- Sony a7 IV
- Sony a7 V
- Sony a7R IV

The wider cage-only compatibility should not automatically be interpreted as compatibility for every included handle and HDMI clamp. Verify the complete configuration before using it with additional models.

Its top mounting area includes one 3/8"-16 ARRI anti-twist female thread and four 1/4"-20 female threads.

A magnetic Allen wrench is provided with an integrated storage position at the bottom of the handle.
