SmallRig 2982B Overview

The lightweight aluminum Camera Cage from SmallRig provides accessory mounting and protection for your Canon EOS R5 C, R5, or R6 camera. This formfitting cage maintains access to the camera's controls, battery, and SD card slot, and it features a variety of mounting options.

The camera mounts onto the cage using a single 1/4"-20 screw, and there are anti-twist pins and a pad on the base to prevent the camera from twisting or scratching. In addition to multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 accessory threads, the cage features several ARRI-style locating holes to prevent accessories from twisting when mounted on the cage.

One side features an integrated NATO rail, and there is a shoe mount on top. Integrated strap slots allow you to add a separately available neck or wrist strap. A screwdriver for securing the camera screw is stored on the bottom of the cage.

Does Not Mount On Gimbal Without Extra Hardware

Does Not Mount To My Tripod Head Or Seamless Mount To Any Gimbal. I Have To Use Additional Hardware Which Usually Slips Off

Absolutely Perfect cage...

Worth every penny... fits perfectly, tons of expansion options. The ONLY reason I didn't give it five stars is the overly-aggressive red SmallRig logo at the top of the camera. Not sure why, but it really bothers me in terms of the overall aesthetic... and clients (who don't know anything about gear) have already asked what kind of camera a small rig is.

Will this cage accommodate the battery grip, BG-R10? It certainly doesn’t appear to fit the R5 w/ the battery grip attached. Is there a cage that will make use of the battery grip? Thanks for any help you might provide!
