Q: 5. Apparently, buying this is the only way to get the super clamp. They're not selling the clamp on its own? Am I understanding this correctly? Seems like a bad choice since they tout how the clamp can be used with the spider crab arms.

A: Unfortunately we do not carry the grab clamp of the iFootage SA-32 Support Rod with Jaw Clamp for Spider Crab System as a stand alone item. iFootage currently does not sell this item as a stand alone.

Q: 6. Will this work with Smallrig half cage for the R5C and the Tascam XLR Canon Kit?

A: While the SmallRig Top Handle for Sony/Panasonic Cameras with Top Audio Adapter can be used with the SmallRig Black Mamba Half Cage and Cable Clamp for Canon EOS R5 C/R5/R6, the handle would likely not leave enough space for the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-C XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for Canon Cameras.

A: No.

Q: 10. Does this top handle have a hot shoe connector at it's base? If so, how does it work if the XLR1 adapter is connected to the camera's hot shoe?

A: Hello Jon, Thank you for your question! This top handle was designed so it can be attached at the top front of cages when audio units are also used. It leaves enough space to attach an audio unit on top of cages. This handle does not have a hotshoe connector. You can see an example of how it's used here: https://www.shapewlb.com/sony-a7s-ii-a7r-ii-a7-ii-top-handle. We hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products. The SHAPE team
