It is also compatible with the Sony XLR-K2M audio unit and accepts the SHAPE ALPHAND handle with red push button which is available separately.
Integral with the cage is a Metabones® adapter support bracket. When there is no Metabones® adapter, the ¼-20 screw is captive so you don’t have to remove it from the cage and simply slide the bracket from under the cage. 
The one-piece design is easy to fit and the camera is fixed with a ¼-20 screw with the threaded hole under it. The position is secured with the back and the sides of the cage so it will not move forward when equipped with a heavier lens. You can also attach a delta adapter plate underneath the cage to mount the cage on a quick release and easily change from a tripod  to an handheld setup. 
In addition to having access to all camera controls, you also have easy access to the lens release button. The support between the lens and the camera grip is designed to anticipate a clearing for the fingers when the camera is handheld.
The cage features several ¼-20 and 3/8-16 threaded holes for attachments and is made from CNC machined aluminium.
This version of the cage is supplied with a quick release baseplate with standard 15mm rods system. To convert the cage into an offset shoulder mount there is included a mini composite shoulder pad and a padded back pad giving a steady and comfortable position while shooting. Installed at the front of the rods is a quick handle rod block using SHAPE's red push button technology allowing you to make quick setup adjustments.
It’s easy to install and remove the cage, simply insert the baseplate until it clicks and remove it by press the release button on the side. Also included is a top handle with adjustable push button technology with 360 degree rotation where you can make adjustments by one press of your thumb. When you release the button, the handle locks in place. It’s solid and durable. You can remove the top handle from the cage at any time to reveal a hot shoe adapter for other accessory attachments.
