I bought a used cage for my Sony ZV-1 and put it on. Here is how the install went and the few things I would check before you do the same.
Installing the cage
The cage mounts with one screw into the camera’s tripod thread. Slide it on, then tighten the screw until the cage no longer wobbles. The fold-out display still works with the cage on, so you can flip it out as usual.
The quick release block covers the SD card and battery
The quick release blocks access to the SD card and battery slot. To swap either one, you have to take the camera off the cage first. Keep that in mind if you shoot long and change batteries often.
Mounting position
I mounted the block in the second hole from the right. The cage is rated for 2 kg, which is plenty for a ZV-1 with a small mic.
What I still want
I would like to use the camera in vertical mode on my DJI RS3 Mini. I have not got that working yet.
