Do I Need to Remove the Strap Rings to Install a SmallRig Cage on Sony A7 IV/V?

Yes, for most A7 IV/V cages. To prevent the camera from twisting (wobbling) inside the cage, SmallRig uses a "Triple-Point Locking System" that utilizes the strap eyelets. You must remove the original triangle split rings and secure the cage using the side M2.5 screws. Exception: The new cages for A7 III / A9(e.g., Light Camera Cage for Sony A7 III/ A7R III/ A9) feature a new design that does not require removing the D-rings.

Should I Choose the Rotatable Mount Plate or an L-Bracket?

Choose the Rotatable Mount Plate if you shoot video with a gimbal; it rotates the sensor 90° while keeping the optical axis centered, so no rebalancing is needed. Choose the L-Bracket if you are a photographer needing a lighter setup and better grip protection, but be aware it shifts the center of gravity.

Can I Use My Old A7C Cage on the A7C II?

No. While visually similar, the A7C II has a slightly different grip depth and button layout. SmallRig has released specific cages for the A7C II / A7CR to ensure the anti-twist pins align correctly and battery door access is unobstructed.
