Review: Paid less got more Smallrig Wins - After spending time with multiple tablet mounting solutions, I ultimately returned a more expensive, “higher-end” tablet cage in favor of the SmallRig tablet cage—and I’m glad I did. From the moment I started using it, the difference in ease of use and overall practicality was obvious. The SmallRig cage strikes an excellent balance between solid build quality and thoughtful design. Setup is quick and intuitive, with smooth adjustments that don’t require fighting stiff clamps or awkward locking mechanisms. It feels secure without being overengineered, which makes a big difference when you’re frequently repositioning a tablet during a shoot or studio session. One of the standout features for me is how well it handles the Apple Pencil. Unlike the pricier cage I returned, this one allows me to keep track of the Pencil without needing an extra holder or worrying about where I set it down. That small detail has been a huge quality-of-life improvement, especially when moving quickly between tasks. Mounting options are where this cage really shines. With multiple 1/4”-20 threads and versatile attachment points, it’s incredibly adaptable. I’ve used it as a standalone tablet stand, mounted it to tripods and arms, and integrated it directly into my video and photography setups. Whether it’s serving as a monitor, a teleprompter screen, or a control hub in the studio, it just works. Overall, the SmallRig tablet cage proved that higher price doesn’t always mean better functionality. Its ease of use, smart Apple Pencil accommodation, and wide range of mounting options make it a perfect tool for video production and photography studio work. It’s practical, reliable, and well thought out—and easily the better choice over more expensive alternatives.
Review: Now your ipad can be a video monitor safely - This enabled me to mount my ipad on a tripod for monitoring my other cameras when filming. It is solid and designed to holdyour ipad safe, easy to setup. Having the extra cold shoe mounts was an added bonus I did not realize, but it let me put a light and a microphone above it.

## Features

- Wide Compatibility: The cage for iPad can be extended from 5.27 inches to 8.5 inches, suitable for tablets with a width between 5.27''~8.5'' and a length ≤11''. Such as for iPad, Mini, Air, and Pro (excluding the 12.9" 1st / 2nd generation)
- Multifunctional Use: SmallRig Cage for iPad is designed to enhance your creative workflow. It transforms your device into a professional monitor or multifunctional desktop tablet. The design fits the body perfectly, and the built-in rubber pad protects the device without blocking the microphone, charging port and buttons.
- Comes with Sun Hood: The cage includes a detachable Velcro sun hood for better outdoor visibility, an adjustable support stand for stable desktop use, and a magnetic slot for Apple Pencil storage.
- Multiple Expansion Interfaces: This cage comes with standard 1/4'', 3/8'' threaded holes, positioning holes, shoulder strap slots, cold shoes, and sliders, making it compatible with a variety of setups, including NPF adapters, power bank holder, SSD brackets, handles, tripods, etc.
- Sturdy and Easy to Use: The bracket is made of aluminum alloy, which is more stable and durable. And you can easily install your device on the cage without any tools.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid and Professional
*by A***O on May 23, 2025*

Solid and Extremely useful - I have been looking for a cage for the iPad like this one for a while, and I was considering purchasing another one I saw that was expensive than this one, but didn't offer and sun hood and Alsop wasn't as easier to mount like the Small Rig one. Love all the mounting options.
