You are a genius, with using that screw. I was having the same problem getting my fingers in to get the camera off.

Small channel with an outstanding review. Hope you stay trending. Congrats on the 5k views so far.

This was a great video. Glad someone made it. You did a great job.

Love that tip in the end. Definitely want to try it. I bought smallrig for my action cam 3 too and it’s coming in few days. Thanks for this video

Prior to watching this video without much research I went with Small Rig Cage, I'm now glad I did thanks for info!

Great show. Thank you. The pros and cons and tip were very helpful.

Very helpful Video ! I got the OA4 yesterday and look for a cage, i had the smalrig one with the first Osmo Action and it was awesome. Thanx 4 your work in comparing for us =) I subbed , like ur Style ! Greetings !

Great review. No filler or garbage. Just straight info. Thanks.

Was looking at buying a cage for my newly purchased action 3, so your video has swung me in the direction of the smallrig. Good video.. thanks.👍

Great informative video, recently bought a DJI Action 3 and was looking at various accessories. This video definitely helped me in choosing a replacement cage to the supplied one. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for this very informative video. I agree with everything you said, I just purchased the dji Osmo Action 3 and love it. I also noticed how cheap the original cage is and the Small Rigs cage is the only cage I really liked. That being said, I use Small Rigs components as well and was why I was choosing their camera cage. Now that I actually got to see a review of it and comparisons made, the choice is clear.

Thanks for sharing so useful content in such a simple manner …. It do Will help me using the camera more wisely …

Sir, thank you for the thorough review of all 4 cages. Now i know what i should get Thank you so so so much

Great information. Helped me to buy two cages, screws and usbc adapter. Thanks for the video :)

This is a great video. I’m glad I found it! I’d just watched the one with the gentleman who said you must remove the lens to get the camera into the Smallrig cage haha. Thanks for taking the time to give such detailed explanations of all three cages

Yes, no problem! Works great

Chock full of worthwhile information. Well done sir! I've purchased the Smallrig cage and a bag of those 10 32 Screws : )

I bought everything you said to buy. Thanks for your expert advice. Your awsome brother!!!!!!

Great reviews! Was locked in on the pygtech cage for the action 4 until I saw your review for the smallrig. Not as sleek but functionally it wins. Thanks for your work!

Thanks Greg for your very helpful video.

Welp, because of your outstanding review, I'll return the PGYTech cage once the Small Rig Cage I just ordered arrives. Thank you for taking the time to create this beneficial content! And your tip at the end was on point! Thank you, my friend! 👊🏾

most useful review on yt. thank u very much

Thanks, very helpful video. I just bought an action 4 & discovered my DJI wireless mic doesn’t fit with the included cage so I’ve been looking for an alternative also with a cold shoe mount 👍

Great review. Thank you. Really appreciate as a newbie..

great review . informative. thank you 💕💕💕

Great review of these cages, and now I will make the right choice for using a DJI Mic with the DJI Osmo Action Camera 4. Thankyou for sharing! Liked and Subscribed

Excellent. Ordering the Small Rig today. Thanks for the review. After years of using GoPro, I've finally ditched the platform. DJI is the way.

Nice video and good tip - thanks

Thanks Greg, this was a very informative video. I'm waiting on my 2nd Osmo Action 3 after the first one had the notorious focus issue, fingers crossed. The main appeal of the camera for me is the excellent integration with the DJI Mic, which I have. Going to check out your Catechism video next.

Great video thanks for sharing !

Thank you for the insight, much kudos

Greg, nice comparison - I selected the Small Rig case and am pleased. I was wondering who makes the magnetic car mount that you showed? Thanks on much.

Thanks for pros and cons really helped.

Great video, thanks bro

Thanks, you helped me to choose the cage. I use also dji mic wireless system so almost bought ulanzi.. but now i will defenetly take smallrig :)

I’ve just jumped from the GoPro Ecosystem after struggling to overcome the bugs and glitches - to DJI and the A3. While the A3 is on it’s way to me, your review on the cages is much helpful to start spendy spendy on accessories. Much Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, It's useful 😊.

Really nice video thanks, do you have other accessories idea for the DJI ?

Thanks for your very helpful video. I am also waiting for Ulanzi cage for DJI Osmo action 3. Because these 2 products have problems when plugging in the DJI micro phone.

Very useful review. I am looking for the case that can attach Dji mic. Thanks

Great review

Thanks for the great video. Curious what the brand name and model of the Magnetic Magic arm Mount is? If you could send a link I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Great video! I love the quick mount on the DJI's - but being someone who puts it on a motorcycle helmet and rides fast, should I be worried about the mount failing? I just bought the action 4, so I haven't researched too much yet. Again I love how quick it is to go from my helmet to a tripod mount and back again.

Thanks for sharing. Good stuff

That was a great review, thanks. I bought the PGYTech and found later that it didn't fit the DJI mic, was so annoyed. Also I have invested in a number of Ulanzi Quick Claw mounts that use 1/4 20 so I can switch different cameras over different tripods, selfie sticks etc. So the Smallrig will be perfect for me. Thanks again.👍

Hi thanks very informative. Can i know where did you get those screws you showed at the end?

