Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Black Mamba Cage for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II is designed for professional videographers and photographers who require both robust protection and versatile accessory mounting options. Its primary benefit lies in its ergonomic 'Black Mamba' style that provides full access to all camera controls while offering a secure, multi-point locking system for stability; however, users should note that the added weight and size may make it less suitable for those prioritizing a strictly minimalist, lightweight camera setup.

FAQs

Can I access the battery door while the cage is on?

Yes, the cage is designed to allow full access to the battery door and memory card slots without requiring the cage to be removed.

Does this cage work with DJI RS gimbals?

Yes, the bottom of the cage features an Arca-Swiss standard quick release plate, which is compatible with most Arca-type tripod heads and DJI RS series gimbals.

Is the magnetic wrench secure?

The wrench is held in place by strong magnets and is designed to stay attached during normal use; however, it is recommended to stow it safely if you are traveling or doing very active movement.

Can I mount a microphone to this cage?

Yes, there is a built-in cold shoe mount on the top of the cage specifically for microphones, lights, or other cold-shoe compatible accessories.

What is the material of the cage?

The cage is constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy, providing a balance of lightweight handling and professional-grade durability.

Will this cage fit the original Canon EOS R5?

No, this cage is precision-engineered specifically for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II and may not fit the original R5 properly due to differences in chassis design.

Troubleshooting

Camera feels loose inside the cage

Check that both the side locating blocks are correctly positioned and that the bottom 1/4-20 mounting screw is fully tightened.

Wrench is missing from the bottom storage

Verify the magnetic attachment point on the baseplate; it is designed to hold the tool securely in place when not in use.

Cage interferes with a specific accessory

Ensure the accessory is using a 1/4-20 or ARRI-standard mount; if the accessory has its own bulky plate, you may need to use a riser or additional mounting adapter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade protection with anti-scratch silicone padding
  • Excellent accessibility to all camera buttons and ports
  • Seamless compatibility with DJI RS stabilizers via Arca baseplate
  • Includes a convenient, magnetically attached dual-head assembly wrench

Cons

  • Adds weight to the camera setup which may cause fatigue during long handheld shoots
  • Does not include an integrated HDMI cable clamp
  • Bulkier than standard thin-frame camera plates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, align the camera with the cage and ensure the side locating blocks are seated correctly against the camera body. Tighten the bottom 1/4-20 screw using the included magnetic dual-head wrench. Regularly inspect the 1/4-20 screw to ensure it remains tight after heavy use, especially if the camera is frequently mounted to gimbals. When cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the integrated silicone padding. The cage is specifically engineered for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II; using it with older R5 versions may result in improper button or port alignment.
