Supercage - Mobile Cage with Integrated USB-C Hub
Supercage - Mobile Cage with Integrated USB-C Hub
Unleash the potential of your camera phone with the new SuperCage. This is the most complete pro-level mobile cage that enables you to shoot all day with expandable power, expandable memory, and an open rail system to configure your rig any way you want. Recording on a phone, especially when you attach multiple accessories, requires you to have a central hub where you can connect everything. Currently, you have to research USB-C hubs that were made for laptops. They are big, hard to attach to a mobile cage, and often provide connectors that aren’t optimized for mobile phones.
We’re changing all of that by developing a mobile-first, high-performance USB-C hub and then integrating it directly into the base of the cage, providing both balance and convenience. We included a custom array of connections rated for pro-level accessories and codecs, like Apple ProRes LOG. Plus we made sure each of the connectors go well beyond what phones require in charging pass-through and data transfer, which means this is a hub you can count on for years to come.
