The Sony ZV-E1 has been out for a while, but SmallRig just released a new limited-edition silver cage that matches the white Sony ZV-E1 quite well.

This limited edition Full Camera Cage Kit from SmallRig equips you with a camera cage for your Sony ZV-E1 camera with integrated silicone handgrip, HDMI cable clamp, and Allen key. The camera cage features multiple 1/4″-20 and ARRI anti-twist 3/8″-16 threads to mount articulating arms, additional accessories, or the cable clamp. Two cold shoe mounts support LED fill lights, shotgun microphones, or secondary monitors.

Your camera is secured in the cage via 1/4″-20 screw and side lock adapters on either side. An integrated Arca-style quick-release plate allows for efficient transition between handheld and gimbal-mounted configurations thanks to its compatibility with DJI RS series gimbals. A QD socket and two strap holes accommodate shoulder straps or hand straps.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 2, 2023


Sony a6700: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

DPR posted its full Sony a6700 review which you can read in full here. Above you can see the overall score and Gold Award the a6700 received and below are the pros/cons. Unfortunately, DPR has not reviewed the Fujifilm X-S20 yet probably due to them shutting down around the time the camera was announced.

ProCon
  • Excellent Image quality with attractive JPEGs and plenty of Raw dynamic range
  • Front and rear control dials
  • Best-in-class AF performance for stills and video, including face and eye detect
  • Reliable subject-specific AF modes for both stills and video
  • Effective in-body image stabilization for slow-motion stills and handheld video
  • Fully articulating touchscreen for selfies
  • 11 fps shutter with deep buffer
  • Oversampled 4K up to 60p and cropped 120p option
  • Video Auto Frame feature for vlogging
  • Upgraded menus are easier to navigate
  • Well-built with ‘sealed’ design
  • Well-implemented touch interface
  • Decent battery life
  • Somewhat chunky, utilitarian design
  • No AF joystick
  • 2.36M-dot EVF is underwhelming for the price
  • Single SD card slot
  • Sheer number of features make optimizing setup difficult
  • No option for portrait-orientation grip
  • Some features require multiple settings changes
