NEX 5n Cage(s) available now?
  • chopnshootchopnshoot

    Can anyone point me towards any cages that are fit for the Sony NEX 5n? I don't mean those prototypes that have been floating around. I would like to get a cage that compliments the size of the camera. Most cages I've seen are built for DSLR the size of a 5D and the NEX 5n is considerably smaller. The main features I'm looking for is something that will give me an improved grip, better footprint for tripod/rig use and a good option for mounting rails for ollow focus use.

    Ordering something like this online can be so sketchy because pictures and even the supplied dimensions from manufacturers can be deceiving to say the least. Any recommendaton would be greatly appreciated.

    No custom cage for the 5n has been made, just a great one was enginered by a user called Richg101 but he made it for it self. So the best option is to get a over dimensioned one like the GB-1 GearBox Video Cage form Photography and Cinema, nice construction and inexpensive.

    Thanks for the suggestion. After checking that out on the P&C site I spotted this: http://www.photographyandcinema.com/collections/camera-cage/products/fhugen-gh3-video-cage Anyone familiar with this one?

    I might start checking out GH3 and BMCPC camera cages after spotting this.

    Maybe the Pocket cage from Woodem Cameras can be adapted to the 5n: http://woodencamera.com/Blackmagic/New-Releases-BMC/Pocket-Cage.html

    Hmm nice option. To add that top handle and 15mm rod support it makes it a little pricey.

    I might try digging into ebay and see I can't find the same thing for cheaper out of china. Not a big rush for this as of now.
