A Wooden Camera Pocket/Micro cage is $99/$120. and the fixed 15mm rail mount base is $150; while the Movcam Pocket cage with 15mm rail fixed base $325.00, Tilta is $359, while the Wooden Camera kit total is $250/$270 respectfully. Wooden Camera makes a replacement foot for the Metabones Speed booster that locks the Speed Booster to the cage, eliminating rotational play in the MFT mount and will work on the Micro cage also, for Movcam and Tilta, this is not available. Also, the WC cable lock system, while slightly more expensive, offers separate locks for the HDMI and power connections, and several different cables can be used with it, not just the HDMI D adapter cable built into the Movcam cable lock/adapter.
So Ashok, I would tend to disagree with your rating list. However, you can add Zacuto to the option B list, it is more expensive, but innovative and very extensive with their product line up to support the various cameras being used today. However, the Wooden Camera cage is the only one I have found currently available for the BM Micro camera, along with the recently released Hontoo BM Micro camera cage selling for $280. The Micro Studio/Cinema camera which we the subject of the discussion, so I am limiting my options for what is available for these two BM cameras. Pocket camera cage was for cost comparison only.
