Cool and informative video, but that is not the Night eagle version :) this is the standard version. I can't find the bottom attachment from Ulanzi you've mentioned, would you be able to link it again? Thank you!
It's about time SmallRig made a cage that allows you to keep your neck strap on the camera! I don't want to have to hold the camera in my hands in-between shooting.
Small rig for the Z8 is Awesome! That side handle and the top handle, Rock, SOOOoo much easier to carry and handle the camera, and not just for video, it also works well for Shooting stills!
@@raysanders332 That's the one thing I hate about this cage, I can't fit my MC30A cable in there. Of course, the Z8 has great self timer options but sometimes the remote cable is nice...
Great video Ralph! Is it easy to remove the camera when you want to use it for plain photography? Do you have to pull all of the accessories off (handles, mic, etc) before you can remove the camera?
What more would you want to see in the perfect camera cage?

Great Review! Love Small Rig! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much!!
I have the cage for my z8 as well. However I thought it would work as a L-Bracket as well. I guess I need another plate to do that?
You can solve that by outing a base plate on the side of it. You’re right though it wouldn’t take much to build in a side groove as well 🤷🏼♂️

True but I think u can attach it to a strap and it’s a cage - so made more for video than run and gun shooting.
Have you discovered the 10 pin remote cable will not fit on the Z8 with Smallrig cage mounted on the Z8?
It may be a bit snug yes. I wouldn’t use the cable with the cage though. Mainly use it for video. 🤷🏼♂️

Yep it’s a great set up. Highly recommend.
Have you tried putting the ten pin connector on the camera with cage on?
What’s the 10 pin connector again??
That is the connection under the rubber cover on the front of the Z8. It is for using a remote either wired or wireless.@@RalphMayhewPhotography

Thank you. Nah you just slide the camera out. Really clever actually.
Small Rig Rocks. Excellent review. Thank you for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels
Thanks very much! Very kind of you.
I honestly can not fault my small rig gear. I am that used to a cage now, if i remove it for some stupid reason it feels so weird.
Haha SmallRig rocks for sure.
