For immediate release
Accsoon is thrilled to introduce the Accsoon iPad PowerCage Mini, a much-requested accessory that transforms the iPad mini 6 into a monitor that looks and feels right at home on any professional production.
The iPad mini 6 features an incredibly accurate 8.3” Retina screen, 2266x1488 resolution and wide P3 color gamut. At 326 pixels per inch it has crisper and clearer images than most dedicated professional monitors. Once equipped with the dedicated Accsoon iPad PowerCage Mini, an iPad mini 6 becomes a serious production tool with multiple uses.
When an Accsoon SeeMo HDMI or SeeMo Pro SDI is mounted to the back the setup becomes a lightweight on-camera monitor or confidence monitor. Alternatively, combine it with Accsoon’s CineView line of wireless transmitters and it’s the perfect lightweight handheld Director’s monitor.

The Accsoon iPad PowerCage mini is made of aviation-grade aluminum and adds superior protection to your valuable iPad mini 6. It has multiple cold shoe and 1/4 20 anti-rotation attachment points on the sides of the cage for a solid connection to stands, and for accessories to be securely mounted. A custom TPU Gel case insert is included, providing an additional layer of soft cushioning around your iPad mini 6 in the event of a knock. There are also lugs to allow a neckstrap to be attached for director’s monitor use.

Weighing in at just 293 grams for the iPad mini 6 and 162 grams for the Accsoon iPad PowerCage Mini, this powerful combination is lighter than many 7-inch monitors, while offering a considerably larger screen. This is especially noticeable when mounted on top of smaller cameras used handheld, or when used as a director’s monitor. The iPad mini 6 weight makes it much easier to keep a camera rig balanced, or use handheld for extended periods. It can even be used for vertical shooting setups, where a lightweight monitor is incredibly useful.

Sunhood included
A dedicated folding sunhood is included with the cage. This lightweight and sturdy accessory effectively blocks out stray light, improving visibility in various shooting conditions.. A clever tab design allows it to be quickly folded and unfolded. The sunhood can also be stowed easily with the PowerCage.

Power available to last all-day
One of the standout features of the Accsoon iPad PowerCage Mini is its ability to power the iPad mini 6. With the included ACC04 battery adapter plate, the PowerCage ensures that your iPad mini 6 stays powered throughout even the longest shoot days. By utilizing the USB-C PD provided by the ACC04 and NP-F type batteries, not only is the iPad mini 6 powered, but other attached accessories can also be charged using the USB outputs of the ACC04. This can even include charging your camera with the appropriate adapter.

Another great benefit of the ACC04 is that it can also be used separately to charge your NP-F type batteries. Simply connect a USB-C PD charger, like the one used for the iPad mini 6, to the ACC04's USB-C input and it will charge your battery and show its charging status.

The perfect Mojo setup
The Accsoon iPad PowerCage Mini opens up a world of possibilities for content creators and mobile journalists, commonly known as Mojos. When using the iPad mini 6 as a camera for news gathering and filming stories, the Powercage can be used to attach accessories like lights, small tripods, wireless and shotgun microphones, and other accessories. The ACC04 provides a useful way to power many of these accessories from one single easy-to-charge and easy-to-change battery.
