Basecage - Fast and Light Mobile Cage

We took the DNA of our bestselling Filmmaker Cage and made it lower profile, stronger, and more agile. The cage profile is mirrored in both directions so you can shoot vertical mode for social, or landscape for everything else. It’s great handheld for run-and-gun filmmaking, in an Arca tripod for fixed shots, or a gimbal to capture silky live-action shots.

Boasting one continuous open rail profile with NATO compatibility on the sides, top with Arca on the base. Including dozens of additional mounting points: (4) x 3/8”-16 thread, (4) x cold-shoe mounts, and (39) x 1/4”-20 threads.

BaseCage let’s you mount your phone using either our super secure industrial phone clamp or lightning fast magnetic MagSafe mount. Each mount is user replaceable and slides into position to accommodate any phone size, button layout, or lens angle.

Ready for any shoot—social, commercial, or indie film—this rugged, portable rig is cast from a single piece of lightweight aluminum. It’s designed to protect your phone while staying compact. With a minimal profile that fits most devices, it’s built to take hits, not your phone.
