Camera Cage

by Jakub HanApril 5^th, 2021

The Tilta full camera cage for the Sony a7C protects the camera and offers multiple mounting points – 1/4″-20 threads with locating pins, two cold shoes, and more. Starting at $69, the cage offers a lightweight aluminum body and compatibility with many Tilta accessories and handles.

Announced in September 2020, the a7C is Sony’s most compact full-frame camera. It is, in fact, currently the most compact full-frame camera body after SIGMA fp and fp L. When it comes to the internals, there are many similarities with the Sony a7III – the camera records only 8-bit video up to 4K30 or FHD 120p. Tilta now released a full camera cage for the Sony a7C, so let’s take a look at it.

Tilta Camera Cage for Sony a7C

Tilta full camera cage protects the camera body and adds multiple 1/4″-20 mounting points (many of which have locating pins to prevent rotation), two cold shoe mounts as well as a Rod Attachment Port which supports Tilta’s Single Rod Holders for mounting a 15mm rod to the camera. The base of the cage provides several off-center mounting threads to easily fine-tune the position of the base plate and balance of the setup on a gimbal for example.

Tilta cage includes a Manfrotto Quick Release Plate that allows users to easily mount this cage to any Manfrotto receiver. It also supports Tilta’s 15mm LWS Baseplate as well as a variety of Tilta’s handles such as the Quick Release Top Handle.

The dimensions of the bare aluminum cage are 139 x 94 x 54mm and it weighs 150g. It comes in grey or black color. The front of the cage resembles a “7C” pattern with the diagonal support pillar. Last but not least, the cage is also compatible with a variety of lens adapter supports (such as PL or EF mount).
