The SmallRig 3667 Camera Cage for Sony Alpha Cameras is a protective accessory crafted from durable aluminium, silicone, and stainless steel in black. Designed specifically for Sony A7 IV, A7R IV, A1, and A7S III models, this one-piece full cage secures the camera and provides reliable mounting points for professional video production, vlogging, and photography equipment setups.
Advantages
This camera cage features a secure two-point locking system that fixes the camera using a bottom screw and the left shoulder strap hole to prevent twisting and deflection. Built-in all-around protective spacers prevent scratches on the camera body. The design maintains unhindered access to all camera interfaces, dials, buttons, and the battery door. An integrated spindle spanner at the battery compartment conforms to the camera curve to enhance the grip experience and leave room for the little finger. Additionally, the bottom features an Arca quick release plate for rapid transition between tripods, handheld shooting, and DJI RS 2 or RSC 2 stabilizers.
Suitable for
- Professional video production and filmmaking
- Vlogging and content creation
- Tripod-based and handheld photography
- Stabilizer-mounted shooting
When it may not be suitable
This camera cage is specifically tailored for select Sony Alpha models and is not compatible with cameras from other manufacturers or different Sony series. Users who prefer shooting entirely naked without any protective frame or additional accessories may find the added dimensions and weight unnecessary.

What to consider before purchase
