Tilta Base Camera Cage Kit for Select Panasonic Lumix Cameras (Black)

Expand the accessory mounting capabilities of a Panasonic Lumix camera while providing it with a layer of protection using this Full Camera Cage from Tilta. With multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads on its top, bottom, and sides, the cage allows the mounting of handles, microphones, and other accessories without preventing the quick swapping of batteries or SD cards.

Constructed from CNC-machined, aerospace-grade aluminum, the cage is durable and lightweight, and it mounts on a Lumix camera via a three-point locking mechanism, ensuring rock-solid stability. The included cable clamp manages HDMI and USB-C cables with individual locking mechanisms, preventing disconnection or damage. Ideal for use with lens adapters, the cage's clearance allows for full compatibility with POCO adapters, and its two dedicated M3 front threads are designed for adapter support systems. A multifunctional screwdriver is included for easy adjustments, magnetizing to the bottom of the cage for convenient accessibility.

Integrate this black Tilta Xeno Top Handle into your camera cage configuration for improved low-angle shooting. The top handle secures to your cage via a built-in 1/4"-20 screw with locating pins. Multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads throughout the handle allow you to attach articulating arms, cable clamps, or other accessories. A single cold shoe slot accommodates a shotgun microphone or wireless transmitter. The handle's silicone grip makes for an ergonomic and anti-slip handgrip.

This Height-Adjustable Arca-Type 15mm LWS Baseplate from Tilta features a 15mm LWS rod clamp baseplate to accommodate standard 15mm rods, and a quick release top plate is included for integration with Arca-type tripod systems. The system is height adjustable within a 0.78" range to accommodate a follow focus system or matte box, and it features a range of 0.71 to 1.5" from the rod center to the Arca receiver.

A dovetail clamp on the base is compatible with Tilta dovetail plates, and there are also 1/4"-20 threads on the bottom for mounting onto a tripod, plate, or rig. The Arca-type quick release plate features a 1/4"-20 screw to secure your camera. The baseplate can support a camera rig load weighing up to 10 lb.

Tilta's 8" Threaded 15mm Rod is a 8" rod with female threading on both ends. This allows you to use optional threaded rod adapters to extend the length. As a standard practice, Tilta chamfers one end of their rods and leaves the other end with a straight cut. The chamfering makes it easier to slide accessories onto the rod, while the end with the straight cut makes for a smoother rod join.

The rod is made from machined aluminum for a balance between weight and strength, and then anodized black for wear and corrosion resistance. Please note that there is no industry-wide standard for support rod threading, so when sourcing optional rod extenders, it is best to stay within one brand.
