Unlike the Media Mod, you don't have to remove the cage to replace battery. SmallRig must have re-design the battery door for easy removal. My Gopro 13 fits into this cage snugly. The camera has not overheated on me yet, but then I don't shoot more than 15 minutes at a time and always outdoor. I can always remove the battery door if the camera gets too hot. Review: USEFUL AND GOOD VALUE. - Well designed, perfect fit. Gives two cold shoe mounts to add lights or other accessories. There is easy access to the batter door and unlike the GOPRO media mod case, you can change memory cards and batteries without removing the case. The unit comes with a battery door allowing charging access or provides a usb port for the GOPROaudio connection. Unfortunately you can’t charge and. Attach the audio at the same time as both use the same single usb port. The clip on audio connection holder works very well however, I found that without the GOPRO audio unit, keeping the case on the GOPRO, TENDS TO AFFECT THE AUDIO QUALITY OF THE ON BOARD GOPRO built in mic, it produces strange results. ## Features - For GoPro Hero13 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 Black: The Cage 3083C is an all-in-one full cage which is compatible with microphones, LED lights, providing a perfect Vlog filming solution. - Dual Cold Shoe Mount: The cage comes with cold shoe mount on the top and right side, which can compatible with for GoPro light mod and common microphone, LED video light at the same time. - Moulded Design: The cage fits the camera so well that it does not block the screen, buttons and USB-C port.
