stefanocps Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hello i am about to buy a rig for my xt3. I was thinking of the smallrig one. I know there are several options to buy with it.. As it is a present i want to have a quick list of what are the most common and useful things to buy with it. Any help? thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EphraimP Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Love the Smallrig cage. I set mine up with a Nato rail on top and a Nato clamp top handle. You'll definitely want a cable clamp that fits whatever type of cables the shooter will use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nato rails allow you to attach any number of accessories. I specifically meant using the rail you linked to attach a handle like this one than has an integral nato clap: https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-camera-camcorder-action-stabilizing-nato-handle-1955.html Handles are great for hand-held shooting and provide a couple of cold shoes for mounting mics or other accessories. The nato clamp styles are very easy to take of if you want to mount the camera on a gimbal. The cage itself has a nato rail built into the left side which can be used for attaching accessories like side handles or monitor arms.

EphraimP Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I use this baseplate, because the cage has a built-in Arca-Swiss style QR plate. It works great on my rig and the height is adjustable. https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-universal-15mm-rail-support-system-baseplate-2272.html I use Smallrig's aluminum rods on my rig with this.
