NEEWER CA016T 汎用型カメラケージ &トップハンドルセット

As an ex professional stills photographer but first time filmmaker, I have been looking on the market for a more affordable way to stabilise video footage from my full frame but quite old Nikon D750. I mainly shoot music videos so stability but handheld flexibility were the most important aspects when looking for a camera cage. Expensive electronic gimbals whilst desirable are too expensive for my budget, but whilst shopping around, this cage caught my eye, and so did the price.First off, As I've recently found, balancing the cage becomes a very important key when you're shooting handheld. No problem there as this NEWEER camera cage has dual grips to provide a comfy but solid grip, reducing aching hands after long shoots.Also if you're shooting videos with your DSLR or mirrorless camera, you'll soon find how crucial stability is. And for stability and comfort this camera cage and top handle from NEEWER could be the beating heart as the foundation for your perfect rig setup.If you're planning to shoot on a tripod, no worries – it's got both size screw mounting holes on the bottom for tripod quick release plates. and as the cage is easily modified and will work with any quick release plate system.A big bonus for those with large and slightly older Full frame DSLR camera bodies is this cage's compatibility with a wide range of cameras, such as Nikon f mount and Canon EOS, plus newer and more compact mirrorless Sony A7 series and Panasonic Lumix cameras. It's a solid foundation, for practically any size DSLR but to make it complete, you might want to consider adding a few extra fittings...One thing you might find handy is a monitor attachment. This rig has multiple mounting points, so you can easily attach a monitor for better visibility while shooting. Plus, it's got cold shoe mounts, so you can also add things like LED lights, microphone, v mount battery plates as You'll want to make sure your camera stays juiced up for those long shooting sessions.This cage is solidly built but also lightweight, so you shouldn't feel too bogged down by heavy equipment, nor much issue with comfort. (at least so far, i haven’t)One suggestion would be to include some extra cheese plates and screws with the kit to give you more options for customizability on your first set up, to avoid ordering extras when you need quick mounting options. NEWEER could of thrown those in at no real cost to themselves i don’t imagine. But that's a minor gripe, and these are easy to purchase after.Overall, this camera cage and handle combo is a great option for beginner videographers looking to achieve stability without breaking the bank on an electronic gimbal. With a few extra fittings and components, you can customise this camera cage to suit your needs and take the stability of your video shoots to the next level.
