Hey Caleb! I've been looking at a while to "up my game" when it comes to rigging my main camera (A7RII) but wanted variety incase I need to use other cameras. I purchased the Sonovel cage based on this video and man I just want to say thank you for making this video! I've since then purchased small pieces here and there for a fully built out documentary rig.
Thank you so much!
Just a minute ago I was looking for cheap cages and then I got this notification. Hell yeah
Nice!
Jeroen the same happened to me!!
Same but in suggested section, this is the luckiest video ever
Are you using google chrome or google while logged in your google account? That's what they do..
i bought that first one, but with the higher end top handle they have, this allows you to attach the second rod they give you to that, giving you a top handle that can be rotated if needed and many more mounting options.
Awesome. Thank you for being so concise. That Camvate cage is currently sitting in my Amazon cart and looking pretty tempting.
Haven't watched the full video yet but just gotta take a break and say thank you and congrats on 1: being a good talker, you get to the point, talk about the good stuff and has a good voice. Not ranting on forever about crap or whatever. 2: for having a really good, pro light which (for me as a photographer and filmmaker) makes it very pleasant to watch and keep me interested to see more and you show the products in a nice way. Good job man!
Ditto!
Genius. Plus your video about the modular Arca Swiss plates really helps keeps it on budget. Thanks for creating useful content! Keep it up!
Can we get a video tutorial on choosing the best grey t-shirts/v-necks to wear for video?
Haha! Thats what I get for never shopping and only owning 5 shirts!
bwwwwwhahhahahahahahaha
Caleb: If that's all they pick on, you are doing swell!
If you didn't spend all that money on gear, man...
Like buying a truckload of cheap monitors.
This is an excellent and very very useful video. Caleb has been at it for a long time and continues to provide valuable reviews and content.
Very useful for me! I'm planning on getting an EOS-M6 and one of these should work.
One thing missing was the size of the "small" vertical brace on the 2nd one you liked at the end. You only measured the large one that you used.
Compliments on your video, lighting, set design & audio. Well done!
Fantastic information! Thanks man! I love these types of videos, and you do them so well.
Thanks again!
I ordered the Camvate(HDVate) cage two days back.
Glad you seconded my purchase.
=P
Based on your video I picked up that first cafe for my 5D. It's awesome! Thanks man. Keep it up.
Great video, thank you... I bought the complete set, the first one, and my canon 6D fit on it perfect... Love the look and functionality. thanks.
Just in time! Got my G7 a week ago after extensively watching your videos about the Panasonic cameras and have been looking for affordable cages too! WHOO
Austin Webster I love my Small rig G7 cage.
Thank you for testing with the 6D. I was searching for a cage for my own 6D for awhile and a lot are not great but love the last one. Going to purchase that soon.
Did you find any cage ? I’m here 4 years later looking for a canon 6d mark 1 cage
Your informative upload on low-cost cages and exceedingly exceptional production quality rocks, Sir! Subscribed with Notifications "On"! Keep up the great work.
I LOVE MY CAMVATE CAGE- I've had it for a couple of months now and it's amazing
Also, the cage doesn't block the battery on my G7
Thanks, Caleb! Another incredibly informative and useful review. And, it's about products I can actually afford!
once again! killing it with the videos man. Fantastic work
I've actually needed this for way too long but my budget has always stopped me. So thanks so much for this yo! 👍
Glad I could help Lucas!
This was the video I was totally looking for!
"Yo???" "YO?????"
Fantastic video, about to purchase the Camvate video cage for my GH4 excellent presentation of all these cages!
Notification squad is great, but bitter sweet. I get notified as soon as you upload but what sucks is that I have to wait another week for your next video 😂😂, I'm guilty of being a gear head, buying gear i don't necessarily need for what I do, now im contemplating on getting a cage 🤔🤔🤔
Great reviews - thank you for reviewing all 5.
I've been using the first one with my Canon XC10 for a while now. Works great!
One of your best video ♥♥♥
_I can listen to your voice all day_
Very well explained and informative! Thanks Caleb!
Super helpful. Thanks Caleb!
Very good rewiew Caleb. Thanks!
Great video, love your work and really appreciate your Input!
Got a half cage from niceyrig. It comes with a nato rail on top and quick release base + a side wooden grip
Thanks for doing this video Caleb really helpful
omg thanks so much man!! I have been looking for such a review for ages!
Great Video thanks merry Christmas
I had been thinking about getting a universal cage for a while now. Thanks for the video! Too bad the Sonovel is not available!
