SmallRig 5658 Cage Kit for Canon EOS C50 Advanced Edition – Compact V-mount power and versatile mounting for handheld shooting

The SmallRig 5658 Cage Kit offers a compact power solution and extensive protection for the Canon EOS C50. It pairs a compact V-mount battery plate with a robust cage and multiple mounting options, making handheld shooting more reliable and adaptable for a range of production needs.

Key features and benefits

The kit provides a compact V-mount battery plate that allows quick attachment of V-mount batteries, delivering reliable extended power for uninterrupted shooting—ideal for demanding productions. In addition, the cage protects the camera body while enabling flexible expansion.

Moreover, the design supports handheld workflows by combining secure cable management, accessory mounting, and strap options to keep your setup efficient and stable during long takes.

Mounting points and expansion options

• The XLR handle extension rig includes multiple mounting points: 1/4"-20 threaded holes and locating holes for common accessory mounts.
• It also provides 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes for mounting monitor mounts, top handles, or other ARRI-compatible accessories.
• Integrated cold shoe mounts enable quick attachment of microphones or lights, and they explicitly support accessories such as the DJI MIC 2.
• Multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes and locating holes across the cage make it easy to add side handles, magic arms, or other support hardware.

Cable security and ergonomics

The kit includes a dedicated HDMI cable clamp that securely holds HDMI connections in place, preventing accidental dislodging and ensuring uninterrupted data transmission. As a result, you reduce the risk of dropped signals during critical shoots.

For handling, the cage features a bottom QD socket that supports QD shoulder straps, plus built-in strap slots that accommodate wrist straps or shoulder straps. These features improve comfort and security when working handheld.

Included accessories and on-set convenience
