SMALLRIG ZV-E10 Cage with Silicone Handle and Built-in Threaded Holes, Cold Shoe and Quick Release Plate for Sony ZV-E10

One of the interesting things about purchasing products that have been on the market for a few years is that they have been tested. This discovery of the most insightful benefits and most woesome issues has informed the development of the SMALLRIG Camera Cage for the Sony ZV-E10. And the cage makes the experience of using the Sony ZV-E10 a lot more enjoyable knowing which insights, both bad and good, have come to light. This camera cage is the latest in design from SMALLRIG, at least it is in April of 2025. Including the larger cut out for the hot shoe mount and the arca plate swiss mount made right into the bottom of the cage. I don't want to restate all the improvements it's made, but rather point out this is better buy now, than it was a couple years ago. More bang for your buck! And out of the box, what you get is the cage and small baggie containing the securing clip, screw, and allen key. No plastic, I like that. I bought this camera cage mainly for protection of the Sony ZV-E10. The aluminum construction feels great and will protect the corners of the camera from falls that would have caused major damage. Even being aluminum, this will make the camera even more heavier; although, this is the case for all cameras. The cage also makes great use for extra mounting points to turn this little guy into a entry-level "Rig". With the addition of a cold shoe mount on the bottom, 1/4 - 20 and 3/8 inch screw points, you could mount monitors, stands, lights, and microphones. Three 1/4 - 20 threads along each side, four on top with one 3/8, and five on the bottom with a single 3/8 thread as well. I like that it comes with a small silver flat head tool that magnetizes itself into the bottom of the cage. Convenient. I like the fact that it has both 1/4 and 3/8 female threads. Versatile. The camera in it's stock form comes with a very subtle hand grip, I absolutely love the feel and added girth the cage gives you with its silicone grip solution. Incredible. A few drawbacks I noticed. I mount a Arca Swiss plate on the top of the cage with a 1/4 - 20 thread and clamp it to my overhead rig. If you want it dead center, you sacrifice the ability to switch the camera on/off because the switch itself becomes blocked by the overhang of the plate. I remedy this by just shifting it over one to left, and it works fine. And if you have tiny fingers, or small plate this could be your remedy! The depth at which the cage makes the battery compartment can be tricky to get the SD Card and Battery in and out. It's really not a big deal, just takes some time to get used to. Lastly, I may be very well doing it wrong, but the mounting clip that secures the camera to the cage, doesn't fit as tight as I would want it. Meaning, when securing the clip by inserting it into the camera's original dongle mounting location and using the provided screw to fasten them together, the clip doesn't look flush. I tried keeping the bottom screw loose and doing it again, but was unable to flatten it. I'll include pictures for you fam. These really are minor nuances and make no impact on overall satisfaction on the SMALLRIG camera cage for the Sony ZV-E10. Don't get it twisted, I love this thing! It's almost a necessity. Unless you want a really sleek and slim look. It's incredibly useful, with all it's mounting options and the protection it provides alone, is worth the reason to get one for yours. It's worth the cost compared to a new camera. No exaggeration. This cage is for anyone with this camera and I wouldn't recommend anyone to go without it!

This cage is a game-changer for my Sony ZV-E10 setup. The fit is perfect, and the silicone grip makes it so much more comfortable to hold for long shoots. It adds great protection to the camera while still giving full access to the buttons, battery, and memory card slot. I love all the mounting points—it’s easy to attach a mic, light, or tripod without feeling bulky. Very sturdy and well-made, definitely worth it if you want to upgrade your rig.

The unibody metal is very high quality, very easy to install. The zve10 is made of plastic and it’s a pretty small size so the metal makes it feel a lot more professional and secure. I love the built in arca Swiss plate, i bought some quick release clamps for my tripods and now I don’t have to screw my camera on and off all the time, just a simple detach and attach. I absolutely love the grip, it’s originally very small and can be annoying for people with bigger hands. The added grip makes it 10x more comfortable to hold. Highly recommend this cage no matter what level you’re at.

