Tilta has released three new camera cages, each available in two configurations to suit different needs. The latest models include a vintage-style cage for the FUJIFILM GFX100RF (Travel or Light Kit), a similar retro-inspired design for the Leica Q3 (Travel or Base), and a full cage for the Canon R50 V (also available in a pared-down Base version). Let’s take a closer look.
Tilta is known for their camera support gear for both photography and cinematography. Back in May, they introduced a cage for the Panasonic LUMIX S1RII, S1II, and S1IIE, which we covered in our podcast that month. At NAB this year, Tilta was also named co-winner of the CineD Best-of-Show Award in the Camera Support category for the Nucleus-M II, a redesigned wireless lens control system with a new FIZ unit offering four channels of control plus several other notable new features. Now, Tilta has added three new camera cages to their expanding lineup.
Vintage Camera Cage for FUJIFILM GFX100RF – Lightweight and Travel Kits
Tilta has released a Vintage Camera Cage designed specifically for the FUJIFILM GFX100RF, available in two versions: the Lightweight Kit and the more fully featured Travel Kit. Both share the same L-bracket foundation, machined from aluminum and paired with a wood-textured handgrip. A slim top plate offers protection while maintaining access to controls, and the cage avoids overbuilding, keeping the camera’s medium-format form factor relatively intact.
The Travel Kit includes a few additions for practical use on the move, like strap connection points, a baseplate compatible with ARCA-Swiss mounts, and a battery door flap for bottom access without removing the cage. The Lightweight Kit is more minimal and skips those extras while maintaining the same structural frame. Visually, both Kits have a retro aesthetic with a warm-toned walnut grip, slim top plate, and a premium leather half-case that gives the setup a classic look without interfering with the GFX100RF’s handling or ergonomics.
Vintage Camera Cage for Leica Q3 – Base and Travel Kits
Tilta’s Vintage Camera Cage for the Leica Q3 offers lightweight support without altering the camera’s shape. Made from aluminum and wood, it adds grip and mounting points while keeping the footprint compact.
The Base Kit includes a low-profile L-bracket that attaches via the hot shoe. It maintains access to the battery and features a tilting screen, along with a thumb grip, lens cap, and two leather strap buckles for a shoulder strap. The detachable hot shoe cover can hold a flash or a small accessory, and while there are no built-in tripod threads, the base works with ARCA-Swiss plates. The Travel Kit adds a leather-textured top plate with thumb support, a rotating ARCA quick-release base with ¼”-20 threads, and a strap for cross-body or shoulder carry. Both versions keep the Q3’s clean design while offering just enough added function in a minimal frame.
Full Cage and Base Kit for the Canon R50 V
Tilta’s cage for the Canon R50 V is designed with compact video rigs in mind and comes in two versions: a Full Cage and a minimal Base Kit. Both share the same aluminum bottom plate, silicone-lined grip, and side-mounted accessories. The Base Kit offers a pared-down setup without top coverage, suited for lighter builds that still benefit from some added structure. The Full Cage has a top plate that wraps around the camera for added protection and includes extra mounting points, which could be useful for rigging accessories like a monitor or microphone.
Both versions feature a modular system that includes an ARCA-Swiss compatible bottom plate, NATO rail, cold shoe receiver, and ¼”-20 threads with locating points. A built-in, multifunctional, magnetic screwdriver is included, and all ports and the battery remain accessible. Of the three Tilta cages released, this one is the most fully equipped for video setups while still staying light and compact.
