Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig 3195 Cage is a dedicated protective housing designed specifically for the Nikon Z9 camera, ideal for videographers and photographers who need to attach multiple accessories while maintaining camera stability. Its key benefits include versatile mounting points, integrated Arca-Swiss compatibility, and enhanced protection against wear and tear. One caveat to keep in mind is that the cage adds a noticeable amount of weight and physical bulk to the camera body, which may be cumbersome for those prioritizing a lightweight setup.

FAQs

Does this cage block the battery door?

No, the cage is designed to allow full access to the battery door and essential camera ports.

Can I use a neck strap with this cage?

Yes, but you may need to use a split ring or strap attachment point compatible with the cage design, as the camera's original strap lug is used for the anti-twist mechanism.

Is this cage made of plastic?

No, the cage is constructed from high-grade aluminum alloy and stainless steel for maximum durability.

What tools do I need for assembly?

All necessary tools are included; a magnetic slotted screwdriver and an Allen wrench are built directly into the base of the cage.

Can I mount a matte box to this cage?

Yes, you can use the 1/4"-20 threads on the front of the cage to attach a 15mm Rod Clamp, which in turn supports matte boxes and follow-focus units.

Troubleshooting

Camera feels loose or wobbles inside the cage

Ensure both the bottom 1/4"-20 screw and the side shoulder strap lock are fully tightened.

Cannot attach my gimbal quick-release plate

Verify that your plate is mounted using the dedicated 1/4"-20 holes on the bottom of the cage designed for DJI RS 2/RSC 2.
