SmallRig 2983 Overview

The lightweight Camera Cage from SmallRig provides accessory mounting and protection for your Panasonic S5 or S5D camera. The camera mounts onto this formfitting aluminum cage with an integrated 1/4"-20 screw, and it incorporates an anti-twist design with an M2.5 side screw, as well as padding on the base to protect the camera from scratching.

In addition to one integrated shoe mount and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 accessory threads, the cage features ARRI-style accessory threads to prevent accessories from twisting when mounted on the cage. The cage also features a NATO rail on the side, an integrated strap slot for an optional carry strap, and mounting threads on the front for a separately available lens adapter. An Allen wrench stores on the bottom via a magnet for tightening the camera screw.

Asked by: Greg
No, the SmallRig Camera Cage for Panasonic S5 is too small to fit the Panasonic Lumix S5 II Mirrorless Camera or the Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX Mirrorless Camera inside it?

Is the optional HDMI and or USB C clamp available for this item?
Asked by: Joshua
There would be at least a partial protection for the USB-C port using this clamp. There is still room to put a USB cable below the HDMI cable when using this clamp. The only question is whether or not this clamp would close down tightly on the USB cable in a way that would completely protect it from breaking.
