Hey there, yeah for clarity I should have put it in during the example, I was in a rush. But in my opinion it still has more flex than the Tilta, particularly along the top and side.
I have the smallrig cage you show and the Battery Grip Cage.. Both where frustrating to use and by the looks the Tilta one could present a lot of problems as well. They both block the lense release button for a start. On the other hand I purchased the Kondor Blue R5C cage, should have done that from the get go. Super rigid, zero twisting, the lense release is easy to access. Very well thought out.. I only ran into issues when I brought the Cotton Carrier Vest (Super Awesome) because the arcus plate they supply does not exactly match the V mount plate that I have for smallrig.. won't slide in..
Thanks for the comment! Yeah I haven’t had a chance to try the kondor blue cage. That clearance around the lens release look great on the kondor. I agree that is a pain point for me on both Tilta and Smallrig. Man that cotton carrier looks awesome, so you rate yours?
@@videographerstuff539 It's been the best way to carry my camera period, I have fallen down stairs lol with the camera attached to it and fallen off my bike . Really random incidents but the camera and lenses survived.. I am looking at attaching a Focusrat to the safety clips to extend its use even further.. I have a cheaper option to test my theory for that arriving soon.. that will mount to the vest..
I have found with the small rig cage because of the flex and no lock River on the right side/shooting button side after a day of taking pictures due to wiggle and flex squeezing that grip the cage can become lose and you have to ret tighten the base

Any reason why you tested the rigidity of the SmallRig cage w/o installing the anti twist part for the top side of the camera ?

Glad you and your gear survived the falls! Sounds like with the rat, it will be an all purpose beast!

Is it enough to make you change to a different one, or are you going to bear with it?
The tilts cages are wack!! Small rig is way better!!
Thanks for the comment! I like what you’re putting down 😀
