We first saw the Walimex Aptaris cage at NAB earlier this year. Since then the system has evolved and is now more complete. The beauty of this cage is that it not only fits a range of DSLRs and Compact system cameras, it can also be fitted to cameras like Sony’s FS100 and even the Canon C300. To give added flexibility there is now an extension piece that allows the top plate to move even further from the baseplate for very tall cameras.
It is nice to see manufacturers trying to build in as much future proof-ness as possible to their products. One thing to note though is that, like most other cages, the Aptaris doesn’t permit the fitting of new Sony XLR-K2m audio backpack fitted to the top of the a7S.
