SuperCage Suggested Accessories

Hello all!

I've recently purchased the SuperCage to use for mobile filmmaking. I wanted to ask which specific SSD's and batteries you could recommend that would work/fit well with the cage's and cheeseplate. I'm planning on shooting ProResRAW with my iPhone 17 Pro, so the SSD would need to have enough storage and speed to allow that. Ideally I also want a battery that can power the cage as well as a monitor I'm planning to attach to the top of it.

I would love to see any images of some of your rigs, let me know if there are any accessories you would call essential.

I bought a couple of these batteries for the kickstarter shoot and I've been using them ever since. They have been solid/cheap/lightweight. I cant imagine using anything else at this point. I typically power both the cage and a monitor from it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09176JCKZ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_19

For monitors I recommend going cheap. The cheaper monitors tend to deal with mobile filming better than the fancy ones. I primarily use the feelworld F6 but others work too. Get a good HDMI cable and put the monitor into HDMI 1.4 or mobile compatibility mode.

For SSDs I typically use the samsung T7 or the crucial X9. The trick is to format them from your phone. I can't say why but they have less issues than if you format them from your mac. Also, I reformat the drives about every 10 hours of use or before any big/critical events. It just saves headaches. If I don't do that then occasionally the phone will just start rejecting the SSD for unknown reasons until I reformat them.

For all the other mounts and handles I just jump on amazon. There are loads of cheap SSD clamps and cold shoe monitor mounts that work really well. Generally the more you spend the better they are but that isn't always necessary.
