The GH5 Cage is our
“no-cage” cage - lightweight
and compact, it packs in a ton
of features! The GH5 Cage
screws into the bottom of the
camera with a provided ¼ 20
screw. It also attaches to the
sides of the camera, using the
Panasonic eyelets for the neck
strap rings with provided
screws. It includes a Zacuto
camera hand strap for a secure
and comfortable grip on the
camera. The cage ends at the
eyelet neck strap connection,
allowing you to use the
camera's built in handgrip,
keeping the cage small and
light and allowing easy access
to all camera controls.
The top of the cage includes
numerous ¼ 20 for mounting
accessories. It also has a built
in Z-Rail for mounting an
optional top handle or other
accessories. The bottom of the
cage has 2 ¼" 20 threads and
a 3/6" 16 thread for a tripod
plate and a built in dovetail to
slide into a VCT Pro shoulder
mount baseplate or VCT Pro
dock so you can quickly move
your camera from handheld, to
shoulder mount, to tripod
shooting. The dovetail
connection point is also where
you will connect the optional
15mm lightweight rod support
for attaching matte boxes,
follow focuses, motors, etc. It
will also slide onto our VCT Pro
and VCT Pro Dock.
The cage is designed for full
access to the camera’s battery
door, hotshoe and full button
control. There is also a
Metabones adapter support
accessory . Included with the
cage is a left wooden handgrip
with a built in cold shoe.
Putting the coldshoe on the
left gets it out of the way of the
XLR cables for the optional
Panasonic audio module
mounted to the camera’s
hotshoe. For those using the
HDMI output, the cage
includes an HDMI cable clamp
to hold the full size HDMI cable
steady to reduce strain. The
cable clamp screws directly
into the camera - so you can
use it without the cage!
Assembling GH5 Cage Optional Accessories
If using a Metabones adapter for EF mounts, attach Metabones

Metabones cage adapter to Metabones lens adapter using
additional two allen screws.
