Streamline Your Workflow with the Ultimate Director's Monitor Cage
Meet the Wooden Camera Director's Monitor Cage v3, the definitive on-set solution engineered for versatility, comfort, and uncompromising professional use. Designed from the ground up to enhance your monitoring workflow, this cage is the culmination of user feedback and cutting-edge design, resulting in a system that is 33% lighter than its predecessor without sacrificing an ounce of rigidity. At its core, the v3 is a universal powerhouse, built to securely house any monitor up to 9 inches. This ensures broad compatibility with industry-standard models from SmallHD, Blackmagic Design, Atomos, TVLogic, and many more, making it a future-proof investment for your kit.
Ergonomics and speed are paramount on a busy set. That's why the v3 features tool-less, adjustable carbon fiber grips on 15mm clamps, allowing for rapid repositioning to achieve the perfect balance and handling comfort. When the day is done, the handles fold in for compact transport. The cage is designed for multiple viewing scenarios, whether you're on the move with the included padded neck strap, or setting up a stationary video village. The integrated baby pin receiver with a locking thumbscrew makes mounting to a C-stand effortless and secure, providing a stable base in seconds.
Power and signal management are seamlessly integrated. The innovative swing-away battery bracket supports both V-Mount and Gold-Mount plates and provides quick, unimpeded access to the rear of your monitor and connected wireless receivers. This clever design allows you to swap batteries or adjust cabling without dismantling your setup. Speaking of wireless, the frame includes mounting points for up to two Teradek receivers side-by-side, keeping your rig clean and snag-free. With an array of 1/4"-20 mounting points on the top, bottom, and back, you have endless options for attaching accessories. The included multi-purpose sunshade not only eliminates glare for critical viewing in bright conditions but also ingeniously converts into a padded screen protector during transit, safeguarding your monitor's most valuable asset.
