The great thing about the MOZA Cage is that it’s compatible with a wide range of compact mirrorless cameras, it comes with a sturdy wooden handgrip, provides additional power supply and it’s designed with a variety of options for mounting points. There is a handful of 1/4″ and two 3/8″ allowing for easy connections of accessories like EVF, lights, mics, audio recorders and external monitors, and the camera body itself.
Furthermore, the wooden handgrip works not only as a holding platform and a battery container but also acts as an incredible control system. Without directly touching the camera, you have access control over recording, shutter and focus of your camera just by tapping the buttons on the grip. The unit comes with in-handgrip lithium battery with a capacity of 4800mAh that continuously supplies additional power to the camera, thus significantly lengthening its working time.
At last but not least, the MOZA Cage features a removable mounting plate at the bottom allowing the camera to be attached and detached in seconds and also lets users mount the cage to other shooting platforms such as tripods, sliders and even some gimbals.
The mounting plate is completely compatible with the Manfrotto 5 Series quick release system so if you are owning any of Manfrotto’s tripods this cage should work with any of these seamlessly and flawlessly. Currently, you can save $100 by purchasing the MOZA Cage directly from the Gudsen’s official website for a retail price of $399 as part of the company’s special Christmas Offer.
