Camera cages - The camera cages are primarily designed to protect the camera, as it is the camera that will bear most of the load in the event of a fall. Camera cages provide convenience for the operator to work with the camera when shooting from the shoulder or from the hands, and also adds convenience for maintenance of the camera by the first assistant operator.
In addition, they are used to attach peripherals and accessories to the camera. The camera cage allows you to install a shoulder rest, lens support calipers, for installing a zoom or radio focus. It is also possible to install an external monitor and video sender and other camera accessories necessary for shooting.
