I have the Small Rig Black Mamba cage. It fits closer than my cages for my two GH5s and my GH5 ii. It is also more secure, meaning it doesn’t ever come loose.
@@andersistbesser Really? I haven’t experienced this but it could be my rig isn’t that heavy. I have a shotgun mic, a matte box, a top handle and a Ninja V.
Hey! I have exactly the same Smallrig cage (3784), and it works fine for me. That little screw on top was a little bit tight fit, but the battery door opens well and overall I'm happy with it. I have been looking at Smallrigs Black Manta cage too to purchase someday though. Nice comparison 👍
Man, upgrading from a GH5 to Gh6 has not been without its "growing pains" lol. I ultimately decided on the Tilta cage since I had Tilta for my GH5, so my handles, rosette mounts, and other accessories adapted without any faff. Also, it was half the price of the black mamba! Thanks for the videos! Have helped a ton in learning more about the GH6. Bonus info- Biggest smallest detail that I miss from my GH5: Tactile buttons! (especially the shutter button) Such a minute thing, but "mushy" buttons just makes the experience feel lacking in quality. I know it serves a purpose of sorts, like less noise and preventing accidental blur when bottoming out the shutter, but I still miss my clicky buttons, lol.
Yes, I agree. a tactile shutter button would definitely be better particularly since it is rarely used for video recording. My biggest complaint on the GH6 is the short battery life... I think it is contributing to me having a shorter life 😂
No, not in my experience with the setup that I have. It seems solid. I suspect the reason the SmallRig cage flexes is because of its thin curved design around the buttons without the additional support in front like the Kondor Blue cage, but the Tilta cage is square and has good thickness all around.

Yes, that was the first cage I bought as well but it doesn't have enough mounting points on top which is why I ended up buying the other ones.
It bends with heavier rigs.. low quality

@@andersistbesser which one?

Great content, though visually mysterious. We're collecting money to buy you a led light. 🤪
hahahahaaaa... yes, I definitely need an LED light 😂

Damn, I must have been unlucky with my one. I had the black mamba first but I needed more mounting points on top which is why I bought the other ones.

Does the Tilta cage flex like the Smallrig ones?
No, not in my experience with the setup that I have. It seems solid. I suspect the reason the SmallRig cage flexes is because of its thin curved design around the buttons without the additional support in front like the Kondor Blue cage, but the Tilta cage is square and has good thickness all around.
