Zacuto Z CAM E2 and E2 Flagship Camera Cage
Modular Rigging System for Z CAM E2, E2G, E2-S6, E2-F6, and E2-F8
The Zacuto Z CAM Cage is a lightweight, modular camera cage system designed specifically for the Z CAM E2 and E2 Flagship Series. Whether you’re shooting handheld, rigged on a tripod, or building out a full production setup, this cage offers unmatched flexibility, expandability, and protection for your camera body and essential ports.
Weighing in at just under half a pound, this 6-piece cage system gives filmmakers the freedom to configure their rigs exactly as needed—making it a go-to choice for DPs, gimbal operators, and on-location shooters looking to maximize performance with minimum weight.
Complete Modular Design for Ultimate Flexibility
The cage consists of 6 independent components, each crafted to serve a specific function while integrating seamlessly into your Z CAM workflow:
-
2 Side Plates
-
1 Top Plate
-
1 Bottom Plate
-
1 USB Clamp
-
1 HDMI Clamp
Each component (except the top plate) can be used independently, giving you the ability to scale your rig up or down depending on your shooting needs. The top plate connects securely only when both side plates are installed, ensuring maximum rigidity and accessory compatibility.
