FAQs
Is the SmallRig Cage Kit compatible with Canon accessories?
Yes, the cage is designed to support Canon’s OEM accessories, including the original handle, microphone mounts, focal plane indicators, and the OC-E4A off-camera shoe cord. The integrated NATO rail is contoured for seamless connection with the original handle.
Can I mount the cage directly to a gimbal?
Yes. By removing the mounting plate, the baseplate can be mounted directly to DJI RS 2, RS 3 Pro, and RS 4 Pro gimbals. When the plate is attached, it can be used with tripods and baseplates like the ARRI BP8 or SmallRig 3357.
How does the lens adapter support help during shooting?
The lens adapter support reduces pressure on the camera mount, particularly when using heavier lens adapters. It is height-adjustable by up to 19mm (0.7in) to suit various adapter types, such as PL-RF, which helps prevent potential strain or misalignment.
Is the top handle comfortable for long shoots?
The included top handle features a built-in NATO clamp for quick attachment and removal. It has a silicone grip that adds comfort and reduces slippage during handheld shooting, making it suitable for extended use in dynamic filming environments.
