SMALLRIGCamera Cage for Sony ZV-1 II/ZV-1F / ZV-1 Camera, with Silicone Gel Grip, Cold Shoe Mount

Very easy to put on. Makes it way better to hold. The ability to customize it is also great!

I like this thing a lot. It lets me get a lot of different ways to mount the camera. It has a cold shoe for other things I might want to hook up. It isn't sold as a type of protector or guard, but I feel like it will provide protection if I were to drop it.

Use my camera for business, im always outdoors. This cage provides me the protection I need for my investment.

It's a seemingly pretty simple design, but super versatile. I keep finding new ways to use it. My only real complaint would be that it's a little fiddly to get the battery door open, to change the battery or SD Card. If they made the opening slightly larger, and possibly a bit shallower in that area, it would be easier to work with. But it might also save a door getting broken off as it is... so maybe it's a tradeoff.I won't use my camera without it, so it's worth the slight inconvenience, to me. But might not be for everyone, for that reason.

Solid, but could use a little extra supportThe cage does what it's supposed to do and fits the Sony ZV-1F well. However, I wish it came with some foam or padding to support the camera in the gaps. As it stands, the frame rides entirely on the lens molding, which feels like it could use more even support across the body. It works fine overall, but this small addition would make it feel more secure and stable.

Smallrig is great - I use their cages and associated gear for my Sony a7siii, my a7iii and my zv-1. This thing is a perfect addition to the zv-1 - compact, not too heavy, loads of options for attachments and very protective.

Good

I love my Sony ZV-1 for vlogging, but it needs to be connected to a dummy battery for streaming more than an hour or so... This cage allows the battery compartment to stay open while you are on a tripod, so you can easily use a dummy battery.Well built, sturdy and easy to use. Highly recommended.
