The SmallRig Camera Cage for Nikon Z8 is an essential and versatile accessory for every filmmaker, videographer, and content creator using the Nikon Z8.

It is engineered to fit the Z8’s body perfectly, ensuring full access to all controls and ports without obstructing your workflow.
Robust Protection and Enhanced Ergonomics:
Crafted from a single block of high-strength aluminum alloy, this cage provides a durable shield for your Nikon Z8 against accidental bumps, drops, and general wear and tear on set. Beyond protection, the cage significantly enhances the camera’s ergonomics. The contoured design improves grip for comfortable handheld shooting, while its form-fitting shape maintains the camera’s sleek profile. The secure two-point locking system—one on the bottom and one on the side—prevents any twisting or wobbling, ensuring your camera stays firmly in place.
A Universe of Mounting Options:
This cage transforms the Nikon Z8 into a professional filmmaking tool with an extensive array of mounting points. It is covered in multiple 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threaded holes, some featuring ARRI-style anti-twist pins, allowing you to securely attach a wide range of accessories.1 The integrated NATO rail on the side is perfect for mounting a quick-release handle or a monitor arm. Additionally, a dedicated cold shoe mount on the top is ideal for microphones or wireless receivers. The cage also includes dedicated attachment points for a handgrip, providing even more flexibility.
Smart, User-Centric Design:
SmallRig’s thoughtful design philosophy is evident in every detail of this cage. The bottom features an integrated Arca-Swiss quick-release plate, enabling seamless and rapid transitions between a tripod and handheld shooting. The cage is specifically designed to not block access to the battery door, memory card slot, or any of the camera’s ports. It even comes with a small magnetic screwdriver conveniently located on the bottom for on-the-fly adjustments.
The SmallRig Camera Cage for Nikon Z8 is the ideal solution for anyone looking to unlock the full potential of their camera.
