Would love to get confirmation from someone that it also fits the SL(601). Neither B&H or 8Sinn has been able to tell me. Kondor Bkue now offers a cage that fits all SL cameras, but it looks so "kludgey". Is that a word?

[@pangaeamedia.21]

I have the same cage but I use sidehandles for better grip. The camera is heavier then most other cams, so you want to make sure you have a solid grip. When it gets too heavy, I use also minimax which is awesome.

[@boywithacamera]

Side handles are a good idea for sure and oh man minimax sounds heavenly

[@jklphoto]

Thinking about buying this cage. Thanks for the review. Only one screw is needed cuz there are two tabs in the baseplate under the lens. So it can't twist.

[@joeypandabear]

I only got one screw :( LOVE the video!

[@jkdrake1]

you mentioned the Komodo, how is it paired with or compared to the Leica?

[@boywithacamera]

I haven't shot alongside the Komodo with the Leica, but the Komodo raw files are much easier to grade/more robust. It's hard to replicate the Red's gamma curve with the Leica footage I find, though that may be more a limitation of my grading skills!

Would love to see some footage :)

[@boywithacamera]

I'll be putting something together after shooting with it a bit more :) Some really short sample clips at the end in case you missed them just to show the general stability/movement too

[@atjeremy]

@@boywithacamera Awesome!
