SHAPE Sony A7R3 Cage Kit Matte Box Follow Focus

Sony A7R III, A7III Camera Cage 

The SHAPE Sony A7R III Cage is targeted at filmmakers, videographers and photographers who want a simple, hassle-free and ergonomic cage design that really works.  Specifically designed for the Sony A7R III and A7 III cameras, the form-fitting cage offers additional protection and securely locks the camera to the cage.

It also provides easy access to all controls and ports as well as multiple attachment points for accessories. For handheld shooting, the side 15 mm rod clamps, located at the back of the cage, are designed for quickly securing the new ergonomic Mini Push-Button Wooden Side Handles with Padded Straps using a single ratchet knob on each side (A73CHH).It also features an ARRI Standard Rosette that can be mounted in four different locations.

Top Handle

The ergonomic and removable SHAPE Top Handle was designed to provide the required space for mounting the Sony XLR-K2M audio unit. It offers a comfortable and secure wooden grip for carrying your camera and securing accessories. It also features the SHAPE Push-Button Technology, enabling you to balance the weight and rotate the handle in the position you need on a 360° axis.

This nicely crafted Top Handle provides multiple mounting options, including ARRI Standard 3/8″-16 anti-rotating hole patterns on the top, SHAPE Standard 1/4″-20 anti-rotating hole patterns on the top and side, cold shoe mounts, and a 3/8″-16 UNC threaded hole at the front. It also features the SHAPE Rod Clamp Holder positioning system at the front, allowing you to directly mount a 15mm rod onto the handle.

Follow focus friction & gear clic 

TheSHAPE Friction & Gear Follow-Focus Clic with Adjustable Marker is made oflightweight anodized CNC aluminum for strength and durability. It is designedto attach onto standard 15 mm rods of shoulder support rigs and other rigs. Itattaches onto them via a clamp system, with simplicity. You would sit the Clicon top of the rods, and then slide and close a SHAPE-patented lever clampunderneath the rods, and the lever locks and holds the Clic securely on therods.

The focus mechanism can be used on either the left or the right side of the lens, depending on the direction you place the Clic onto the rods in. And the focus disk itself can be used either in front of the focus mechanism or behind it, so to accommodate a wider variety of lens lengths. To move the disk to the rear, you would first just unscrew two screws from the gearbox. Once the screws are off, the focus disk can just be flipped over for use with longer lens constructions.

MatteBox 4x4

TheSHAPE 2-Stage 4 x 4″ Matte Box accepts lenses with up to a 100 mm front outsidediameter. It mounts to 15 mm LWS rods and utilizes a swing-away design, whichlets you perform quick lens changes without having to remove the matte box fromyour rods. You can adjust the height of the matte box in relation to the rods,which comes in handy when your lens center to rod center height is slightly offfrom the standard. Two rotating filter stages support the use of 4×4″ filters.The matte box comes with a top flag (eyebrow), side flags, four matte boxdonuts in 66, 72, 82, and 90 mm sizes, and elastic donut. The matte box alsohas a rear opening of 100 mm for lenses.

The included anti-reflection donuts prevent light behind the camera from reflecting off any filters in the matte box and degrading the image. Included with the matte box are anti-reflection donuts for lenses with a front outside diameter of 66, 72, 82, and 90 mm.

QuickRelease Rod Base System and Metabones Adapter

The cage is connected to its base via the new SHAPE Quick Release RodBase System using a specifically designed 15 mm rod bloc system for the opticalcenter of the Sony A7R III camera. It allows quick mounting and dismounting ofthe camera and the cage can easily snap in and be quickly removed from its 15mm LW base by pressing the release button at the rear of the mount for handheldshooting.

Changing the objective or adding a Metabones® Adapter can be done easilywhile keeping the camera in the cage. SHAPE created a removable Metabones®Adapter Support Bracket specifically designed for the Sony A7R III camera thatis integrated in the cage. Fixed with 2 screws, the bracket’s height is easilyadjustable and provides 15 mm of vertical adjustment. It supports the weightand reduces the stress on the camera lens mount. When there is noMetabones® Adapter, simply unscrew the 1/4″-20 screw to quickly remove thebracket.
