SmallRig 5656 Cage for Canon EOS C50

SmallRig 5656 Cage for Canon EOS C50 – Full-cover protection with modular expansion

The SmallRig 5656 Cage gives your Canon EOS C50 comprehensive protection while adding multiple mounting and configuration options. It is a full-cover, custom-designed cage that shields the camera body from impacts, letting you work with fewer worries and focus on the shoot.

Full-cover protection and modular design

The cage wraps the camera body to protect it from bumps and impacts. Its modular design lets you detach the NATO rail when needed. By removing the NATO rail, you can use Canon’s original XLR top handle for an alternate setup, offering flexible configurations across different shooting scenarios.

Secure cable management

A dedicated HDMI cable clamp locks the HDMI connection in place. This clamp prevents accidental dislodging and helps ensure uninterrupted data transmission during recording or monitoring.

Versatile accessory mounting

The 5656 Cage provides a wide range of mounting points so you can build the rig you need:

• Multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes and locating holes for attaching accessories such as SmallRig side handles or magic arms.
• 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes for mounting monitor mounts or top handles.
• Integrated cold shoe mounts for microphones (compatible with DJI MIC 2) or lights.
• Bottom QD socket that supports QD shoulder straps for hands-free carry options.
• Built-in strap slots to accommodate wrist straps or shoulder straps.

With these mounting options, a single camera can quickly accept multiple accessories for customizable professional setups.
