NewsroomShooter: Zacuto A7/A9 Cage and Accessories

Newsroom shooter caught up with Zacuto at Cine Gear 2018 and they had a really nice cage for the Sony a7/9 to show off along with some accessories. Zacuto’s products look like they are very well thought out and they don’t seem to have many proprietary parts. You can find them at B&H Photo.

Sony RX100VI: Kai, Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 VI vs Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 V vs Panasonic Lumix TZ200 vs Panasonic Lumix TZ100, and More
