Tilta Full Camera Cage for RED KOMODO-X - Black

Tilta full camera cage for the RED KOMODO-X body — five detachable parts, mounting points all the way round, aluminium alloy, 327 g. All the way round the cage there are NATO rails, a cold shoe, an ARRI rosette and 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads with locating points. The lens adapter support does not clamp the adapter with a single screw but with a collar contacting it at several points.

The Tilta Full Camera Cage for RED KOMODO-X is a full cage that wraps the KOMODO-X body and adds mounting points all the way round — NATO rails, a cold shoe, an ARRI rosette and 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads with locating points. It is built from five separately detachable parts, so the rig follows the shot. The lens adapter support and the quick release baseplate are in the box.

A cage of five detachable parts

The cage is made of five separate parts: front top plate, left and right side arm, bottom plate and rear top plate. Each part can be removed and used on its own, so for a light handheld build only what you actually need stays on the camera — and for a full build the cage goes back together.

Mounting points all the way round

All the way round the cage there are NATO rails, a cold shoe, an ARRI rosette and 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads with locating points. A monitor, a handle, a wireless mic receiver or an articulating arm can go almost anywhere — and thanks to the locating points the accessory stays where you set it, even when you lean on it.

Clamp-based lens adapter support

The lens adapter support does not clamp the adapter with a single screw but with a collar contacting it at several points. An adapter — a Canon RF to PL, say — then cannot twist or flex, and you can hang a long cine lens on it without worrying about the camera’s own mount.

Quick release plate in three positions

The quick release plate on the bottom of the cage slides forwards, to the centre or backwards — on the image those three positions are marked FRONT, MIDDLE and REAR. You balance the rig according to whether a long lens sits at the front or a battery at the back; on a gimbal the difference shows instantly.

Assembled and stripped down on set

The cage goes together and comes apart with ordinary tools — an Allen key and a flat screwdriver, nothing else needed. Going from a full build to a bare body can be done on set, between two takes.

For the gimbal and for the hand

The cage alone weighs 327 g, so what is left of the KOMODO-X is a rig both a gimbal and a hand can carry. That is exactly why it comes apart: the bare cage and the quick release plate go on the gimbal, handles, rods and a battery go on for the shoulder — and the camera stays wrapped the whole time.

Worth knowing

The manufacturer lists the cage for the RED KOMODO-X body. The dimensions and weight in the table are for the cage alone, not for a rig with the camera.

The bottom plate carries 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads, so through the included quick release plate the cage also sits on the 15 mm LWS Baseplate for RED Komodo and can be extended with rods, a matte box or a follow focus.
