Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves aligning the camera within the cage, tightening the two base 1/4"-20 screws, and securing the top 1/4"-20 screw. Always ensure the silicone pads are clean to maintain a non-slip, scratch-free surface. To clean, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could damage the matte black finish. Ensure the magnetic Allen wrench is always stored in its designated slot at the bottom to avoid losing it during shoots. The cage is specifically designed for the Blackmagic Design Cinema 6K; while it is compatible with standard 1/4" and 3/8" mounting accessories, ensure that any third-party arms or handles use appropriate thread sizes to avoid damaging the frame.
