I just ordered like 5 different cages for my Action 4 & 5 lol I think the Smallrig is going to be the best overall but its bigger, so on my helmet it blocks my air vents (size and weight matter when your wearing it on your face lol) Also I cant open the cage from the side (to remove the camera) so I have to undo the mount fasteners to tilt it down every time.

So I'll end up with one cage for helmet, and another for motorcycle.

Another thing to note is the Smallrig is the only one that really keeps the buttons from being pressed for the most part from a drop by recessing the buttons, whille t he others mostly add a pass thru button.

OMG YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER THANK U SO MUCH FOR TESting them there was no video like this

Does anybody know of a cage that supports filters?

[DimaCH]

I did try all 3 of them and stopped on Ulanzi one. And... i really suggest you to get Ulanzi's ballhead for Osmo Action. First of all it comes with magnetic quick release mount, but what is more important it has one more cold shoe on the side. So you can mount some light on the top of the camera and shotgun mike on that ballhead, and use wind fur. Cuz it's gonna be far away from camera lens.

I love reviews that takes use case in mind. For example, I think the smallrig is the best for me as I also have DJI mics. I also want to note that I find the smallrig magnetic clips easier to use than the original DJI. I do a lot of outdoor shooting in Canadian winter. Easy clip use is useful in the cold.

For my motorcycle helmet's chin mount, the Small Rig works best. Can plug in the receiver and mount the transmitter inside the helmet, and have great audio and video.

Thank you for such a great comparison on all these cages. I was very worried about using the DJI mic receiver latched to the camera but after watching you video I'm leaning towards the small rig cage 😁. But before I finally buy the small rig cage, I want to know if the we can mount the DJI mic receiver onto the cold shoe mount and if it will securely hold the receiver or should I be getting another small rig cold shoe mount with a ¼" thread for secured mounting. I use my action 3 on a adhesive helmet mount and sometimes on a handlebar mount.

Donny, thanks so much for your time and for your genuine feedback and opinions on products. I'm just starting out my research into action cameras and your channel was very much a welcome discovery. As for being 40, yes according to statistics for the US, you have approximately 40 Christmases left so make them count. Cheers Mate

I was told the small rig mount does NOT lock to the cage.. does it?

[streetlife]

Bam using small rig…. Now I’m switching to pgytech…it just looks better lol

[ronaldhamburg]

Thank you for helping me to make a good decision for my action 3

[printworksgarage]

Hey, great comparison video!
I came across this video trawling through a load of contend here as I’m considering buying an Osmo Action 4 to learn more about creating videos. I really enjoyed your straight to the point honesty, subbed while watching the videos and will probably spend the rest of my rainy afternoon over here in the UK watching your other uploads. Keep up the good work good sir!

[HescottDesignCo]

Hi! Just wanted to say I enjoy the channel…new subscriber here. You have a very genuine and authentic way…it’s appreciated for sure. Keep up the great work! I’m trying my hand at YouTube as well, and I know it’s not easy! Good stuff man 👊🏼

I know this is an old video I just ordered the Action 3 and am looking for a good cage and stumbled across the SmallRig. I have heard complaints that the SmallRig magnetic mount will rattle, is that true? I am looking to use it as a dedicated "dash cam" for vlogging off road adventures here in Montana. Our trails around here aren't the smoothest in a Jeep so if the mount rattles, I know the camera will go nuts picking up all that extra noise and movement. Thoughts, opinions, ideas?

Thank you!

[secondmindfilms]

It's funny the PGYTech is the one I actually want to try the most out of those!
My guess is 282!

[papayaman]

You missed the Telesin, Neewer, Tilta, and Nitze cages....

[United_By_Water]

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together! I'm gonna swing with 190

[amsidsnow]

Thank you for this one, it’s straight forward and great!👍🏾👍🏾

[PattayaNightWalker]

Thanks Donny B, , , , 5 cage showdown.... extra sauce.... thanks for the time and effort to help me make my decision as I just bought the DJI OA4

Attention: The cages are great and have different mounting options and side openings. However, they are not to be used when riding a motorcycle. All metal cages with a metal lever or slider for the side openings will rattle and rattle. From a certain speed you only hear a rattling and rattling. It even gets on my nerves while driving. The sound of the recording can no longer be used.
