If you use the cold shoe accessory of the DJI MIc and place the receiver in the cold shoe of the cage, you can turn it front or rear, depending on the direction you want it in. The audio interface is also present in the USB charging port of the receiver, so you can just run a USB-C cable from the receiver to the camera. Yes, the cage has that recess, but I still find it more sturdy and secure in the cold shoe.
You are correct, I should have included that option in my video, I use that option once in a while when I want to turn the receiver towards the front of the camera. I appreciate your feedback!
Agree use the cold shoe adapter with the receiver and a 3.5mm to USB-c cable. Also I don't worry so much about overlapping the shutter button, I just use the voice command to stop and start recording. I also have a remote for my Action 2 that is compatible with the action 3. Good video, you bring up excellent points on both cages.
Thanks, very helpful video. I just bought an action 4 & discovered my DJI wireless mic doesn’t fit with the included cage so I’ve been looking for an alternative also with a cold shoe mount 👍
Great informative video, recently bought a DJI Action 3 and was looking at various accessories. This video definitely helped me in choosing a replacement cage to the supplied one. Keep up the good work!
This is a great video. I’m glad I found it! I’d just watched the one with the gentleman who said you must remove the lens to get the camera into the Smallrig cage haha. Thanks for taking the time to give such detailed explanations of all three cages
The only thing I'd add to your excellent review is using a short USB C to C lead like the ones that come with DJI drones and using that to link up to the receiver mounted on the cold shoe on top of the SmallRig cage, rather than that extension, that looks a bit fraught with danger. Best Dave
thanks for the reply Dave, I agree that is an option I should have included! it also would have shown how the shutter button is exposed whit the reciever in the cold shoe. I appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!
Great idea. Does the USB C port on the side of the DJI mic receiver function the same as the USB C adapter that slides into the bottom of the receiver? If it does, then that's a game changer for me. I've never dared to use my DJI mic on my Osmo Action 3 while mounted on my E-Trike due to all the bouncing and shaking .
@@Jerryob100 Hi Jerry, yes! The usb on the side of DJI MIC receiver functions the same way as the usb mount on the bottom! I hope that makes your life easier! Let me know how it works for you. Greg
I’ve just jumped from the GoPro Ecosystem after struggling to overcome the bugs and glitches - to DJI and the A3. While the A3 is on it’s way to me, your review on the cages is much helpful to start spendy spendy on accessories. Much Thanks!
I received my Smallrig cage today. I just wish it were a little lighter in weight. Had one on my AO1 & ended up buying a lighter weight cage for it to use on a gimbal for RV tours. Of course, I can still use that camera, but this little cage is heavy. Thx for your review.
Thanks for the great video. Curious what the brand name and model of the Magnetic Magic arm Mount is? If you could send a link I'd appreciate it. Thanks
I bought mine from Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B09HJZMQV5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and paid $13.99 ea., but it looks like the supplier has changed and the price jumped also. you might have more luck watching Ebay for better deals.
i planning to get the smallrig cage, because the same reason you have. the usb c mount for mic is something i need it to be properly mount. aside that, the pgytech and ulanzi is very similiar to each other. i am using the ulanzi j12 mic and i found a small work around by using a usb C L shape extension. and it works good. but i can't do that if i use pgytech and ulanzi cage, and i have to use the same extension u did, which i want to avoid (same reasons). the L shape extension is more safer and solid compare to the regular extension. after doing some watching around i found out the smallrig cage would be the best option for me. the only downside for smallrig would be the extra 20g weight (maybe a big deal for drones fpv user). but for me, i am only using it for my pov vlog shots, so the smallrig would be my 1st choice, since it doesnt add much weight when i walk around. also, you definitely need to use the dji OA3 mount because they are taller.
Thanks for your feedback, I agree, it is slightly heavier, but the advantages still "outweigh" the added weight in my opinion. Glad I could help you with your research and decision!

That was a great review, thanks. I bought the PGYTech and found later that it didn't fit the DJI mic, was so annoyed. Also I have invested in a number of Ulanzi Quick Claw mounts that use 1/4 20 so I can switch different cameras over different tripods, selfie sticks etc. So the Smallrig will be perfect for me. Thanks again.👍
Great video! I love the quick mount on the DJI's - but being someone who puts it on a motorcycle helmet and rides fast, should I be worried about the mount failing? I just bought the action 4, so I haven't researched too much yet. Again I love how quick it is to go from my helmet to a tripod mount and back again.
Great reviews! Was locked in on the pygtech cage for the action 4 until I saw your review for the smallrig. Not as sleek but functionally it wins. Thanks for your work!
Greg, nice comparison - I selected the Small Rig case and am pleased. I was wondering who makes the magnetic car mount that you showed? Thanks on much.
Very helpful Video ! I got the OA4 yesterday and look for a cage, i had the smalrig one with the first Osmo Action and it was awesome. Thanx 4 your work in comparing for us =) I subbed , like ur Style ! Greetings !
Thank you for this very informative video. I agree with everything you said, I just purchased the dji Osmo Action 3 and love it. I also noticed how cheap the original cage is and the Small Rigs cage is the only cage I really liked. That being said, I use Small Rigs components as well and was why I was choosing their camera cage. Now that I actually got to see a review of it and comparisons made, the choice is clear.

