The SmallRig 5708 Monitor Cage Kit gives your Atomos Ninja TX strong protection and practical mounting options. It includes a cage, sun hood (ID VH2269), cable clamps for HDMI and USB-C, a dedicated USB-C clamp, and a screen protector. The sun hood and screen protector work together to improve visibility and protect the display in bright or high-glare shooting conditions.
The cage integrates a built-in "HawkLock" H21 NATO rail. As a result, you can quickly attach and detach compatible SmallRig monitor accessories such as the HawkLock Monitor Support (4888) and the Swivel and Tilt Adjustable Monitor Mount (2906).
The kit includes cable clamps designed to secure both HDMI and USB-C connectors. These clamps are compatible with original Atomos cables and can be mounted directly onto the monitor or attached to the cage. In practice, they prevent accidental disconnections and help maintain stable data transmission while you record or monitor footage.
The included sun hood (ID VH2269) significantly improves screen visibility in bright shooting environments. Together with the supplied screen protector, it shields the monitor from glare and surface scratches. This combination helps you maintain a clear view of your image and protects the display during transport and use.
