Wooden Camera has released an upgraded version of their popular Director’s Monitor Cage. It allows you to conveniently mount a monitor along with a wireless video receiver of your choice, all in a durable cage with wooden handles. This monitor cage v2 seems to be a perfect fit for spoilt directors!
The handles of the Monitor Cage v2 are now made out of wood and are collapsible, too (and tool-less!). The same goes for the whole back of the cage. For accessing the back panel of your monitor and attaching the wireless receiver, you can swing away the rear thanks to the clever use of a supplied 15mm rod.
KNOWN & POSSIBLE MISSING ACCESSORIES:
There are plenty of spare screws and bolts.
I am unsure if any screws are missing, because many have already been used in constructing the cage. The following accessories are definitely missing:
* Wooden Camera neck strap
* Velcro cable management loop
* Sun Shade
* Sun Shade (velcro loop for Odyssey)
This item is sold with only the pictured parts, nothing more. That means l will not be able to accept post-sales enquiries about screws / bolts. I don't mean to be mean in saying that, it's just a matter of fact that l cannot be sure if a screw for a particular monitor type is missing. I can say though, that l'd be very surprised if there were a known compatible monitor from the list below that it could not mount:
COMPATIBLE MONITORS:
* Blackmagic Video Assist
* SmallHD DP4, DP6, AC7, DP7, 700 series
* TVLogic VFM-056W/WP, VFM-058W
* Ikan D5, VK7i, VH8, VL5, VX9e
* Convergent Design Odyssey 7, 7Q
* Atomos Samurai, Ninja, Shogun
* and many more (up to 9 inches – measured diagonally)FREEBIE Wooden Camera WC IDX V-Mount Battery Plate with Dual D-Tap Outputs (= battery port adapter):
The additional IDX V-Mount Camera Battery Plate is sold without warranty, it is just included as a freebie. I have tested its ports. When facing the IDX logo / the battery V mount, the port on the top right is confirmed to be a functioning D-tap port. The specification for the IDX P-V2 has it as capable of 50W output maximum. I am unsure what the port on the bottom left is, it is said to be a D-tap port and does resemble such but the notch is on the wrong edge, and thus l cannot attach the same D-tap lead to it that l tested the opposite port with, and thus l cannot confirm if that second port is working. Please assume it is not.
