for different lens setups
  • Includes essential 15mm rod support out of the box
  • Multiple mounting points for monitors and recorders

Cons

  • Adds significant weight to the base camera package
  • Requires Allen keys for initial setup and cage adjustments
  • May require re-balancing gimbals due to extra rig footprint

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, align the camera body with the cage frame and secure it using the four captive screws provided. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent twisting. The 15mm rods slide into the rod block system and are tightened with the integrated locking knobs. For maintenance, keep the CNC aluminum clean by wiping it with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents on the maple wood handle, as these can strip the finish. Periodically check the tightness of the cage screws, especially when switching between handheld and gimbal configurations, to ensure the camera remains firmly seated at all times.
