  • Seamless transitions between tripods and gimbals
  • Extensive mounting options for lights and microphones
  • Maintains full functionality of all camera ports and doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the cage, align the Canon PowerShot V1 within the frame and ensure the locating blocks on the side and bottom are flush against the camera body. Secure the camera using the provided locking points to eliminate any wobble. The cage is specifically designed for the Canon PowerShot V1 and is not compatible with other models.

For care, wipe the aluminum body with a soft, lint-free cloth. Because the cage features silicone pads, keep the unit away from extreme heat or abrasive solvents that could degrade the material. Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness, especially after long periods of heavy use or travel, to ensure the camera remains firmly seated.