Thanks!! so much!! im thinkihng get a cage for canon 80d, your video with information in numbers mm, its perfect! you help me alot before but somenthing!
nice vid, man!!! congrats!
There are really a lot of cages on the market today, and that is NICE!!!
Thank you for this fantastic overview. This helps me so much!
Thanks Heiko!
I never even though about being a youtuber seriously before this channel
Great review!! Thanks Caleb!
Just subbed to you. Man you have a great setup, your videos are great with lighting, audio, and material. I jammed a load of your videos on my watch later, so I can catch up. Thanks for the reviews.
I found this really informative and really helpful bro!
Great video! I love these videos. Could you do a video on cheap ball heads. Thanks again.
A great video Caleb !!!! Thanks !
Nice video Caleb! Love your content! I got a SmallRig cage for the a6500 which is really great!
One thing to note: If you are filming yourself, most of these will obstruct your view of the flip out monitor. Thank's again for another great and helpful video
Most have one sided risers, meaning you can just spin the camera so that the flip monitor is on the open side.
Thank you Scott Lamp. Brandon the issue with spinning it is if you put it on the Camvate Video Cage on the other side it appears to prevent you from opening the battery door. No forward facing view screen or take it apart to get to the battery. Ug.
God what is the lighting setup for the first couple shots like 1:30, the light looks BEAUTIFUL!
Love my Smallrig fits all my camera, for 99 Canadian, best purchase I ever made for my Camera. Use it primarily with my Lumix G7 , bought the handle too but didn't really need it.
Very glad to know you are satisfied with our products, looking forward further cooperation with you. :)
Love my SmarRig. Thanks for the review.
yea I'm diggin that 1st one the most
.might buy the first one just for that wooden handle!
The polish on that ting!!
I saw a different video focusing on that cage & it does look well made and flexible as to use.
very useful. thank you!
I think the first was the best. Or the second. Its a tight fit. Great review.
Thx u for your work!
Thanks for this one!
Nice review. Been thinking of a cage for a while now.
I bought the Viltrox VX-11 and got a "Fanshang VX-11" slightly different, but the biggest issue I have is the battery slot on my X-T3 doesn't line up with the cutout on the cage. So now I'm going to buy a Camera Riser Plate and shift it up a little bit.
Perhaps your most useful/helpful video to date.
Peace, brutha... :)
Brilliant video. thanks so much for making it. Would you know by any chance which cage would work best with the GH5?
I love the wooden handle!
Lol I was watching this and u said I love cages they r super handy
My mom was like
Wtf r u watching lol
really helpful...thanks
Caleb, thanks for doing this review. Have you done a similar review for video heads? I'm looking for one for an 80d. Thanks again!
Hey Caleb! Was watching the video, awesome work as always. But when I saw the monitor setup on the cages I was wondering if you are still planning on doing a monitor comparison like you mentioned in a previous video?
Interesting, good video. That first cage with the wood handles looks really nice, the prices are not bad too, cheaper than I expected. How do you find the finish - especially on the rods and cold shoes? Are they powder coated? do the rods and shoes scuff, or lose their colour/finish when you slide metal on metal?
Caleb....this was great. (as always) Thanks! Will the Sonovel (which has been difficult to find) work with the GH5? Thank you...
Enjoy your video very informative. Which cage do you recommend for sitting on tripod.
thanks
I use the Camvate with a G7 and a SmallRig top handle. It works unbelievably well for keeping the camera steady, even without stabilized lenses. Before getting my G7, I had an a6000 with a SmallRig cage-it didn't compare to the functionality and flexibility of the Camvate cage.
thanks for the share. i have a g7 and like the idea of using the hot shoe as a mounting point. i was concerned about battery access but it sounds like you are pleased. thumbs up.
It fits as if it was designed specifically for the G7. Battery door on mine opens without any issues, though when open the door actually touches the bottom plate, so it's a snug fit. However, no issues yet, and for just over $50, it's the best accessory I've bought for my camera. My only complaint is how long it takes to put together, but it's a pretty small trade-off.
thanks 2x for the sharing. just cage, no top handle or side grip? your style or something else? thumbs up. be well ;-)
I have it with side handle and use a SmallRig top handle, though the one in the video might work better for the cage than the Smallrig. The side handle is really what makes it great, though.
Great video. Can you please tell us whether the left rods or bars would affect the action of articulating monitors of cameras so equipped (except for the cage geared for Sony)? Is there enough room so the monitors can freely rotate?
