The Metal Jacket is a special LockCircle cage project designed to fit like a glove around
the Leica SL (Typ 601) camera, to enhance the cinematic feeling when shooting motion pictures.

One of its features is the exclusive “Asymmetrical Cage Design” for right hand camera grabbing/control with
the original Leica SL camera ergonomic feeling for “still and motion” production without limitations.

The Metal Jacket is available in “Classic Black” anodized finish,
or in hard anodized (Mil-Spec) “Dura-T (Tactical Grey)” or “Dura-K (Kant Titanium Brown)” for uncompromising quality.

The Metal Jacket has 105 threads 1/4”-20 and 20 threads 3/8”-16 for multi accessories mounting
like viewfinders, 4K HDMI Recorders, monitors and heavy-duty camera mounting requested by the film industry.
The Metal Jacket cage is incredibly lightweight (225gr- 7.9 o.z.),
and has several threads to mount the (AC) tape measurement (titanium pin) hook at the exact sensor focal plane.

The Metal Jacket integrates, with the CineBlock interface mount, the original CW Sonderoptic Leica SL-PL Mount creating
a monolithic rock solid cinematic production camera: perfect to shoot with Summicron-C and Summilux-C Leica Cinema (Academy Awarded) lenses.

The camera baseplate offers really secure mounting with a 1/4”- 20 and 3/8”-16 threads (titaniun camera screws supplied),
the camera baseplate has also front and rear threads 1/4”-20 useful for other mounting applications.

An ultra lightweight MicroMega baseplate for 15mm rods is available with an innovative modular (joinable) 15mm rods system,

CNC machined from genuine titanium grade 5.
