As is the case with most things in life, there’s the price you see listed for a product or service, then the actual price once you add in all of the add-ons and fees. It’s just a fact of life. And, love it or hate it, you can’t deny that sometimes one purchase necessitates additional ones.
And that’s usually the case when it comes to your cameras. Luckily, the Nikon ZR is a 6K capable cinema camera that is actually quite affordable by itself. However, if you want to protect your investment and turn it into a more modular rig, then finding the right camera cage option is a must.
Let’s look at a new Nikon ZR camera cage option from Tilta that comes in a couple of different options and, while an add-on expense, isn’t too expensive.

While this isn’t the only option available for your Nikon ZR, we’ve covered SmallRig’s Nikon ZR camera cage before; it’s nice to have multiple options from different brands to consider. And, truth be told, they’re all pretty great and affordable.
However, if you’re familiar with Tilta and like the company’s other support products, then this is a great direction to go. Featuring the capabilities to create multiple configurations with an L-Bracket that features a lightweight grip and bottom protection, as well as a Full Cage version with flexible mounting options and full protection, you have complete modular design control.
The Tilta Nikon ZR Pro Kit, as it's called, has been optimized for better operation, smoother creation, and intuitive handling. It has a nice ergonomic handle that should provide nice support for reduced fatigue during long shoots and a lightweight design in general.

Overall, this is another nice option for Nikon ZR owners or renters looking for a multi-purpose rig that protects and expands the functionalities available for the camera.
There are a couple of versions available on Tilta’s website, with the main Pro Kit (black) version currently available for $179 here (a 10% discount is currently live now as well if you act fast).
