SmallRig 6029 "Rhinoceros" Cage is the perfect solution for filmmakers and photographers using Sony Alpha cameras. This cage provides robust protection and versatile expansion options, making it easy to attach accessories while maintaining full access to the camera's controls. With its three-point locking system, a stable and twist-free mounting is ensured, which is crucial for capturing professional images and videos.

Three-point locking system and secure mounting

The chassis of the SmallRig 6029 uses a cleverly designed three-point locking system to ensure a stable and secure connection to your camera. This system includes:

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

These three contact points provide a twist-free mounting, allowing you to use your camera without having to remove the eyelet triangles, saving time and increasing efficiency.

Access and protection

The Rhinoceros Cage is designed with a streamlined profile that allows you free access to the camera's controls and buttons. You can easily use dials and buttons without the cage obstructing you. Additionally, built-in soft pads protect the camera body from scratches and damage, which is especially important during prolonged use. With precision cutouts, you can easily access ports, dials, buttons, and the battery compartment, allowing you to quickly change batteries and connect external accessories without removing the chassis.

Mounting points and accessory compatibility

This cage offers multiple mounting options for attaching handles, microphones, lights, monitors, and other accessories. The mounting points include:

• 1/4"-20 threaded holes,
• ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes,

• a QD socket.

This allows the chassis to support various microphones, including the DJI Mic 2, as well as other accessories that follow these mounting standards, providing maximum flexibility in your equipment.

Arca-Swiss compatibility and gimbal support

An integrated Arca-Swiss quick release plate on the bottom of the chassis allows you to quickly switch between handheld mode, tripod, and gimbal. This makes it easy to use Arca-type tripods and a wide range of gimbals, including:
