Be careful when using Peak Design anchors with those cages. Just watched a vid about how a6700 cage almost destroyed someone's camera. Sharp edge mounts cut through cords.

I have the zv1 cage and I just upgraded to the A6700 and I’m hard on my stuff so I bought the cage with it. At first I didn’t know how to take off the strap mount, but then I realized it’s just like a key ring. Installation was a breeze. Looks like I’m gonna be happy with it!!

Phil l have balance issues due to arthritis & if it were not for Smallrig cages my R6 & R7 would both be battered possibly even beyond functional. I would not buy a camera that Smallrig don’t make a cage for.

Fortunately, small rig makes cages for just about everything I think. I’m glad you are able to get some use out of them!

What about the USB cable? Is there any way to protect it like the HDMI with a cable clamp for someone who streams via USB?

Many thanks. You really covered everything. Am just about to order this and was concerned about how it would feel compared to it without the cage.

I just received the 'SmallRig' a6700 cage. IMHO, the improved handgrip is worth the cost of admission. The additional security of a full-cage is really nice. Fit and finish are excellent. Of note is the HDMI cable strain relief mechanism. Simple, but ingenious. Truthfully, the most I'll do with is to add a handle. However, there are a lot of mounting options for just about all the doo-dads you'd want.

All the Sony cages since the zvE1 version have been so so nice. Nothing like the square garbage designs of the past.

Can you still fit a Sony flash to the Multi Interface Shoe with the cage fitted? With the Falcam cage which is similar, the shoe is not itself obstructed but there is not enough clearance at thee front of the show for the bulbous foot of Sony Flashguns

That’s a great question. I do use a third-party flash with the cage attached, but I don’t own a Sony flash to test that for you unfortunately.

how is the EVF with spectacles? being only 1 cm, is it easy to use with spectacles?
@PhilThach
@PhilThach 3 ай бұрын
I don’t know because I don’t use my reading glasses when I looked through the EVF. The EVF and the rear screen are definitely the weakest parts of this camera in my opinion.

Good review. New to SONY Cameras and have never used a gage before so this sounds like something that would be interesting to use. I use mine in a shop doing wood working so having protection would be great. I need to find out more about the basic operation of the camera, such as what type of cable and how to use it for the hdmi you talked about coming out of the camera.

Thanks for the review Phil! I own a few cages and use them mostly on cameras for video. Your use case is one I didn't really think of. You get the L Bracket functionally plus all of the other advantages you outlined. Thanks for all of the info. Cheers.
