Any ideas about a cage for the GX9? I contacted Smallrig and they said they were not going to make a cage for the GX9. The size of the GX9 means form fitting cages for other cameras won't work. I work handheld using a half cage on my GH5 (Robot Skin GH5) that I bought for almost half price. I am looking at the Smallrig G7 cage, using it as a half cage. It looks like it may possibily work, but it would leave additional space between the the top of the camera and the top of the cage. Sizewise the G7 and GX9 are close to same size except for the G7 hump. Any thoughts on other cages that could work. Smallrig suggested the VersaFrame cage 1630 but that is ugly and with even the shortest cheeserod it is s-o-o-o tall compared to the height of the GX9. It seems it would stick up above the top plate. So, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I've got one lightly used because the Panasonic 12-60 comes together, the plan was to keep the lens and sell the body. But liked it more than I tought that would be, and my GX85 was sold.

The big bummer is the additional crop in 4k - very noticeable. But everything else is better than GX85 - tilting EVF (amazing to work in tripods), menus, speed, af switch, color science.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev I'm sure that the GX9 have the same LSI as the G9, with lower clock / memory and most limits made in firmware.
