Why dont all cameras come with one of these!
OMG this thing is genius!
First it's gorgeous and uniquely looking.
Heavy duty
-- it does add some weight to an already lightweight camera a6300 but so worth the peace of mind it adds
Fits great on my tripod
People constantly stop me to ask what it is bc it looks great on the camera
Con
Wish they made it to protect the back part of the camera more. Maybe they make a full cage and I don't know it, but the one I got for my a6300 didn't offer any protection for the backside view screen
Sometimes the screw on the bottom becomes loose. Maybe im not tightening it up well enough but it is noticeable before it falls off/ gives you ample warning time to tighten. I just now carry a coin in my camera bag to tighten when I need to
Still love it... worth every dollar 10x over.

Durable, versatile, must haves for Sony a6300
There's not much to dislike about this product, my Sony a6300 loves this thing and so do I. This makes my camera look much more professional, my only complaint is that they don't include the grip for the front. I have medium sized hands so grabbing it isn't an issue, it just looks better with a hand grip. I went and had a custom 3D printed hand grip made. If you Google Sony a 6300 hand grip you'll find it and you can order it. I'm very satisfied with my purchase, I feel like this makes my camera look much more professional as well. If you're looking to start building a rig start here.

Well made custom mounting cage.
Do you want to protect your camera with something that doesn't add a bunch of weight or bulk? I do still photography and was looking at L brackets when I saw this product. What a great idea! It has a simple design that adds not only some protection, but most of the holes are 1/4 X 20 threads (the same hole as the tripod mount on the camera). I just popped on my tripod plate on the bottom and the side. Now if the tripod is level, and I don't want to move it, I just use either the bottom for landscape or the side for portrait.
The only thing that I would change is that I wish that there was a "set screw" for the bottom of the cage. There is a bit of wiggle without really cranking on the mount. A simple set screw in one of the holes in the bottom would eliminate the shifting without a super tight mounting screw. Other than that, this thing is great!

Pleasantly surprised
Everyone who has one of the Sony alphas knows there is an overheating issue with recording video for more than 15 minutes continuously, especially if the conditions temp wise are hotter. They shut off because they overheat, but I'm glad to say with this I believe the temp is displaying better. Because i can't take chances that it might happen again I purchased a very small fan and attached it to a USB power supply. This tiny small airflow is helping my Alpha camera. Plus there are tons of attachments that can go on here.

Best cage in the business.
You might call me a Small Rig fan boy, but when stuff works is well made and even comes packaged so well what is not to like. The small rig zip lock baggies never get tossed. Okay on with the review. I bought this for an a5100 and it fits. The 5100 is a little smaller than the 6000 series but extra room is okay. I will need to slightly modify it because the flip up LCD gets slightly cut off. This thing is so well made I am not worried about failure and at this price I may get another one and leave alone.

I bought this rig to help dissipate the heat from my Sony a6300 camera while filming. Many people have mentioned this helps. There are four rubber pads that cushion the camera that are easily removed so that the frame of the camera can be touching the cage to dissipate heat better otherwise there is no conduction.
It has helped significantly keep the heat down. I still open battery door, raise the flash and pull out the LCD display to help with cooling. As far as the cages purpose, I would imagine there are limitless ways to attach just about any camera accessory as the cage is riddled with threaded screw holes. In the case someone should drop their camera the cage would protect 90% of the camera.

This SmallRig is Stylish , protective and well made .
Meet my new friend ! I got my Sony alpha 6100 one month ago and it took me a while to decide what to get to protect it. I was searching for a camera cover but I needed something to be practical and easy for changing lenses . This smallrig was my choice. It’s very important for protecting the body . It’s light and well made and I just love the stylish look it adds to my camera . If you have a Sony alpha camera get it !

Awesome.
Great cage for the a6300! It helps solve the problem to some extent of overheating on the a6300 and also helps with attaching extra accessories like monitors etc. The cage is very light, but adds a high level of functionality to the a6300. I've now purchased two of these, one for each of my a6300's. Great product SmallRig at a good price.

What a nice little cage
For the price it’s great, sturdy construction and fits perfectly. Battery and mic input door is fully accessible, even the flash can still be popped out. A great and inexpensive way to mount light panels, monitors, mics or other attachments to your a6300 or a6000. Can’t say anything bad about it, 5 stars all around!

I'm in a cage
Ahhhh.
I used to have a cage for my a6300 that wasn't SmallRig. Now I have the SmallRig cage. So much better.
The newest version has great port access, great aesthetics, a nice snug fit, and feels durable. The flash shoe is nice and solid feeling and mounts a microphone well. I'm about to order the wood handgrip. This is a great cage.
