The Tilta ES-T17 is a robust cage that provides protection for the Sony A7 series cameras including the A7s, A7R and A7R II.
The ES-T17 in this version offers:
- 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 connecting accessories as a follow focus, matte box, shoulder pad or battery plate.
The quick realease plate provides the possibility to quickly detach the camera with cage and top handle from the complete rig in order to be able to film lightweight and ‘small’ further if the circumstances require it. The HDMI protector prevents damage to the fragile HDMI micro connector on the camera as the only video output. In addition, the cable runs to a normal HDMI female connector so that the camera can be connected to a monitor with a normal HDMI cable.
