Received this beautiful cage for the X2DII from @falcam_global awhile back.

The cage itself prioritises design fit and accessibility above all else. It’s mainly there as protection if that’s why you need. It fits the camera near close to perfection almost as if it cane with it. It adds an arca swiss L plate at the side and a hiding spot for an AirTag (which I think ALL cages should have).

The finish itself is beautiful but will wear down overtime. After a month of using it, I’ve got nicks and discolouring which I guess tells me it’s doing the job of protecting the camera from daily use.

The video doesn’t show it but it takes awhile to put on. Unlike most cages that can be done in a few minutes, it took my close to 15/20 mins to set the whole thing up. Granted, I was also filming but the cage isn’t something you can just take on and off. Lots of small screws but that’s part of having a flush design. It doesn’t rattle or move around when installed on the camera.

Also, if you are very particular, during the setup the cage actually scratched my camera so be extra careful if you like pristine cameras.

Overall, I think the option to add the AirTag is huge feature and worth the price of the cage alone. The added feature of the L-bracket and extra protection is a bonus and the design is the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend.