Can't wait for your hackintosh vid. Hope to see a live stream soon too
You should make a video on the different types of cage accessories
Didn't watch the video yet, but already liked it xD
Always love your content. Clean, clear, well put together... :)
I'm doing mostly photography but that last cage I want. Especially with the swiss plates and the adjustable arms. ****drool****
Hey Caleb, thanks for the great videos! Would that camvate wooden handle work with the rod from a wooden camera dslr rig? Thanks.
Thank you Caleb!
Amazing video, you just saved me 200$, i was about to spend 300$ for a Manfrotto cage...
Thanks dslr video shooter for awesome videos! I'm curious if anybody else has had trouble packing a camera and it's cage into average camera bags. I know my current bag won't hold a Panasonic G85 and camvate rig (which includes wooden side grip and top handle) unless I at least take off the top handle. Does anybody recommend bag that will hold an assembled rig (aside from a duffle bag :)
hey, Caleb. great video :) can you make one about stabilizers, in general? gimbals, you know.
Thanks :)
Thanks Gabriela! I probably should!
can you suggest some ? for nikon d5500 ?
+1 sub love the light u use in your vid
Thanks Dean! Welcome aboard!
caleb- thumbs up. AGAIN! think the g7 will also fit the camvate with cage+top+side handle and have clearance for the battery & sd card? thanks for any info you can share. ;-)
Thanks Caleb! I think you also own the G85... any thoughts on which might work best for Panasonic G85 w/ the left-flip out rotating screen and optional G85 bottom-mounted battery grip accessory, maybe the first or last rig you reviewed?
Hi, your videos are great! Got a question, do you happen to know if the first cage would accommodate the xt2 with battery grip?
Awesome! Have been looking at the Camvate for quite a while now actually, but never went for it. Would you happen to know if the battery/sd-card door of the G7 can easily open up when mounted on the Camvate? Thanks!
When I see a video from Caleb. I click on it whith no delay.
Great video! Question tho, I have a Canon 80d and am considering the Camvate cage for it. Do you think getting the grip handle for the left side would get in the way of the flip out screen if i wanted to use it or would that not be a problem?
thanks man, i was looking for a cage for my g7 and this video really helps
Thanks Lukas! Happy to be of service!
Lukas Reich yes which one is the best?
DSLR Video Shooter oh you always are
DSLR Video Shooter do you have any current recommendations for a budget shotgun mic like the vmp(im thinking of building a whole rig out of my Panasonic g7)
Leon Lipinski for me probably the second one although it doesn't look that awesome
Hey Caleb! I just picked up the first cage you showed us. I had a quick question im hoping you could answer. In the video i see what looks like an arca swiss clamp below the top mount of the cage (has a silver knob with a black circle on the dial) what are you using that for? it didnt look like it was attached to the cold shoe on the camera so i was curious about it, didnt want to miss getting something that is useful. If anyone else knows that would also be great
Just picked up the Camvate rig to use with my GH5. Love it! But I now realize I don't have a camera bag suitable for transporting my assembled rig. Any recommendations? I really don't want to assemble and disassemble every time I shoot.
First, I should get a camera. Loved the video!
Nice video Caleb, I've watched while I eat my lunch :D
hi! thanks a lot for this great video! any cages for GH5 but with a battery grip ?
please :)
Hi Caleb I'm curious have you found a cage that will allow for the GH series flip out LCD monitors to be viewed from the front for vlogging purposes? I'm looking for a set up for field vlogging that I can view the flip out LCD and mount my zoom h4n and a shotgun mic on. Great ch man!
Could you make a video on good budget video monitors... thanks
Another awesome video!! MAHALO 😎🤙
Thanks for an extremely informative and thorough overview. However, I would respectfully suggest that photographing black cages against black or very dark backgrounds is, ummm, less than ideal. It looks like you almost tried to crush the blacks in your hero shots. It's difficult to accurately evaluate the products when they are shot with near-zero contrast.
hell yeah, nice one!
Thanks for your video review. I wanted to get the Camvate rig but I found very different prices to the ones you mention in your video..very disappointing!. $170 CND for the set up that was supposed to be $75 US
Hey great videos man! Do you have a suggestion for a cage that would fit a 1dx mkii??
dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months :)
@Iker Jimmy Yea, have been using instaflixxer for years myself :D
Hey Caleb, any chance you'll be doing a relatively cheap monitor review at some point? I know that's probably spendy if you're paying out of pocket, but I think it would be super helpful.
What would be best for doing 3 attachments? (1 mic, 1 LED light panel and 1 external monitor)
hey man do you know if the first cage can support a canon 700d or a 80d
cheers great video