These are very high quality and well designed. Just be sure to get the rig that matches your camera, there are 2 versions of the ZV-E10. The V2 rig will fit the V1 camera, but leaves gaps in the fitment. Once I got the proper cage, it fit perfectly and has been very useful.

The Smallrig Cage Grip for the Sony ZV E10 camera makes a solid camera better. FITMENT IS NEARLY PERFECT, accommodating ALL the camera's controls and access points... even if access to the headphone jack is a tad tight. You may think this a simple product, but this Smallrig offering is FEATURE-RICH. Its rubberized grip is more substantial than the camera's own grip, allowing you to handle the camera with greater confidence. If the unfortunate occurs and you accidentally drop the camera, the Cage Grip protects nearly every leading edge on the camera's body.. it even has its own strap points to allow the cage to bear the brunt of a drop while the camera is on a neck strap. Perhaps best of all, the Cage Grip gives the camera mounting points on all four sides and cold shoes both top and bottom.. and even features integrated arca swiss compatibility at the base.. all of this gives users GREATER FLEXIBILITY in accessorizing the ZV E10 or in setting up their own photo or video rig.

Works great with my camera mount

The cage elevates the zve 10 to a whole another camera feel and its just better makes it nice and chunky the grip is awesome andd so versatile with the holes on the sides although my only complaint is that the coldshoe attachment thingy for like mics suck it doesnt tighten the actual mic adapter i bought an external one. So this seems to be a common problem beware other than that its good. the only thing was that the mic reciever didnt fit in the cage coldshoe thing

Love this for my camera it gives it a way better grip and is more comfortable to hold for its size. The quality feels great and sturdy.

Ideal for rapid shooting and for a small mobile production team. Like all Small Rig gear, excellent build quality

Quality of material is very good. It gives good grip to hold the camera. But felt it is over priced. It fits perfectly to the camera. No need to remove the frame for battery replacement, charging and SD card removal. Once you fix the frame no need to remove it. Will not guarantee it will protect your camera. will give more confidence to hold camera without any fear of fall.

Great camera cage — holds a lot of gear, the grip is nice and sturdy, and it protects the camera really well. Exactly what I needed.

J'ai acheté cette cage pour plusieurs raisons : - Déjà j'ai mis un peu d'argent dans mon appareil et même si ce n'est pas un modèle de photographe, je tenais à le protéger. - J'ai pas mal d’accessoires et je n'ai qu'un seul pas de vis sous mon appareil. Donc impossible d'en monter deux simultanément. - J'ai des lampes pour faire des éclairages d'appoint et comme l'embase est en métal, je ne tiens ABSOLUMENT PAS à les monter sur la griffe à dégagement rapide de mon appareil et que cela fasse un court circuit. J'ai donc commandé cette cage. J'ai bon nombre de produits de la marque Smallrig et je n'ai JAMAIS été déçu. Ici, le produit est dans la continuité de ce que propose la marque. On est sur une cage en aluminium à la finition parfaite. Tout est pensé, on a un revêtement caoutchouc sur toutes les parties en contact avec l'appareil. La cage se monte au moyen d'un outil qui est dissimulé dans la cage et qui tient avec un aimant. La poignée en silicone offre un maintient bien supérieur à la poignée native de l'appareil (un peu plus imposante mais le grip est bien meilleur tout comme la préhension de l'appareil). Tout reste accessible à 100%, les boutons d'enclenchement vidéo, photo, réglages etc... Et bien entendu toutes les connectiques et logements pour batterie et carte SD. Et pour finir, on a des pas de vis absolument de tous les côtés. Je ne saurais dire combien d'équipements on peut monter simultanément mais on peut upgrader sa config de manière vraiment significative. Et on a une griffe de dégagement rapide directement sur la cage. On peut donc monter un éclairage d'appoint à base métallique sans aucun risque pour l'appareil. Alors oui... l'appareil prend 75 grammes au passage. Mais au regard des tous les avantages derrière, c'est vraiment un tout petit désagrément. Personnellement c'est un coup de cœur pour moi ❤

Really sturdy and solid. Great protection for the Sony ZV-E10. Now I can take my camera outside and attached to multiple tripods and stands.
