SmallRig 6030 "Rhinoceros" Cage Kit for Sony Alpha 7 V / 7R V / 7 IV

SmallRig 6030 "Rhinoceros" Cage Kit for Sony Alpha 7 V / 7R V / 7 IV — Carbon Fiber Lightweight Protection

This kit gives your Sony Alpha series camera robust protection and versatile expansion. It includes the "Rhinoceros" cage, a matching top handle, and a clamp for the HDMI cable. The design focuses on portability and reliable mounting for filmmaking workflows.

Lightweight carbon fiber construction

The cage and top handle are constructed from carbon fiber. As a result, they stay exceptionally lightweight and portable. This makes the kit well suited for prolonged handheld use where reducing weight matters.

Secure three-point locking system

The cage uses a three-point locking system to achieve secure, zero-deflection mounting. The system consists of:

• a bottom locating pin
• a 1/4"-20 screw
• An M2.5 screw on the left side

Because of this arrangement, you do not need to remove the camera’s eyelet triangles to mount the cage securely.

Unobstructed access and built-in protection

The cage features a sleek, streamlined design that guarantees unobstructed access to all top-panel camera controls. Precision cutouts maintain open access to camera ports, dials, buttons, and the battery compartment.

Built-in pads protect the camera body and prevent scratches while the cage is mounted.

Multiple mounting points for accessories

The cage offers a wide range of mounting options to fit different rigs and accessories. Available attachment points include:

• 1/4"-20 threaded holes
• ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes
• Cold shoe mounts
• A NATO rail
• A QD socket

These mounting points let you attach handles, microphones (including compatibility with DJI Mic 2), lights, monitors, and other accessories.

Arca-Swiss quick release and gimbal compatibility

The integrated Arca-Swiss quick release plate at the bottom enables fast transitions between handheld, tripod, and gimbal setups. It works with Arca-type tripods and the following gimbals:

• DJI RS 2
• DJI RSC 2
• DJI RS 3 Mini
• DJI RS 3
• DJI RS 3 Pro
• DJI RS 4 Mini
• DJI RS 4

Ergonomics and cable management

A hinged door at the battery compartment adds grip support for the little finger, improving handling comfort. The included clamp for the HDMI cable secures the cable to maintain stable data transmission during use.

Note: the clamp for the HDMI cable interferes with the interface of the synchronous terminal when used on the Sony Alpha 7R V camera.
