Locating block improved at the side of the cage, with position pin and the 1/4"-20 screw at the bottom, three points locking allows for anti-deflection fixation. 3. A “HawkLock” NATO rail is added at the side, which allows for quick attachment of “HawkLock” accessories such as side handles (ID 4485), top handles (ID 4483). Note: Quick release accersories (ID 4485/4483) need to be purchased separately.

NOTE: This cage is compatible with the cable clamps for HDMI included in cage kits (ID 4538, 4539) but is not compatible with the cable clamp for HDMI(ID 3000) from cage kits (ID 3668B, 3669C).
  • Multiple Mounting Points & Cable Clamp for HDMI: The cage includes 1/4"-20 threaded holes, 3/8"-16 locating holes for ARRI, and a “HawkLock” NATO rail for quick attachment of accessories like side handles (ID 4485) and top handles (ID 4483).

The side grip features a silicone insert for better grip and more stable shooting. The Handles feature 1/4"-20 threaded holes, built-in cold shoes for mounting.
  • Three-Point Locking: A side locating block improved, with positioning pin and the 1/4"-20 screw at the bottom of the cage form a three-point locking, allowing for anti-deflection fixation without removing the camera’s eyelet triangles.
