Today’s phones often double as feature-packed cameras capable of crisp photos and cinema-quality video (just ask Apple). While many of these features are casually lauded by their manufacturers, if you want to get that level of quality from your phone you’ll need a dedicated rig. That’s where Moment’s SuperCage and BaseCage come in.

Why We’re Interested
As I previously mentioned, many of today’s phones boast the ability to help you create cinematic quality footage but many of the phones still suffer from limitations – like crappy microphones and limited storage – the Moment SuperCage helps videographers address these issues by making an all-in-one rig that puts all the necessary peripherals right on your rig. Like any good video cage, the SuperCage and BaseCage are chock full of threaded mounts and slots for cold shoes allowing you to add everything from lights, mics, and hard drives securely onto your rig. Best of all, the open rail system will not lock you into any particular ecosystem – providing longevity to the cage as your needs change.
Moment SuperCage & BaseCage Pricing Availability
If you’re looking for a cage system for mobile videography that will not limit you to a handful of accessories, or if you’re looking for a cage solution that can double as a central hub for your videography peripherals then the BaseCage and SuperCage are worth a second look. Typically, I will not cover a Kickstarter for a new device/accessory, but Moment has had a solid track record of bringing their Kickstarter campaigns into viable products. The Kickstarter campaign has already exceeded its goal of $25k with the first batch of cages set to begin shipping in December 2024. Just a bit of caution, these cages are designed to work with an iPhone 15 Pro or newer and the Pixel 7/Galaxy S23 or new on the Android side. You can enter your pledge and get a discount on the SuperCage for $160 and the BaseCage for $103 using our link here: Moment via Kickstarter.
