The added beauty of the MHC-2 handle is the integrate Samsung T5 SSD holder. The alternative sunhood with integrated Samsung T5 SSD holder with lockable USB-C connections There is a slightly smaller handle option (MHC-1) that takes a Canon LP-E6 battery, but this can only power the focus control system, not the camera itself. This grip can also power and control the Tilta Nucleus-M Focus Control unit by way of a finger operated wheel. The ingenious MCH-2 battery grip with integrated focus unit control and Samsung T5 SSD holder But what's got our attention is the MHC-2 side handle power option, which allows a Sony F970 battery to be fitted inside the handle grip, which can then also power external accessories. There is also an option of an LCD shade with a built in SSD holder for the excellent value Samsung T5 SSD. This will of course be great for long form recording. One is to have an adjustable height mini V-lock or Sony F970 baseplate cage that attaches to the underside of the camera. Tilta are offering two solutions to power. In contrast the new Tilta cage looks to be an ingenous solution to the problems.

But all of them are a bit ugly and look 'added on'. Now there are a couple of options for the latter from other manufacturers, and there are a couple of power solutions out there. The first is battery life, and the second is where or how to mount an SSD drive for recording through the USB-C port. The P4K has a couple of things that would be nice to solve design wise. However I might be persuaded to change my mind with this new design from Tilta for Blackmagic Design's new P4K (Pocket Cinema Camera 4K) camera. I simply do not want my gear to be any more cumbersome or heavy than absolutely neccesary.

On the one hand I would prefer to keep my cameras close to the original design. There are now a few options on the market for a Blackmagic Design P4K cage, but this one from Tilta could well be the most impressive we've seen for any camera!Ĭages are one of those things that I am torn with.
