SmallRig 5810 Cage for Canon EOS C80 – Modular cage with multiple mounting interfaces and NATO rail

SmallRig 5810 Cage for Canon EOS C80 is the perfect solution for filmmakers looking for a flexible and modular mounting solution. This cage is designed to give users the ability to easily customize their equipment for different shooting environments and styles. By combining a top plate, dual side plates, a base plate, and a bottom mounting plate, the cage offers a variety of mounting options that make it easy to switch between tripod, gimbal, and shoulder setups.

Main features and mounting interfaces

The cage is built with a modular design that includes multiple mounting points, making it extremely flexible. You can easily place accessories where you need them and make quick configuration changes on the spot, saving time and increasing efficiency during shoots.

• 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes: Versatile mounts for a range of accessories.
• 1/4"-20 locating holes: For precise mounting.

Modular base plate: two configurations for different rigs

The base plate is designed to adapt to the shooting mode you need. By attaching the bottom mounting plate, you increase the distance between the threaded holes. This makes the cage compatible with various tripods, including ARRI BP8 bridge plates and LWS base plates with dual rod clamps, making it ideal for stable operation whether you are using tripod or shoulder mounting.

Alternatively, you can remove the bottom mounting plate and attach the cage directly to supported gimbals. This provides a smooth mounting solution for DJI RS 2, RS 3 Pro, and RS 4 Pro gimbals, allowing you to shoot with stabilized handheld movement.

Ergonomics and accessory integration

The right side plate enhances grip and makes it easy to attach various accessories. You can quickly and easily mount tripods, mini L-shaped mounting plates, and other support equipment directly onto the side plate, providing additional functionality.

The NATO rail is modular and can be mounted on the top or sides of the cage, allowing you to switch between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations. Additionally, it enables quick handle swaps, enhancing user-friendliness.
