Review: A must for my Sony A7IV - Do you need a camera cage? I asked myself this question a lot and I finally answered myself with a yes and made the purchase. It's been on my camera ever since. I think my thoughts at first regarding camera cages were that it would be intrusive and bulky and I would just end up taking it off and not using it. But that is not the case at all. I love having it on my camera and it never comes off. I don't just use it for video either. I leave it on even when I am just taking photos. I mean, the arca swiss bottom gives me the ability to mount it to a tripod whenever I need to. My Sony A7IV also sits flat when I set it down. The normal tripod mounts don't span the entire bottom of the camera so it doesn't sit flat. With this cage, I can set it down flat without worrying about it not sitting level. I love it! The cage is so versatile. I can add a top handle, a side handle, a screen, a portable light, a microphone, there are sooooo many options that having this cage opens for you. I typically have a microphone and my top handle but I could just as easily take the handle off and pop it right on my gimbal as well or right on my tripod. The cage itself is high quality metal and fits the camera well. I like the added protection of having the cage on the camera in the event I accidently dropped the camera. I feel like it adds that extra layer of protection. I also don't mind the little battery door either. I know some people say it's inconvenient but it doesn't bother me to have to move a little metal piece out of the way to swap batteries. It's also very lightweight as well. It doesn't add much in the sense of weight which is nice because I have some pretty heavy lenses and I like to trim off weight wherever I can afford it. I was going to go with a half cage but I’m happy I ended up opting for the full cage. I feel like having the additional side mounting options really increases its versatility. Smallrig makes nice gear and their options are fantastic for their camera cages and attachments for the camera cages. I really like the smallrig ecosystem and am very satisfied with this camera cage.
Review: Even fits the new A7V - Build quality is great and it feels nice and sturdy. Love that it comes with its own tool for installation and is even magnetic on the bottom so you don't lose it. Love the design with multiple mount points for customization and the fact that it doesn't add too much bulk to the camera body while giving a bit of extra protection.

## Features

- Improved Design: 1. Built-in cold shoe mount improved at the upper right corner of the cage allows for attaching devices for DJI Mic 2 or LED Video light. 2. Locating block improved at the side of the cage, with position pin and the 1/4"-20 screw at the bottom, three points locking allows for anti-deflection fixation. 3. A “HawkLock” NATO rail is added at the side, which allows for quick attachment of “HawkLock” accessories such as side handles (ID 4485), top handles (ID 4483).
- For Sony A7R V / A7 IV / A7S III / A1 / A7R IV / A7 V: SmallRig Cage 3667C is designed for Sony A7R V, A7 IV, A7S III, A1, A7R IV, A7 V to protect the camera while offering a wide range of accessory mounts. NOTE: This cage is compatible with the cable clamps for HDMI included in cage kits (ID 4538, 4539) but is not compatible with the cable clamp for HDMI(ID：3000) from cage kits (ID 3668B, 3669C).
- Multiple Mounting Points: The cage includes 1/4"-20 threaded holes, 3/8"-16 locating holes for ARRI, and a “HawkLock” NATO rail for quick attachment of accessories like side handles (ID 4485) and top handles (ID 4483). A built-in cold shoe mount allows for attaching devices for DJI Mic 2 or lights, while a QD socket at the base accommodates shoulder straps for enhanced portability. The base is also equipped with a magnetic Allen wrench, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly.
- Three-Point Locking: A side locating block improved, with positioning pin and the 1/4"-20 screw at the bottom of the cage form a three-point locking, allowing for anti-deflection fixation without removing the camera’s eyelet triangles. Three-point locking mechanism ensures secure camera attachment for stable footage.
- All-Round Protection: Built-in pads to offer all-around protection and prevent scratches. With the cage installed, the camera interface, dials, buttons and changing batteries are not affected. The opening and closing wrench design is added to the position of the battery compartment, which fits the curve of the fuselage more, solves the problem of placing the little finger, and enhances the grip of the fuselage.
- Built-in Quick Release Plate: The bottom quick release plate for Arca enables seamless transitions between handheld, tripod, and gimbal setups, which is compatible for DJI RS 2 / RSC 2 / RS 3 / RS 3 Pro / RS 4 / RS 4 Pro / RS 4 Mini Stabilizer. Also, the bottom quick release plate, paired with the “HawkLock” H38 quick release mount plate for Arca-Swiss(ID 4486), allows for rapid slide-in attachment with an auto-locking mechanism.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A7V secured
*by L***. on March 21, 2026*

Purchased for my Sony A7V and it fits perfectly. It was easy to put on. It took less than 2 minutes to secure with an included tool that comes magnetically at the bottom of the cage. Now I feel super comfortable using it outside and in various gigs. It doesn’t add much weight to the camera and it adds an extra layer of grip as well. The design is functional allowing you to really rig it with other small rig accessories. It’s super versatile for any scenario. The value for this is outstanding and you probably wouldn’t have to buy another cage at all!
