Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Cage 5623 is an essential protective and expansion tool for videographers and photographers using the Canon EOS R5 Mark II with the BG-R20 battery grip. It provides a highly stable, twist-free foundation for professional camera rigs while offering extensive mounting points for essential accessories like external monitors, microphones, and gimbals. While the cage offers superior protection and utility, users should be aware that adding a full cage increases the overall weight and dimensions of the camera setup, which may require adjustments to gimbal balance and carry bag configurations.

FAQs

Can I access the battery compartment without removing the cage?

Yes, the cage is specifically designed to leave the battery compartment and SD card slots completely unobstructed.

Is this cage compatible with the Canon EOS R5 Mark II without the battery grip?

No, this cage is custom-molded specifically for the R5 Mark II with the BG-R20 battery grip attached.

Does it work with DJI RS 4 Pro?

Yes, the built-in Arca-Swiss quick-release plate is compatible with the DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, and RS 4 Pro.

Where do I store the wrench when not in use?

The cage features a built-in magnetic slot on the bottom of the base plate designed to hold the included double-head wrench securely.

Can I mount a follow focus system to this cage?

Yes, the front 1/4"-20 locating hole supports a single 15mm rod clamp for attaching follow focus motors.

Troubleshooting

The camera feels loose or rotates slightly within the cage.

Ensure all three attachment points (bottom 1/4"-20 screw and two side M3 screws) are fully tightened using the provided wrench.

The cage interferes with the gimbal balance.

Re-balance the gimbal setup following the standard balancing procedure, as the added weight of the cage may shift the center of gravity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first align the camera body into the cage until it sits flush against the bottom and side frames. Insert the bottom 1/4"-20 screw first to center the camera, then secure the two side M3 screws to finalize the lock. The cage includes a built-in double-head wrench on the bottom, which is magnetic to prevent loss.

For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Periodically check that the M3 screws remain tight, especially after heavy use on a gimbal. The cage is specifically designed for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II with the BG-R20 grip attached; it is not compatible with the camera body alone.
