SmallRig 5904 HawkLock Quick Release Cage for Nikon ZR – robust protection and versatile expansion

The SmallRig 5904 HawkLock cage provides comprehensive protection and flexible mounting options for the Nikon ZR. It integrates seamlessly with the camera body to ensure a secure fit and a unified look, while precision-engineered cutouts maintain full access to all camera controls and ports.

Durable construction that protects your camera

Its robust construction guards the camera against impacts and everyday wear. As a result, you can handle demanding shooting situations with added confidence that the camera body remains protected.

Comfortable, secure handheld operation

Additionally, the cage includes an ergonomic handle with an anti-slip silicone coating. This handle offers a comfortable, stable grip during extended handheld shoots and helps reduce hand fatigue over long takes.

Fast mounting and gimbal compatibility

The base of the cage features a built-in Arca-Swiss quick release plate. Therefore, you can mount the camera directly on Arca-type tripods. Moreover, the plate enables quick transitions to compatible DJI gimbals, including RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3 Pro, and RS 4 Pro, for rapid setup changes between tripod and stabilizer.

Wide expansion options for accessories

• 1/4"-20 threaded holes for various accessories and mounts

• ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes for professional-grade attachments

In addition, the integrated "HawkLock" quick release NATO rail supports compatible top handles, side handles, and monitor mounts, enabling fast swaps of accessories without tools.

Strap options and quick detach

The cage also includes a built-in QD (quick-detach) socket that accepts QD shoulder straps. Furthermore, it features strap slots that work with wrist straps or shoulder straps, giving you multiple carrying and stabilization options.

Easy assembly and tool storage

A magnetic double head wrench located at the bottom of the cage makes assembly and disassembly faster and more convenient. The stored wrench allows you to adjust or remove components on the fly without searching for tools.
