The STR-A6 is a new form-fitting camera cage direct from Ikan. The frame is shaped to accommodate the Sony a6500 as well as other cameras, like the a6400, a6300, and a6000, that share the same camera body. The cage comes in three main parts: the top handle, the base, and the camera frame.The top handle mounts directly to a true NATO rail, with two hard stops to keep it from sliding off of the rail should it come loose. There are 40 1/4-20 mounts on the top handle when it is bare, but the grip can be covered with Ikan grips or, if custom grips are needed, can fit most bicycle handles. A 15mm rod can also be inserted into the end of the handle and held in place with a 1/4-20 screw through one of the many mounts. a cold shoe mount is located at the front of the handle, near where it connects to the frame’s NATO rail.
