Here's a look at the new FotoDiox Shark Camera Cage for the Sony A7R II or Sony A7s II cameras. It's more of a half-cage style rig with a wooden side handle. It is available in two color finishes - Samurai Silver and Pitch Black.
One thing to note is that this cage design blocks access to the Sony Multi-function hotshoe just in case you're working with the Sony XLR adapter (seen here). The Shark Cage comes with a Top Handle, 15mm Base, (2) 15mm Aluminum Rods, locks for HDMI and audio cables, and enough room to support various lens adapters.
Besides the Sony A7sII and Sony A7RII, the new FotoDiox SharkCage designs are also available for the Panasonic GH4
and Samsung NX1
cameras (here)

Can you mount say a rode video mic pro or a rode link system on the top handle for a more compact run and gun set up?

Thanks for the help... Yeah, I really needed a tablet I can transfer data from SD card to a client's flash drive so I need a usb 2.0. Also, I use the hdmi wifi splitter for multi camera shoots that links multiple tablets. I might just have to stick to my laptop.

Post author@Denny - I'm not sure about any tablets with HDMI 'input'. Most are for video output only. Why not just a proper monitor instead of a tablet?

Hey, Emm, I'm about to purchase a presale A7sII from your link. I was wondering if there are any tablets with hdmi and usb that can be used as a monitor that won't break the bank. I'm looking at the Toshiba Encore 2 with windows 8.1. Would that work?
Thanks.
