JTZ DP30 Electronic Camera Cage Stabilizer w/ 15mm Rail Rod Base Plate Rig and Electronic Top Handle for Panasonic Lumix GH3 GH4 GH5 GH5s GH6 DSLR Camera, Supports Zoom, Focus, REC Start/Stop

I really wanted to like this cage system more but the top handle really let me down. Let's get into the positives first which is the cage itself. Included in the box was bottom plates for a GH4 and GH5. That plate fit on my GH5S just fine. Again I really liked the cage system itself. Everything had a nice finished feel and aluminum build. Wasn't very heavy. The routing of the control cables could be a little better. In the pictures you can see the basic cable setup you need to get the record button on the top handle to work. Not a very clean look but it works.The camera is on a quick release plate so you can easily remove it from the cage. There is another quick release system to remove the cage from the rail setup. Then there is a third release for the bottom plate itself. Every fit and slid together well and felt super secure.Then there is the top handle. This is where I was really disappointed. It's plastic. The bottom area where you connect to the nato rail on the top of the cage is metal but most everything else is plastic including the actual handle itself. This was a huge disappointment. Everything else in the kit was metal and felt very high quality. I don't know why they didn't continue that superior build quality to the top handle. There is no way I would trust holding up my expensive camera rig from a plastic handle. Of course you could just not use the handle but then why pay more for a camera cage setup like this if you don't get the advantage of those top controls on the handle?
