Falcam cage adds AirTag tracking and Arca support to Hasselblad X2D

Falcam introduced a $349 cage for the Hasselblad X2D and X2D II that does more than add rigging points: it hides an AirTag compartment inside a form-fitted frame. Built from 6061 aluminum alloy with hard anodizing, the cage is pitched as a premium layer of protection for medium-format bodies that already sit deep in the wallet.

B&H Photo lists the accessory as a Native Guardian cage that keeps the buttons, ports and battery accessible while adding an integrated Arca-type quick release plate, five 0.5-inch strap lugs and a slide-open cover plate for shutter cable and card access. The design also includes screen guard rails, a lay-flat base and a Y-type security screw that can be removed only with an exclusive tool, a set of details aimed at photographers who want to move quickly between handheld work, tripod setups and accessory-heavy rigs without stripping the body down each time.

The selling point goes beyond convenience. B&H says the protective oxide layer is three times thicker than what is found on standard camera cages, which puts the frame squarely in the premium-accessory lane rather than the generic metal-bracket category. That matters more on Hasselblad’s X2D line, especially the X2D II 100C, which Hasselblad launched in 2025 as its first 100-megapixel medium format camera with true end-to-end HDR. Hasselblad also equipped it with AF-C continuous autofocus, 425 PDAF zones, LiDAR-assisted focusing and a 3.6-inch OLED touchscreen with up to 1,400-nit peak brightness. In the U.S. store, the body lists for $7,799, making a $349 cage a relatively small add-on in the context of a very expensive kit.

The hidden AirTag slot is the detail most likely to move the conversation. Apple says AirTag works through the Find My network, includes a built-in speaker and supports Precision Finding on compatible iPhones. Find Nearby works on iPhone 15 and later, and Apple notes that environmental factors can affect performance, which keeps the feature in its proper lane: recovery aid, not a theft-proof guarantee.

For Hasselblad shooters who travel, work on location or build modular rigs around a medium-format body, Falcam’s cage lands as a protection-and-utility piece with a sharper point of view than most. It tries to solve the two fears that come with an expensive camera in motion, the dent you can see and the disappearance you cannot, without forcing the X2D to lose its clean silhouette in the process.
