Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, place the camera into the cage and tighten the 1/4"-20 screw at the base. For maximum security, utilize the provided M2.5 screws on both sides to anchor the cage to the camera's strap eyelets. The cage is specifically designed for the Sony Alpha 7 III and A7R III; it is not compatible with other models due to the specific contour design. To maintain the cage, ensure the magnetic spanner is always stored in its allocated slot to avoid loss. Periodically check that all mounting screws are tight, especially if you frequently switch between tripod and handheld modes.
