Product Information
Full details
The SmallRig 4261 Camera Cage is a precision-engineered accessory designed for Nikon Z f owners who need enhanced grip, robust protection, and expanded mounting options for professional video and photography setups. It is ideal for filmmakers and content creators looking to stabilize their handheld shots or attach multiple peripherals like monitors and microphones while maintaining full access to the camera's controls and battery compartment. One notable caveat is that the integrated ebony handle features a unique natural wood grain, meaning the aesthetic appearance of your specific unit may vary slightly from marketing imagery.

Troubleshooting
Camera feels loose inside the cage
Ensure both the bottom 1/4"-20 screw and the side M2.5 screw are fully tightened using the provided tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the cage, align the Nikon Z f inside the frame, ensuring the rubber pads are flush against the camera body to prevent scratches. First, secure the 1/4"-20 screw on the base, then install the M2.5 screw on the side to complete the anti-twist connection. Use the included double-ended wrench to tighten both securely.
This cage is compatible with most Arca-type tripod heads and the DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, and RS 3 Pro gimbals. To care for the cage, wipe the aluminum frame with a dry microfiber cloth. Since the handle is made of natural ebony, avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals to preserve the wood's finish and integrity over time.
