Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Rhinoceros Cage is designed for professional videographers and photographers using Sony Alpha 7 V, 7R V, and 7 IV cameras who require a lightweight yet rugged rigging solution. It provides a significant advantage in mobility and expansion without adding bulk to your camera body. While the integrated carbon fiber construction offers superior rigidity, users should note that the specialized three-point locking system requires careful installation to ensure maximum stability for heavy lens setups.

FAQs

Does this cage work with the Sony battery grip?

No, this cage is designed to fit the camera body specifically and is not compatible with vertical battery grips.

Can I use this with a DJI RS 2 or RS 3 gimbal?

Yes, the built-in Arca-Swiss quick-release plate is compatible with the DJI RS series mounting standards.

What is the weight of the cage?

The cage weighs approximately 180g.

Are the mounting holes threaded for standard accessories?

Yes, it includes standard 1/4"-20 threaded holes and ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes.

Do I need a special tool to install the cage?

You will need a small screwdriver or hex key for the M2.5 side screw, while the bottom 1/4"-20 screw can often be tightened by hand.

Is the NATO rail removable?

No, the NATO rail is integrated into the cage structure for added durability.

Troubleshooting

Camera feels loose in the cage

Verify that all three locking points (1/4"-20 bottom screw, locating pin, and M2.5 side screw) are fully tightened.

Cage prevents access to a specific port

Ensure the cage is positioned correctly; if it still feels obstructed, double-check that no accessories are interfering with the cable path.

Gimbal balance is difficult

Slide the camera on the integrated Arca-Swiss plate to adjust the center of gravity forward or backward until balanced on the gimbal motor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight carbon fiber frame (180g)
  • Comprehensive three-point security prevents camera rotation
  • Full compatibility with DJI RS series gimbals
  • Well-placed mounting points that do not block camera ports

Cons

  • Requires a screwdriver for initial setup of the M2.5 screw
  • Not compatible with battery grips
  • Carbon fiber finish may show scratches more than standard aluminum cages

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the camera into the cage, first align the bottom locating pin with the camera base, insert the 1/4"-20 screw into the tripod mount, and finally secure the M2.5 screw on the side strap eyelet to complete the three-point lock. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent any wiggle. The cage is specifically tailored for the Sony Alpha 7 V, 7R V, and 7 IV, meaning it will not fit other models perfectly. For care, wipe the carbon fiber with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the matte finish over time.
