SmallRig 5657 Cage Kit for Canon EOS C50 – Full-cover protection and versatile mounting for professional setups

The SmallRig 5657 Cage Kit improves handheld operation and expands mounting options for the Canon EOS C50. It combines a full-cover protective cage with a dedicated handheld kit, giving you stable handling and multiple attachment points for accessories. The kit supports quick transitions between handheld, tripod, and gimbal setups.

Enhanced handheld operation

The kit includes a wrist strap that improves stability and security during handheld shooting. As a result, you get firmer control over the camera when moving or working on location. Additionally, the built-in strap slots accept wrist or shoulder straps, so you can choose the carrying style that fits your workflow.

Comprehensive protection

The full-cover cage is custom-designed to shield the camera body from impacts. Therefore, you can shoot with less worry about bumps or knocks while you focus on creative tasks. The cage covers the camera body while leaving essential ports accessible for accessories and cables.

Versatile expansion and mounting options

The XLR handle extension rig and the cage provide a wide range of mounting points to integrate professional gear. You can attach side handles, magic arms, monitors, top handles, microphones, lights, and more thanks to these options:

• Multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes and locating holes for side handles and magic arms
• 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes for monitor mounts or top handles
• Cold shoe mounts for microphones or lights (microphone compatibility includes DJI MIC 2)
• Bottom QD socket that supports QD shoulder straps
• Built-in strap slots for wrist straps or shoulder straps

Furthermore, the dedicated HDMI cable clamp securely holds cable connections in place. This prevents accidental dislodging and helps maintain uninterrupted data transmission during shoots.

Arca-Swiss quick release and gimbal compatibility

The base features a built-in Arca-Swiss quick release plate. You can mount the camera directly on Arca-type tripods. In addition, the plate allows direct mounting on a range of DJI gimbals for rapid setup transitions. Supported DJI gimbals listed include:
