Cage for Atomos Shogun: PV Gear KavalCage

In my ongoing quest to find a solid cage for my Atomos Shogun 4K recorder, I came across the PV Gear KavalCage. As I’ve mentioned before, I love the Shogun for the beautiful ProRes footage it captures but I have worried about its durability with its plastic casing and glass face. This thoughtfully designed, aluminum cage provides solid protection for your Shogun and includes retention systems for both the HDMI input and output as well as the DC power and audio Lemo cables. It is also the most aggressively priced aluminum cage for Shogun that I’ve encountered so far. Let’s take a closer look!
