Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, align your Nikon camera body within the cage frame and secure it using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the cable clamp is positioned to align with your camera’s specific port layout before tightening.

Compatibility is strictly limited to the Nikon Z5, Z5 II, Z6, Z6 II, Z7, and Z7 II series. When cleaning, avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could damage the leather inlay or the gold-tone plating. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from the aluminium surfaces, and if necessary, a slightly damp cloth for the leather components. Regularly check that all mounting screws are tight before every shoot to ensure safety.
