Basecage - Fast and Light Mobile Cage
BaseCage is a compact, lightweight mobile cage that let’s you build your own rig with full creative flexibility. Featuring an open rail system with NATO rails, an Arca-compatible base, and multiple mounting points, it’s perfect for mounting mics, lights, handles, or other filmmaking accessories. Whether you're shooting handheld, on a tripod, or with a gimbal, BaseCage keeps your setup lightweight, modular, and easy to pack.
How it Works
Fast & Light
We took the DNA of our bestselling Filmmaker Cage and made it lower profile, stronger, and more agile. The cage profile is mirrored in both directions so you can shoot vertical mode for social, or landscape for everything else. It’s great handheld for run-and-gun filmmaking, in an Arca tripod for fixed shots, or a gimbal to capture silky live-action shots.
Open Rail System
Boasting one continuous open rail profile with NATO compatibility on the sides, top with Arca on the base. Including dozens of additional mounting points: (4) x 3/8”-16 thread, (4) x cold-shoe mounts, and (39) x 1/4”-20 threads.
Flexible Phone Mounting
BaseCage let’s you mount your phone using either our super secure industrial phone clamp or lightning fast magnetic MagSafe mount. Each mount is user replaceable and slides into position to accommodate any phone size, button layout, or lens angle.
Built Tough
Ready for any shoot—social, commercial, or indie film—this rugged, portable rig is cast from a single piece of lightweight aluminum. It’s designed to protect your phone while staying compact. With a minimal profile that fits most devices, it’s built to take hits, not your phone.
