Tilta Camera Cage Pro Kit for Nikon ZR Black

Add mounting points and quick release functionality to a Nikon ZR cinema camera without sacrificing mobility using this Full Camera Cage from Tilta. Offering flexible configurations, the cage can be used fully assembled or as an L-bracket with an ergonomic wooden grip and an Arca-type quick release baseplate, ensuring unobstructed access to buttons, ports, and the hot shoe in either setup. The cage sports multiple anti-twist 1/4″-20 threads on each side for extensive accessory attachment, with 3/8″-16 threads and a top cold shoe receiver providing additional mounting options.

Built from durable aluminum alloy, the cage weighs just 4.9 oz as an L-bracket and 6.7 oz in total. The bottom plate attaches to the ZR via a 1/4″-20 screw, while the top plate screws into the bottom plate at two places and locks into the ZR at another, creating a safe and secure fit. The front of the baseplate features two M3 threads for Tilta’s separately available ARRI PL-mount lens adapter support. Included are a multifunctional screwdriver that magnetically attaches to the bottom of the cage, a 3/8″-16 to 1/4″-20 thread adapter, and a clamp for preventing the disconnection or damage of USB-C and micro-HDMI cables.

Integrate this black Tilta Xeno Top Handle into your camera cage configuration for improved low-angle shooting. The top handle secures to your cage via a built-in 1/4″-20 screw with locating pins. Multiple 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads throughout the handle allow you to attach articulating arms, cable clamps, or other accessories. A single cold shoe slot accommodates a shotgun microphone or wireless transmitter. The handle’s silicone grip makes for an ergonomic and anti-slip handgrip.

This black Xeno Side Handle with Anti-Twist 1/4″-20 Mount from Tilta mounts securely on the right or left side of your camera cage, offering improved handheld stability, thanks to its captive screw with two anti-twist pins. It has a comfortable, nonslip silicone grip and can be adjusted vertically up to 1.6″ for optimal placement. The handle has one shoe mount and three anti-twist 1/4″-20 threads for mounting accessories, and it comes with a magnetic 3mm Allen key.

This Height-Adjustable Arca-Type 15mm LWS Baseplate from Tilta features a 15mm LWS rod clamp baseplate to accommodate standard 15mm rods, and a quick release top plate is included for integration with Arca-type tripod systems. The system is height adjustable within a 0.78″ range to accommodate a follow focus system or matte box, and it features a range of 0.71 to 1.5″ from the rod center to the Arca receiver.

A dovetail clamp on the base is compatible with Tilta dovetail plates, and there are also 1/4″-20 threads on the bottom for mounting onto a tripod, plate, or rig. The Arca-type quick release plate features a 1/4″-20 screw to secure your camera. The baseplate can support a camera rig load weighing up to 10 lb.

Tilta’s 8″ Threaded 15mm Rod is a 8″ rod with female threading on both ends. This allows you to use optional threaded rod adapters to extend the length. As a standard practice, Tilta chamfers one end of their rods and leaves the other end with a straight cut. The chamfering makes it easier to slide accessories onto the rod, while the end with the straight cut makes for a smoother rod join.

The rod is made from machined aluminum for a balance between weight and strength, and then anodized black for wear and corrosion resistance. Please note that there is no industry-wide standard for support rod threading, so when sourcing optional rod extenders, it is best to stay within one brand.
