Love the honest feedback! Thanks guys! We definitely did prioritize build quality, strength and built-in features (nato rails, bubble level, spring loaded pins, sensor plane markers, rosette, etc) over weight and comfort in this cage. With such amazing video features in the S5iiX we leaned into the pro cinematography needs. That being said we are making future iterations easier to take on and off. Keep up the good content!
The Kondor Blue cage is definitely not for handholding. It’s so aggravating that the record button is blocking my index finger. I have to adjust to use my thumb to press record when holding my camera. 😩
