This lightweight aluminum "Night Eagle" Camera Cage Kit from SmallRig protects and provides accessory mounting for your Nikon Z5, Z5 II, Z6, Z6 II, Z7, or Z7 II camera. The kit includes a "Night Eagle" full camera cage, a top handle, a detachable shoe mount, and an HDMI/USB-C cable clamp.

This formfitting cage features a "Night Eagle" design that provides gold and red trim with a retro leather handgrip, and it follows the contouring of the camera's original lines. The cage maintains access to all the camera's controls, battery, and SD card slots, and it features a variety of mounting options. The camera secures onto the cage using three screws to prevent twisting. The top handle provides two additional shoe mounts, multiple mounting threads, and the sides flip up like wings to reveal storage for mounting screws.

In addition to a detachable shoe mount, a side NATO rail, and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 accessory threads, the cage incorporates ARRI-style locating holes for preventing accessories from twisting when mounted. There are also a QD (Quick Detach) socket and strap slots for even more options, and an HDMI/USB-C clamp is included to prevent your cables from pulling.
