Tooga – the Modular Camera Gear Accessory Unit

There are a lot of cages, dollys  and other video accessories on the market today for all the avid videographers and HDSLR shooters. Two art students from LA – Kay Kim and Benson Lam recently came up with an idea for a system that will use a basic shell (called Tooga Shell) which will serve as the basic building block for a whole range of video accessories ranging from guerrilla cages tiny dollys and even suction mounts.

The cage was made to fit anything within the dimensions of 6in x 6in (including pro bodies such as a Canon EOS 5D Mark III or Nikon D800). The Tooga Cage’s cheese-plate also provides several 1/4-20″ thread mounts, 3/8-16″ thread mounts, and couple of cold shoe mounts to attach all your accessories.
