Provide accessory mounting and protection for your Canon EOS R5 C, R5, or R6 camera with the lightweight aluminum "Black Mamba" Camera Cage Kit from SmallRig. The kit includes a camera cage, a top handle, and an HDMI/USB cable clamp. The formfitting cage features a sleek, rough-black finish with carbon fiber-style details, it maintains access to the camera's controls, battery, and SD card slot, and features a variety of mounting options.

The camera mounts onto the cage using a single 1/4"-20 screw, and there are anti-twist pins and rubber padding on the base to prevent the camera from twisting or scratching. In addition to multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 accessory threads, the cage features ARRI-style locating holes to prevent accessories from twisting when mounted on the cage. The top handle mounts onto the ARRI-style anti-twist mount on top and provides additional 1/4"-20 threads and a shoe mount. The HDMI/USB cable clamp mounts onto the side of the cage with the included M3 screws to ensure the cables don't pull.

The cage also features an integrated Arca-type mount on the base, so you can mount it onto standard Arca-type heads and bases. There is a shoe mount on top, and integrated strap slots allow you to add a separately available neck or wrist strap. A screwdriver for securing the camera screw is stored on the bottom of the cage.
