The SmallRig "HawkLock" Quick Release Cage for Sony Alpha 7 V / 7R V / 7 IV (6024) is a precision-engineered solution designed to enhance camera protection, expand mounting capabilities, and streamline workflow for hybrid shooters and content creators. Built with a secure three-point locking system, the cage firmly stabilizes the camera body while preventing unwanted movement or deflection during operation.

Designed for maximum versatility, the cage features a wide array of mounting options, including multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes, ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes, and a dedicated "HawkLock" NATO rail for rapid attachment of compatible accessories such as side and top handles. A built-in cold shoe mount allows easy integration of wireless microphones like the DJI Mic 2 or compact LED lights, while a QD socket at the base supports shoulder straps for improved portability during handheld shooting.

At the core of its workflow efficiency is the "HawkLock" quick release system. The integrated bottom quick release plate works seamlessly with the optional H38 Arca-Swiss quick release mount plate, enabling fast slide-in mounting with a secure auto-locking mechanism. The built-in Arca-Swiss base further allows quick transitions between handheld, tripod, and gimbal setups, with compatibility across a wide range of stabilizers including DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3 Mini, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4 Mini, RS 4, and RS 4 Pro.

Thoughtful ergonomic details include a hinged battery compartment door that enhances grip support for the little finger, improving handling during extended use. A magnetic Allen wrench stored within the base ensures quick and convenient assembly or adjustments on the go.

Ideal for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators using Sony Alpha 7 V, 7R V, or 7 IV cameras, this cage delivers a reliable balance of protection, flexibility, and speed—making it an essential upgrade for any professional or enthusiast setup.

Note: After securing the base 1/4"-20 screw, remove the anti-twist locating pins from the storage slot in the battery compartment and install them in the designated mounting position.
