Just gotta say, thanks for always considering different use case scenarios even though your background is on professional shoots. I'm focused on social media content (shorts), and showing the cage can sit perfectly on a table and have vertical arca-swiss compatibility is the info I needed. I live close to Australia, so your videos on alternative gears that are not being covered by Canadian youtubers is extremely helpful like the Scorp Gimbal and this Falcam f22 :)

@@JohnScottB it did look like the overall grip is bigger because if that. I was about to pull the trigger on a SmallDrig 3666 that has the same shape and texture on the base plate but I could get a whole cage for about the same price. I'm just not sure about the whole size, weight, and restrictions to pressing the buttons which is why I was thinking maybe an L bracket would be a good idea. Having more to hang on to is always nice and being able to mount vertical on a tripod without moving the tripod head is nice.

@JohnScottB Жыл бұрын

@@benldr I like the Smallrig stuff because they magnetically attach a tool to add/remove it which is handy. I did want the ability to mount the camera vertically which is why I preferred the L bracket. I tried the Small Rig half cage as well, which is a little lighter, but with all the weight on one side it felt a little heavier in the hand. I just picked up the mushroom handle to use as a side handle on the Falcam L bracket as well and I think it will work very well as a little video rig. Plus you get the cold shoe up top to add other accessories.

I’m so in love with this set, have the cage for my a7c, and I’ve dropped like $500 on diff pieces to convert any and everything I can to it. just waiting for a Komodo cage. Would be awesome to have a few additional pieces like a 90 degree male to female or a 15mm adapter, or way to adapt an arri rosette. But my god is it versatile and quick to make insanely weird but oddly functional rigs, FAST. Attached one of the f38 base plates to a couple of peak strap clips, and attached the other side to a f22 female. Then I can hang the rig from the top handle or side or just where ever. I love this damn setup so much.

@@JasonMorrisphotocinema yeah, I’m planning on just grabbing a few more of the 5-position bars and mounting directly for now. Another great call was to mount my neitze mini v power plate to an f38 base. I can quickly pop a thin 98wh v mount on the bottom mount in multiple directions, or on 38 plate mounted on a shoulder pad, or one attached to a belt for gimbal stuff to keep the weight off my arms. Just so many options. Swooning for sure.

I"m debating getting a full cage vs. a smaller baseplate. Would that be a good idea? This is only slightly more money and I will have more flexibility. I'm starting to get into video work but I'm still quite casual. Is this cage still a good option for travel? Is it heavy?

i dont do video so this is a photopgraphy question. I have a promediagear flash bracket. Would it make any sense make the switch to attach a flash to a magic arm f22. I would have to buy the cage since thats what falcam has with canon. the benefit would be that most of the time you can go easily between portrait and landscape mode on a tripod and i just have to carry around a magic arm for events... although I have never seen anyone use magic arm for flash vs a L bracket. the youtubers seem to all use this setup for video so is it just weird or impractical?

Hey Jason. I finally got around to getting this cage for my A7iv. I was surprised that when I locked it into an f38 bracket, it would wiggle slightly from side to side. I was expecting a tight fit that stayed put, similar to an arca swiss plate. Can you (or anyone else reading this) please confirm with your cage if this this normal? Or do you think I may have received a dud cage or bracket? My concern is that when I compose a shot then have to make adjustments on the camera, my framing could change slightly.

Definitely Falcam is something smallrig cannot compete with. The quick release mechanism is the best. I use falcam f38 because thats what I use for Tripod, Joby, Gopro, DJI Rs. But what I have found is that the Ulanzi can get too expensive for that two things which smallrig doesn’t have. The utility to mount the stuff anywhere and it’s universal. The fix could be to fit a small f38 plate to your smallrig setup and use it everywhere. Because smallrig has few things which Ulanzi doesn’t have like Follow focus, matbox, smaller details like hdmi clamps etc. Small rig would be cheaper amongst the pigeons. But the built in falcam plates are worth every penny. The bag pack clip from fallcam is better than the peekdesign system. If your not into it yet buy Falcam22 but if you want to integrate it then fit falcam plates to your smallrig and it will work with there dream quick release system.

Jason ... I'd love a follow up review on this system not that you've used it for a while (just to confirm - the cage has a release plate built into the bottom?). Also, if you know or could reach out to Falcam - wondering if this will fit an a7RV (I'm thinking it will but IDK).

Love your channel!!! I want to love this system😢 but I can’t. I bought the F38 base and plate twice trying to make it work. I returned it twice. Maybe this is just being picky, the QR plate does not slide in to the base very smoothly. I always sticks and you have to force / wiggle it into place. I even noticed in your video you have to wiggle / pull -in & out to get it on and off. We ended up going with the PGYTECH system. Very smooth😄 and the SmallRig HawkLock’s for our accessories.

Great video! I'm about to buy an A7IV, so this cage looks definetly very interesting and most features are more appealing to me than on the smallrig cage. One question though: the smallrig cage has this additional locking point, where you attach the camera on the bottom and on the strapmount, so the camera can't swiveling around inside the cage. The Falcam cage doesn't have that, right? did you experience any wiggle room so far, or is everything built so precise that there can't be accidential swiveling of the camera inside the cage (even after longer times in the cage without re-tightening the screw at the bottom)? Thanks for your superb content!

aargh, got a bit of a bone to pick with two moments in this video. It's minor, and no reflection on the good work you do, but still... I want to make it clear first: you always create really informative vids with great production values. But in this vid, at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7eblth7q5u1eKM.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7eblth7q5u1eKM.html you indicate there is a nato rail at the top. Perfect, I need a nato rail at the top for some add-ons, so I bought this cage and...the f22 is not a nato rail (my bad for not researching further than this vid of yours). Now I need to either send the cage back, or the accessories I bought to go on to the "nato" rail on top. Aargh. Another issue I have with this cage (and this is not a comment on your video, but perhaps others might read this), is that the f38 arca-swiss compatible wedges on either side and the bottom of this cage are narrower than most of my arca-swiss tripod heads will securely clamp. Happily, the most important clamp I'm using, on my moco pan-tilt head, _will_ clamp securely on this cage (so I'm going to keep it, as it's a weight savings over my smallrig cage with bolted-on arca-swiss plates on the sides.), but it's very frustrating that I won't be able to keep this cage on permanently. I'm pretty irritated with Ulanzi for not making their f22 "standard" match the nato rail standard. Obvious attempt to lock people into a proprietary ecosystem (hey, I get it, more profit and guaranteed customers), but open standards give us consumers many more options. Anyways, great vids, but this one comment led me to making two incompatible purchases.
