The Nikon ZR, one of the most anticipated cameras of the year (if not all time,) is here to finally merge the best of RED’s color science with Nikon’s engineering. Yet, while the ZR might be highly anticipated and exciting, it’s still—you know—just a camera.
If you’re serious about investing in the ZR and utilizing all of its REDCODE RAW R3D and N-RAW recording and 15-plus stops of dynamic range, you’re also going to need to treat it well. Which is where camera cages and rigs come in.
In what will likely be a long series of great options from several different familiar brands, let’s take a look at one of the first options for the Nikon ZR with SmallRig’s Advanced Camera Cage Kit for the Nikon ZR.
