Switch to the half cage (99g, 130mm W x 100mm T x 55mm D) for a lighter, more minimal footprint on handheld or gimbal work, since the Hybrid System lets you convert between the two without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat accessories can I mount on this cage for video production?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe three-sided NATO rails and signature MiniRail support monitors, handles, audio recorders, power accessories, and drop-in filter adapters for lens workflows.
