Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Black Mamba Full Camera Cage is designed for videographers and content creators using the Canon EOS R5 C, R5, or R6 who require a secure, protective rig with extensive accessory mounting options. Its primary benefit is providing a stable, form-fitting structure that retains full access to all camera controls and grips, though users should note that the cage adds a slight amount of bulk to the camera's original dimensions.

FAQs

Can I use this cage with the Canon EOS R5 C?

Yes, this cage is specifically designed to be compatible with the Canon EOS R5 C, as well as the R5 and R6.

Does the cage block the battery door?

No, the cage is designed to maintain access to all essential camera ports, the battery door, and memory card slots.

Is this cage compatible with my existing tripod?

If your tripod head uses an Arca-Swiss style quick-release clamp, it will be compatible. Otherwise, you can mount a standard tripod plate to the 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 threaded holes on the bottom.

Does it come with a shoulder strap?

The cage includes dedicated strap holes that allow you to attach most standard wrist or shoulder straps, though the strap itself is sold separately.

How do I store the included screwdriver?

The screwdriver is built directly into the bottom of the cage, usually held in place magnetically or via a dedicated slot for easy access.

Troubleshooting

Camera shifts or twists within the cage

Ensure the 1/4-20 screw at the bottom is fully tightened using the built-in tool and check that the locating pins are properly seated in the camera holes.

Accessory doesn't fit in the cold shoe

Verify that no other mounting hardware is obstructing the cold shoe and that the accessory is compatible with a standard cold shoe mount.
