TILTA Camera Cage Kit with Follow Focus for BMPCC 4K & 6K — Aluminium Alloy, 1.44 kg
$400.75
Description
The TILTA TA-T01-A camera cage kit is built around one of the most demanding cinema cameras in its class — the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K. Machined from aluminium alloy and weighing 1.44 kg, the cage wraps the BMPCC body in a precisely fitted protective shell that adds structural rigidity without compromising access to ports, controls, or the battery compartment. The integrated follow focus system delivers the precise, repeatable focus pulls that handheld and shoulder-mounted cinema work demands. Available in two kit configurations (Kit A and Kit B) and two finishes (Tilta Gray and Tactical Gray), each tier is designed for a different level of production complexity.
COMPATIBILITY WARNING
This cage is engineered specifically for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K. It is not compatible with other BMPCC models, other Blackmagic cameras, or any other brand. Please confirm your exact camera model before ordering.

Why This Product
- Material superiority: Aluminium alloy delivers the structural rigidity a cinema camera demands on a working rig — the BMPCC is a precision instrument and the cage treats it as one, protecting the body without adding unnecessary mass.
- Craftsmanship: TILTA’s precision machining ensures the cage fits the BMPCC 4K and 6K body without play or rattle — a snug fit that keeps the camera secure and the rig balanced under load.
- Design versatility: Two kit tiers allow you to start with a focused Kit B configuration and scale to a full Kit A rig as your production demands grow, without replacing the core cage.
- Practical advantage: The integrated follow focus system enables precise, repeatable focus pulls that are essential for narrative and documentary work — eliminating the need for a separate follow focus unit and the additional rigging that entails.
- Lifestyle fit: For the cinematographer who has chosen the BMPCC for its image quality and expects their support system to match that standard of intentionality.
Inventory and Project Guarantee
With 4 variant combinations across 2 kit tiers and 2 finishes, we monitor stock and import allocations closely to ensure your selected configuration is available when your production requires it.
If your chosen kit or finish is subject to a delay, we will upgrade you to the next available equivalent configuration at no extra cost, absorbing any price difference.
If no suitable alternative exists, a full refund will be issued promptly. We absorb the operational risk so your production timeline stays on track.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. For stubborn grime, use isopropyl alcohol on a microfibre cloth — avoid spraying directly onto the cage or follow focus mechanism.
- What to avoid: Do not submerge in water or use abrasive cleaners. Avoid prolonged exposure to salt air without cleaning.
- Follow focus care: Keep the follow focus gears clean and free of debris. A light application of dry lubricant on the gear teeth will maintain smooth operation.
- Hardware checks: Periodically check all screws, rod clamps, and mounting points for tightness after travel or heavy use. Re-tighten with the appropriate hex key as needed.
- Storage: Store in a padded case or bag when not in use to protect the cage, follow focus, and any attached accessories from impact damage.
