NICEYRIG Camera Cage for Sony A6100 1/4" 📷
Description:
This aluminium camera cage offers a rigid, modular frame for mirrorless shooting with Sony A6100, A6400, A6300, A6000 and NEX7 bodies and improves handling, accessory mounting and heat management. If you want a camera cage for Sony A6400 that keeps microphones, EVF supports and small lights organised while reducing body twist, this is a compact option to consider.
Key Points
The cage is built in aluminium to add protection and a firmer grip without a large weight increase. It includes a cold shoe on the top so you can attach lightweight accessories such as a shotgun microphone or an EVF mount. Multiple threaded holes are distributed on all four sides for flexible rigging and allow you to place arms and accessories where they best balance the camera.
Practical stability is addressed with two vertical 1/4" threaded holes on the underside that secure tripod plates more firmly than a single anchor point. The front section is shaped to resist torsion and to help dissipate heat from the camera body during longer recording sessions. Note that the cage is suited to small, lightweight setups and may not be ideal for very heavy lens and accessory combinations.

Usage Recommendations
Attach a compact shotgun mic in the cold shoe for better audio capture when recording interviews or run-and-gun footage. Use the multiple 1/4" and 3/8" thread points to mount articulated arms for monitors or small LED panels, which helps keep the centre of gravity close to the camera. If you plan longer handheld takes, adding a small top handle or a side grip via the threaded points will make the rig more comfortable to hold for extended periods.
For travel setups, the cage offers extra protection in transit and maintains a low profile so it will fit into smaller camera bags more easily than bulkier rigs. Remember that heavier accessories may require additional support from a cage-compatible baseplate or rod system to avoid strain on the camera mount. 📸🔧
