Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig HawkLock Quick Release Cage Kit 5198 is designed for Sony A7C II and A7CR users who require a high-stability, ergonomic setup for professional video production. This kit provides comprehensive camera protection and an integrated silicone handle for improved comfort during long shoots, while its patented HawkLock system allows for rapid accessory deployment. While it significantly enhances rig versatility and handling, the cage adds a small amount of weight and bulk to the camera body compared to its native form factor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Align the camera with the two locating blocks and insert it into the cage. Use the included magnetic wrench to secure the 1/4"-20 screw at the base.
Cable Management: Attach the HDMI clamp to the left side of the cage using the thumbscrew to protect your camera’s port.
Compatibility: Compatible specifically with Sony A7C II and A7CR. The bottom plate supports DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, and RS 4 Pro.
Maintenance: Regularly check that all screws remain tight. Use a damp microfiber cloth to clean the silicone handle. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the aluminum finish or the quick-release locking mechanism.
