The Tilta ES-T17-A is a robust cage that offers protection for the Sony A7 series cameras including the A7s, A7R and A7R II.
The ES-T17-A offers in this version:
- a cage that protects the camera,
- a quick realease top handle,
- two mini dovetail plates for the different A7 series versions,
- quick release plate,
- HDMI protector and HDMI micro to HDMI female adapter cable,
- two 15 mm rods of 30 cm for linking accessories such as a follow focus, matte box, shoulder pad or battery plate,
- rosewood handle with start / stop button.
The quick realease plate provides the possibility to quickly disconnect the camera with cage and top handle from the complete rig in order to be able to continue filming lightweight and ‘small’ if circumstances so require. The HDMI protector prevents damage to the fragile HDMI micro connector on the camera as the only video output. Moreover, the cable goes to a normal HDMI female connector so that the camera can connect to a monitor with a normal HDMI cable.
