We already had the smaller version of the just announced Accsoon Power Cage Pro in for review (check it out here). This larger version supports a full-size 12.9” Apple iPad Pro and turns it into a set-compatible piece of equipment that you can work with all day (as a display in conjunction with a wireless video transmitter for example).

The Accsoon Power Cage is a pretty straightforward, yet very handy product. It’s essentially a cage for an Apple iPad, but with a twist. It also sports a Sony NP-F battery mount and with that, you can pretty much power your iPad all day long with one or two batteries.

Accsoon Power Cage Pro

The new -bigger- version of the Accsoon Power Cage wraps a 12.9” iPad Pro in a rugged precision-cut aluminum alloy casing that offers robust protection and yet weighs just 420g. Furthermore it sports a bunch of industry-standard 1/4″-20 threads for mounting the iPad to almost anything. You also could attach handgrips to both sides and transform it into a director’s monitor.

But the new Pro model also sports a built-in desk stand that allows the iPad to be stood conveniently on a suitable flat surface. The built-in dampening of the stand mechanism means it can be placed at the perfect angle for viewing.

Included with the cage comes a USB-A to USB-C and a USB-A to Lighning cable for connecting the 12,9″ iPad Pro to the NP-F battery.
