FAQ
<details open>
<summary>Question: What "Universal" actually means — which cameras fit?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Adjustable cage with sliding slots in the handle and base** — fits a wide range of mirrorless cameras from compact (Sony A6700, Fuji X-T5) up to larger full-frame bodies (Sony A7 IV, Canon R6 II, Lumix S5 II). Adjust the slot positions to match your camera's tripod-screw position and body height. Not a perfect form-fit (those are camera-specific cages) but works across multiple cameras.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: Tri-fold design — why does it fold?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Folds to 12.3 × 7.6 × 5.2cm — palm size.** That's smaller than a paperback book. Standard rigid cages are awkward to pack; the XJ01 tri-fold lets you keep the cage attached to your camera and still fit the body in a typical camera-bag camera slot. Travel / run-and-gun workflow.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: Half-cage or L-plate — what's the difference, when do I use which?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Half-cage configuration**: cage around the camera with handle on top for handheld shooting / mounting accessories on multiple sides. **L-plate configuration**: rotate via the pivot knob to convert the cage into an L-shaped bracket for vertical / portrait shooting on a tripod (Arca-Swiss L-bracket equivalent). One device covers both use cases without swapping rigs.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: What mounts does it have?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **NATO rail + cold shoe + ARRI locating mounts** plus standard 1/4" / 3/8" threads. The mount density supports mounting a mic + monitor + LED light + side handle simultaneously. Specific count varies by panel — the full feature set is on par with a camera-specific cage at twice the price.
</div>
</details>

<summary>Question: Camera Cage XJ01 ($79.99) vs Kit with C007 ($99.99) — worth +$20?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Cage XJ01 alone ($79.99)** — cage only, you mount your camera with a 1/4" screw. **Kit (+$20)** adds the **Uka Quick Release Plate + Base (C007)** — so the camera detaches from the cage in 1 second via the Uka QR. If you swap between handheld (cage on) and tripod (cage off) often, the Uka QR pays for itself in saved time. If you'll leave the camera in the cage permanently, save $20 with the standalone.
</div>

<details open>
<summary>Question: How heavy and what's the load?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **280g cage weight, 1kg safe load.** Light enough not to fatigue the wrist in handheld mode; rated for camera + lens + mic + monitor + LED accessory all at once. Materials: **aluminum alloy + stainless steel + silicone** — the silicone padding protects the camera body finish from scratches.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: Compared to camera-specific cages (Ulanzi Sony A7 IV cage, SmallRig cages)?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Camera-specific cages** — perfect form-fit, full button access, slightly lighter; tied to ONE camera model. **XJ01 Universal** — fits multiple cameras, foldable for transport, slightly less form-fit precision. Pick camera-specific if you shoot 95% on one body. Pick XJ01 if you swap between cameras OR if you travel and want a foldable cage in your bag.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: Will it block my camera's battery door / SD slot?</summary>
<div>
Answer: The sliding adjustment range positions the cage opening to clear the typical battery / SD slot positions on most cameras. **For your specific camera, check the mount alignment** — some Canon R-series have side-mounted slots that may need precise positioning of the cage to access. Most Sony / Fuji / Nikon mirrorless bodies have bottom-positioned slots that clear easily.
