Cage kit for Sony Alpha 7 series
The SmallRig HawkLock Advanced Edition Cage Kit 5599 is a camcorder accessory built for Sony Alpha 7 V, 7R V, 7 IV and 7S III cameras. It includes a cage, HDMI cable clamp, side handle, top handle and NATO rail. The aluminium alloy construction protects the body while adding multiple mounting points for professional video rigs.
Upgrade from basic cages or bare camera use
This kit replaces a bare camera or a simple protective cage when you need integrated quick-release handles and a NATO rail system. The jump is worth it for shooters who change between handheld, tripod and shoulder configurations during a single production day. It is not for operators who only ever shoot on sticks or who need a lighter cage without handles.
Tool-free installation with HawkLock quick release
Both handles and the NATO rail use the patented HawkLock slide-in auto-locking mechanism, so they attach and detach in seconds without screws. The cage locks to the camera with a two-point mechanism that does not require removing the eyelet triangles. The side handle rotates 360 degrees steplessly for angle changes. Misalignment during the initial cage seating can prevent the anti-twist lock from engaging fully.
