In typical LUMIX fashion, the S1RII and now the S1II and S1IIE swing well above their weight class. To have such feature-rich options at their price point is truly remarkable. As such, we wanted to create a cage ecosystem matching the camera’s prowess. The LUMIX S1RII/S1II/S1IIE cage features an evolution of the KONDOR BLUE Mid-Rail introduced on our LUMIX GH6 Cage. This greatly enhances the overall strength and rigidity of the rig.

Additionally, the nested strap loop inserts keep this cage mounted rock-solid to the camera body. The cage allows users to take advantage of the various screen orientations fully. The Left Side and Top Plates are securely interlocked with an ARRI rosette. The rosette is perfectly placed to be used with the KONDOR BLUE Wing Side Handle, which features run/stop functionality. The combination makes for an amazing run-and-gun setup. Per usual, the cage comes fully loaded with all the KONDOR BLUE perks–built-in tools, standard mounting holes/patterns, and bubble level. Of course everything is also backed by our lifetime warranty. Designed to protect, amplify, and inspire, the KONDOR BLUE LUMIX S1RII/S1II/S1IIE Cage was made for creators who aren’t looking to compromise.

*The Panasonic LUMIX S1RII/S1II/S1IIE cage does not include a body cap. Compatible with the Panasonic DMW-XLR2 XLR Microphone Adapter.
