The Tilta Pocket cage system comes in a few prebuilt setups, or you can just pick up the cage alone for $99. Worth mentioning is Tilta is branding cages and accessories as Tiltaing products. The system is fully compatible with both models. Tilta is now shipping the cage with the modification, so no need to pick one over the other. The good news is with only a simple free modification on the Tilta nameplate the cage is fully compatible with the Pocket 6K. The Pocket 6K won’t fit into the 4K cage due to the lens mount being a little longer since it’s an S35 sensor and EF Mount. Tilta has come up with an extensive cage system for the Pocket 4K camera. You don’t want to have a failure while shooting because the cable came unplugged, or the drive falls off the camera. External battery and SSD need a way to mount to the camera securely. Poor battery life and a less than stellar LCD screen make you want to look for external options, and with the 6K BRAW recording, you might want to consider an external SSD drive. If ever there was a camera that needed a cage, the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and 4K for that matter are on the top of the list. It’s very helpful and will also give you ideas on what could work best plus avoid buying the wrong pieces that might not be compatible with your camera and cage choice. Pick a cage that matches your camera and add accessories. Tilta does make this easier with the Tiltaing Build a Rig website.

It’s important to double-check and buy the right ones for the camera you want to use. Mainly the power cables and data cables, and the way the camera connects to the accessories can be different. It’s not a simple process getting all the accessories to work with so many different cameras. Other cameras that are also now releasing is the Fujifilm X-T3. For now, the BMPCC 4K/6K, DJI Osmo Action, Panasonic GH-Series. It’s a very modular approach, and Tilta is trying to make it easier to rig up a few different cameras with the same accessories. Tilta has a new line of cages and accessories called Tiltaing.