Hello. Thanks for this review. I just realize that my Action4 lens does not have that rubber protection. I also bought the Adv Combo set. Did yours came with the set?
Отличный обзор на кейсы, выбираю для камеры А4!! Походу smallrig выигрывает😊😊😊😊!! А вы не видели клетку от фирмы Tilta?? Посмотреть бы и ее для сравнения с smallrig!! Вам всего хорошего!!😊😊😊
Attention: The cages are great and have different mounting options and side openings. However, they are not to be used when riding a motorcycle. All metal cages with a metal lever or slider for the side openings will rattle and rattle. From a certain speed you only hear a rattling and rattling. It even gets on my nerves while driving. The sound of the recording can no longer be used.
I have not experienced any rattling noise when recording directly from the camera on either my E-bike or motorcycle. If you do, i recommend trying the DJI Mic or Rode wireless mic rather than the built in mic (or any wireless mic). Thanks for the feedback!
seems like the SmallRig (last cage) cold shoe location covers the mic at the top. So if I were to use the mount, my videos would be muffled somewhat correct?
The cold shoe is over the camera speaker, not the microphone, so it will not muffle your audio input, but you might not hear as well during playback on your camera. hope this helps!
I wouldn’t call it a design flaw, maybe my fat fingers are the flaw 😊. When the camera is mounted on anything besides a selfie stick, you may not be able to just spin the camera or change hands. It’s just an idea that works for me but may not be for everyone. I do appreciate the feedback and taking the time to watch!
You are a genius, with using that screw. I was having the same problem getting my fingers in to get the camera off.
Great review. No filler or garbage. Just straight info. Thanks.
I appreciate the feedback! Thanks!
Chock full of worthwhile information. Well done sir! I've purchased the Smallrig cage and a bag of those 10 32 Screws : )

No the rubber rim is not for protection. It is for grip. And good luck replacing them when you do need it for grip during temperature changes.

@@greghoertergreat video, and thank you for the additional links! I am building my order details, and this will help!
What about the tilta cage?
Sorry, I don’t know anything about it so I cannot offer an opinion, I’d love to hear yours!
Hello. Thanks for this review. I just realize that my Action4 lens does not have that rubber protection. I also bought the Adv Combo set. Did yours came with the set?
Yes, the action 3 came with 2, not sure about the A4, may have discontinued it.
@@greghoerter yes might be. Thanks for your reply. Have a nice day. 👍
Отличный обзор на кейсы, выбираю для камеры А4!! Походу smallrig выигрывает😊😊😊😊!! А вы не видели клетку от фирмы Tilta?? Посмотреть бы и ее для сравнения с smallrig!! Вам всего хорошего!!😊😊😊
Thanks for commenting, I have not seen the Tilta cage, let me know what you think of it.
Attention: The cages are great and have different mounting options and side openings. However, they are not to be used when riding a motorcycle. All metal cages with a metal lever or slider for the side openings will rattle and rattle. From a certain speed you only hear a rattling and rattling. It even gets on my nerves while driving. The sound of the recording can no longer be used.
I have not experienced any rattling noise when recording directly from the camera on either my E-bike or motorcycle. If you do, i recommend trying the DJI Mic or Rode wireless mic rather than the built in mic (or any wireless mic). Thanks for the feedback!
Great Video...
I appreciate that! thanks for watching!
@@greghoerter u welcome…
Does the DJI Mic cold shoe mount fit on the top of the pgytech cage??
Yes you can, but the receiver will partially block the shutter button. Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe if you liked this content!
Hi! Why do you need the shutter buton when the camera works gret with voice comand?
4k/60fps no stop recording with voice ccontrol😊
Anyone here who is still deciding for Smallrig or Ulanzi Cage?
Buy 2 products, use them, make a RUclips video reviewing them -- then return one when done with it 👍
seems like the SmallRig (last cage) cold shoe location covers the mic at the top. So if I were to use the mount, my videos would be muffled somewhat correct?
The cold shoe is over the camera speaker, not the microphone, so it will not muffle your audio input, but you might not hear as well during playback on your camera. hope this helps!
@@greghoerter thank you for the clarification on this. Always nice to hear from someone that knows what they are talking about.
Does it fit will action 4. Pls give me an answer
Yes
Greg sounds handsome, I like older men.
You can't get your thumb on the release tab so 'its a design flaw?'? Seriously? Then spin the camera around, ffs. I'm out. This is dumb
I wouldn’t call it a design flaw, maybe my fat fingers are the flaw 😊. When the camera is mounted on anything besides a selfie stick, you may not be able to just spin the camera or change hands. It’s just an idea that works for me but may not be for everyone. I do appreciate the feedback and taking the time to watch!
