Nitze Tablet Cage for iPad 1 to 10 Gen, iPad-Air 1 to 6 Gen, iPad-Pro 11" 2024/2022/ 2021/2020/ 2018, iPad-Pro 10.5" 2017, and Other 9" to 11" Tablet - T-TC03A

I’m a big fan of Nitze’s cinema gear. I swear by their side/top handles and have used them on a couple films now.I use an iPad as a remote/producer’s monitor sometimes (connected to the FX30 via the Monitor+ app): the tablet has a great big image, and the app gives me camera control without needing a terradek or hollyland setup (latency IS sometimes a thing, but rarely a deal-breaker). This cage from Nitze solved a few issues, making it easy to mount it on a tripod (via Kondor Blue QR plate). The 1/4 20 mounts all over allow me to attach a v-mount plate to power the iPad all day, and I got the Nitze side handles for grip. This is a great and easy solution for solo filmmakers / content creators as well. Nitze’s gear is solidly built and rugged enough to hold up to my most aggressive filming days.

If you are like me and you are looking for an iPad cage with 1/4", 3/8" and cold shoe mounting points that also protect the edges of the tablet, you know there aren't that many options. If you own an Accsoon SeeMo, it's tempting to buy one of their cages for the integrated SeeMo mounting plate, however, I think the Nitze might accommodate more tablets. The Nitze cage also has more mounting points and at the time of writing this, it's more affordable, even if you threw in Accsoon's mounting adapter plate for your SeeMo. The only disadvantages I can see with the Nitze is that the kickstand is fairly short and might not be adequate when the cage is loaded with heavy accessories at the top, though I think that's a rare use case. Also, horizontal adjustment is locked, so while the two iPads I own fit, they can slide a bit unless the cage is clamped super tight. It's not deep enough to fit my iPads with their protectors, I imagine some slim cases might fit well enough, but they might also cause the charging port to shift to the point a cable can't be plugged in. On the plus side, all buttons are accessible, and this cage has NATO rails which the Accsoon cage doesn't have. All in all, it's a solid cage that adds a lot of mounting options for an iPad, and I've been happy with it.

This is the first time I've seen a video cage for an iPad and had to have it. When in the studio I find that I use my iPad to shoot video more often than my phone or DSLR because I love the larger screen to view what I'm filming. This cage is perfect for taking iPad shooting/vlogging to the next level. The device is easy to install by stretching the cage open, similar to a phone mount. I was able to use my current accessories and add handles to each side, there's a cold shoe for a mic, and many 1/4 screws for other accessories such as lights. I really like that you can attach a battery pack to the back so you can extend your shooting time. Now, I can use my iPad as a monitor on my DSLR as well. Very versatile product!The material is high quality and durable metal, very sturdy to protect your iPad and hold accessories. Having a handle attached to each side makes steady shooting very simple. I absolutely love it and highly recommend.

A stylish and versatile iPad cage that enables a lot of mounting options.The installation is easy and the overall protection is great.However, there is a minor issue that the charging port might be blocked by the thick edge of the edge. You won't be able to use those charging cables that come with a thick charging head. This won't be an issue if you are using the Apple original USBC charging cable.
