SmallRig 5608 Black Mamba Cage Kit for Canon EOS R5 Mark II – Enhanced Handheld Stability and Accessory Expansion

This kit improves handheld shooting stability, portability, and accessory mounting for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II. It combines a tailored camera cage, a reliable HDMI & USB-C cable clamp, and an ergonomic HawkLock top handle in the Black Mamba (BumbleBee Edition) style. The components work together to support low-angle shooting and flexible rig configurations.

Comfortable top handle for handheld and low-angle shooting

The included HawkLock top handle features an anti-slip and anti-freeze design with silicone padding. As a result, you get a more comfortable grip for carrying the camera and for steady low-angle shots. The handle attaches to the cage and aims to improve stability during handheld operation.

Wide accessory compatibility and mounting options

The cage provides numerous expansion interfaces so you can attach essential filmmaking accessories. These interfaces accommodate monitors, microphones, tripods, follow focuses, additional handles, and other tools used in video production.

• 1/4"-20 threaded holes
• 1/4"-20 locating holes
• 3/8"-16 threaded holes
• Cold shoe mounts
• Arca-Swiss quick release plate
• ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes

Secure camera mounting and fast transitions

The cage secures the camera at the bottom with a single 1/4"-20 screw and uses dual-side locating blocks to increase lateral stability. Additionally, the built-in Arca-Swiss quick release plate allows you to mount the camera quickly on Arca-type tripods. It also supports fast transitions between handheld, stabilizer, and tripod setups.

Specifically, the Arca-Swiss plate is compatible with DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, and RS 4 Pro stabilizers, allowing you to move the camera between these stabilizers and other Arca-style mounts without changing plates.

Cable clamp for reliable signal transmission

The HDMI & USB-C cable clamp secures cables using a single thumbscrew. This clamp helps prevent accidental disconnection and aims to maintain stable signal transmission during shoots.