After watching your review, I proceed to order Smallrig, thank you

Hi Greg thanks for this helpful information The Smallrig just looks amazing the Action 3 even looks now more professional I will get one more my DJI Action 3 Question Do you know if the magnetic mount also works or fits the DJI Action 2 ??? Thank you in advance

Smallrig always smart accessories for my gears

If you use the cold shoe accessory of the DJI MIc and place the receiver in the cold shoe of the cage, you can turn it front or rear, depending on the direction you want it in. The audio interface is also present in the USB charging port of the receiver, so you can just run a USB-C cable from the receiver to the camera. Yes, the cage has that recess, but I still find it more sturdy and secure in the cold shoe.

Can you put the rubber lens ring back on after the small rig cage is on? Thanks for the review.

I received my Smallrig cage today. I just wish it were a little lighter in weight. Had one on my AO1 & ended up buying a lighter weight cage for it to use on a gimbal for RV tours. Of course, I can still use that camera, but this little cage is heavy. Thx for your review.

Thanks for getting back to me. I meant the magic arm at 14:49 (with the round magnet and magic arm. I'm going with the Small Riga cage

I really enjoyed watching your excellent video! Your channel is like a gem! Also, the camera you used for filming the review seems to have a really good image quality. I was truly impressed by its precise focus and high resolution. Could you please let me know which camera you used for filming the KZfaq video?

Hey! Love the video. Could you tell me which magnet mount you use at around @14:30?

Great Video...

i planning to get the smallrig cage, because the same reason you have. the usb c mount for mic is something i need it to be properly mount. aside that, the pgytech and ulanzi is very similiar to each other. i am using the ulanzi j12 mic and i found a small work around by using a usb C L shape extension. and it works good. but i can't do that if i use pgytech and ulanzi cage, and i have to use the same extension u did, which i want to avoid (same reasons). the L shape extension is more safer and solid compare to the regular extension. after doing some watching around i found out the smallrig cage would be the best option for me. the only downside for smallrig would be the extra 20g weight (maybe a big deal for drones fpv user). but for me, i am only using it for my pov vlog shots, so the smallrig would be my 1st choice, since it doesnt add much weight when i walk around. also, you definitely need to use the dji OA3 mount because they are taller.

Interesting,thanks.

I wish smallrig design casing like using a straps with magnet, like dji osmo action 2

Thanks

Hello. Thanks for this review. I just realize that my Action4 lens does not have that rubber protection. I also bought the Adv Combo set. Did yours came with the set?

Does the DJI Mic cold shoe mount fit on the top of the pgytech cage??

The only thing I'd add to your excellent review is using a short USB C to C lead like the ones that come with DJI drones and using that to link up to the receiver mounted on the cold shoe on top of the SmallRig cage, rather than that extension, that looks a bit fraught with danger. Best Dave

Can the dji mic receiver be attached to the cold shoe? Then just run a cable to the usb c ?

Hey Geg - have you seen the Tilta cage for the Action 3? It looks like a nice cage and I ordered one today.

I have a smallrig cage and while i have my manfroto tripod shoe i cant acces battery or card slots Its supper annoing that i have to take camera out of cage everytime to acces card to transfer files on computer

Did you notice that original magnetic mount does not work good with Smallrig?

seems like the SmallRig (last cage) cold shoe location covers the mic at the top. So if I were to use the mount, my videos would be muffled somewhat correct?

Nice👍, what camera did you use for this episode ?

At 14:45 in the video, you are attaching a magnetic base mount, but I see no link to that item. Can you point out the magnetic mount demonstrated which can be used to stick to my vehicle for some side shots?

Hi! Why do you need the shutter buton when the camera works gret with voice comand?

What about the Ulanzi cage?

If you made a better choice of adapter it could work. You can buy all variations beyond the syrraightone you got. There are right angle ones, etc.

So, as you said, the magnetic mounts of osmo action 2 works on the action 3? Nothing to do about the cages but anyways...

Best one is Ulanzi. I have Ulanzi Cage. And not any problem plus most cheap...

What about the tilta cage?

Does it fit will action 4. Pls give me an answer

I'm pretty sure if you open up the battery access door at the same time as the rear door you don't even have to remove the rubber ring as it will give you enough room to install the camera into the case

Отличный обзор на кейсы, выбираю для камеры А4!! Походу smallrig выигрывает😊😊😊😊!! А вы не видели клетку от фирмы Tilta?? Посмотреть бы и ее для сравнения с smallrig!! Вам всего хорошего!!😊😊😊

Attention: The cages are great and have different mounting options and side openings. However, they are not to be used when riding a motorcycle. All metal cages with a metal lever or slider for the side openings will rattle and rattle. From a certain speed you only hear a rattling and rattling. It even gets on my nerves while driving. The sound of the recording can no longer be used.

No the rubber rim is not for protection. It is for grip. And good luck replacing them when you do need it for grip during temperature changes.

Anyone here who is still deciding for Smallrig or Ulanzi Cage?

Buy 2 products, use them, make a KZfaq video reviewing them -- then return one when done with it 👍

Greg sounds handsome, I like older men.

You can't get your thumb on the release tab so 'its a design flaw?'? Seriously? Then spin the camera around, ffs. I'm out. This is dumb
