The SmallRig "HawkLock" Cage Kit for Sony Alpha 7R V / 7 IV / 7S III / 1 / 7R IV (Advanced Edition) is expertly crafted to improve handheld shooting experience while offering comprehensive camera protection and versatile mounting options. This kit includes a cage, an HDMI cable clamp, a "HawkLock" side handle, a "HawkLock" top handle, and a "HawkLock" NATO rail.
Both the side and top handle feature SmallRig’s patented "HawkLock" quick release system, allowing for rapid slide-in auto-locking attachment, which significantly improves handheld stability. In addition, the side handle supports one-touch 360° stepless rotation for flexible shooting angles. A two-point locking mechanism ensures a secure, anti-twist cage attachment without the need to remove the camera’s eyelet triangles.
The cage features multiple mounting points, including 1/4"-20 threaded holes, 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes, and a "HawkLock" NATO rail for quick attachment of accessories such as monitor mounts and "HawkLock" handles. A built-in cold shoe mount accommodates devices like the DJI Mic 2 or lights, while a QD socket at the base allows for shoulder strap attachment. The base is also equipped with a magnetic Allen wrench for quick assembly and disassembly.
The bottom quick release plate, paired with the "HawkLock" H38 Arca-Swiss quick release mount plate (ID 4486), enables rapid slide-in attachment with an auto-locking mechanism. The integrated Arca-Swiss quick release plate allows for seamless transitions between handheld, tripod, and gimbal setups (compatible with Arca-type tripods and DJI RS 2 / RSC 2 / RS 3 / RS 3 Pro / RS 4 / RS 4 Pro).
