Italian gear maker LockCircle do make so fine and very well crafted accessories for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Just look at their Sony a6500 cage for yourself here or their Bird Cage range for Sony A7sII style cameras. They even made a deserving high-end cage for the fancy Leica SL. They also make some pretty cool Zeiss cine lens conversions, and other bits and pieces.
Lately, they’ve been working on their latest accessory for the Canon 5D Mark IV – named 5DM4 DUAL. The LockCircle 5DM4 DUAL is an HDMI and USB 3.0 protector that also turns the Mini-HDMI into a full-sized HDMI type A, and the micro USB to a full-size USB 3.0 for a more robust and secure connection.
LockCircle has been making LockPort HDMI protectors for some time; they do them also Panasonic GH4, Sony A7sII/A7RII and other Canon cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II, Mark III, 6D and even the 1D X Mark II.
