SMALLRIGZV-E10 Cage with Silicone Handle and Built-in Threaded Holes, Cold Shoe and Quick Release Plate for Sony ZV-E10

One of the interesting things about purchasing products that have been on the market for a few years is that they have been tested. This discovery of the most insightful benefits and most woesome issues has informed the development of the SMALLRIG Camera Cage for the Sony ZV-E10. And the cage makes the experience of using the Sony ZV-E10 a lot more enjoyable knowing which insights, both bad and good, have come to light.This camera cage is the latest in design from SMALLRIG, at least it is in April of 2025. Including the larger cut out for the hot shoe mount and the arca plate swiss mount made right into the bottom of the cage. I don't want to restate all the improvements it's made, but rather point out this is better buy now, than it was a couple years ago. More bang for your buck!And out of the box, what you get is the cage and small baggie containing the securing clip, screw, and allen key. No plastic, I like that.I bought this camera cage mainly for protection of the Sony ZV-E10. The aluminum construction feels great and will protect the corners of the camera from falls that would have caused major damage. Even being aluminum, this will make the camera even more heavier; although, this is the case for all cameras. The cage also makes great use for extra mounting points to turn this little guy into a entry-level "Rig". With the addition of a cold shoe mount on the bottom, 1/4 - 20 and 3/8 inch screw points, you could mount monitors, stands, lights, and microphones. Three 1/4 - 20 threads along each side, four on top with one 3/8, and five on the bottom with a single 3/8 thread as well. I like that it comes with a small silver flat head tool that magnetizes itself into the bottom of the cage. Convenient. I like the fact that it has both 1/4 and 3/8 female threads. Versatile. The camera in it's stock form comes with a very subtle hand grip, I absolutely love the feel and added girth the cage gives you with its silicone grip solution. Incredible.A few drawbacks I noticed. I mount a Arca Swiss plate on the top of the cage with a 1/4 - 20 thread and clamp it to my overhead rig. If you want it dead center, you sacrifice the ability to switch the camera on/off because the switch itself becomes blocked by the overhang of the plate. I remedy this by just shifting it over one to left, and it works fine. And if you have tiny fingers, or small plate this could be your remedy! The depth at which the cage makes the battery compartment can be tricky to get the SD Card and Battery in and out. It's really not a big deal, just takes some time to get used to. Lastly, I may be very well doing it wrong, but the mounting clip that secures the camera to the cage, doesn't fit as tight as I would want it. Meaning, when securing the clip by inserting it into the camera's original dongle mounting location and using the provided screw to fasten them together, the clip doesn't look flush. I tried keeping the bottom screw loose and doing it again, but was unable to flatten it. I'll include pictures for you fam.These really are minor nuances and make no impact on overall satisfaction on the SMALLRIG camera cage for the Sony ZV-E10. Don't get it twisted, I love this thing! It's almost a necessity. Unless you want a really sleek and slim look. It's incredibly useful, with all it's mounting options and the protection it provides alone, is worth the reason to get one for yours. It's worth the cost compared to a new camera. No exaggeration. This cage is for anyone with this camera and I wouldn't recommend anyone to go without it!

Perfect fit on the camera. Lots of Mount locations. Gives the camera a bit more heft and the grip is a welcome addition. I’ve used smallrig products in the past so I knew I was getting a high quality piece of kit and I was not disappointed. Highly recommended to anyone that will be using the Sony ZV-E10 for vlogging or for desk mounting this camera.

I was not expecting this to enhance my camera's experience this much. This one is a must have, not only from a protection standpoint, but for expanded versatility of your camera. Installation was easy, but I did you have to youtube it because instructions are not included. Lightweight, Ergonomic, and fits great. Allows me to still use all add-ons and the extra 1/4 threads are amazing to have for different angles.

This is a great quality cage. It is really well built for the price point and fit perfectly. Also love the grip!

I’d say that most of the reviews here are pretty accurate. This cage is built well and the silicone grip makes it *much* more comfortable to hold. The extra mounts are much appreciated. My wife and I only have a couple small complaints:1) The cage slightly gets in the way of the shutter button. You can still press it with the side of your finger, but if you have larger fingers you might have some issues. I’m not sure they could make the cage any smaller to accommodate the button, though…2) The camera strap holes are a little narrow. This cage does not support our other Canon and Sony camera straps as they are too wide for the strap holes provided by the cage. The cage goes over one of the camera’s strap mounts, so you can’t use the camera’s built-in strap mounts while using the cage. Not a deal breaker, but now we need a new strap specifically for this cage.3) The cage gets in the way of some accessories (mics, lights, etc.) for the hot shoe. Your mileage may vary.Overall, this cage is great. You still have access to everything you need on the camera and it’s built like a tank. There is some added weight with the cage, which is actually appreciated if you’re using a slightly heavier or larger lens as it balances out. If you’re vlogging, using the camera as a webcam, or using the camera on a tripod the cage may not be necessary. However, if you’re doing long handheld sessions, or need a lot of additional mounts and accessories for your camera, this cage will do the trick.

i don’t think i’ve ever done a review for anything before but i love this cage so much it deserves to be the first. in my opinion this cage improves the feel of my zv e10 in hand immensely. i purchased this for added protection to my camera because i love it so much and it’s always in my hand.. but i wasn’t expecting for it to improve how the camera feels so significantly. if you’re on the fence about investing in one of these for your zv e10, don’t hesitate. it’s worth the money.

Good quality and, perfect fit.

Excellent product. Heavy duty. Metal. Clean finish, nice to look at. Very sturdy! Will buy another if I ever get another ZVe10!
