I purchased that Kondor Blue cage, and found it to be too wiggly. I'm using a Small Rig cage on my Sony A7S II now, and kept the handle from the Kondor Blue cage. Still its awkward attaching the XLR-K3M sound add-on to the Sony. Why no one who is reviewing the A7SII uses that device? I would like the Alpha 1 better, because the handle with the XLR inputs looks stronger, similar to my 15yo Sony camcorder. No need for a cage.

Your content is very well done. I sit here watching on my 60” Hdtv snd wonder how much more enjoyable the content will be when i can see you in 8k. I have a suspicion that comparing the the REAL benefits of the new expensive equipment constantly pushed by KZbinrs is Nil. Its not like we are going to see videos produced with this equipment that can benefit from it. 4k, 8k, 120 fps….. and what do we see? Walking heads, blurred background of someplace and more skateboards. I think from a purely technical point of view that this stuff is great but for Joe Average all these advances are a huge waste of money and time. I do love to watch your channel though!!
