The Nikon ZR is already great – but this SmallRig accessory turns it into the ultimate run-and-gun video camera

SmallRig cage kit for the Nikon ZR, attached to camera and held by videographer.

Nikon launched its first Z-series Cinema Camera this week, the Nikon ZR, just 18 months after acquiring RED Digital Cameras – check out my Nikon ZR hands-on review for my early impressions. And hot on its heels we now have the first must-have accessory for the camera, in the shape of the SmallRig Cage kit.

The gist of my hands-on is that, while I'll need to test the Nikon / RED model over a longer period, I already think it's a highly capable video camera, thanks to its partially stacked 24MP full-frame sensor, in-body image stabilization, 6K 60fps video, internal 12-bit RAW recording, RED color profiles, internal 32-bit float audio, impressive internal mics, and mighty 4-inch touch display.
