This new cage improves handling while providing robust protection and flexible configuration options for content creators.
The centerpiece of the kit is a dedicated full camera cage, tailored for the EOS R50 V. It delivers rugged protection without obstructing access to critical camera controls and ports.

Other mounting options built into the cage include:
-
Multiple 1/4"-20 and ARRI locating holes
-
A 1/4"-20 locating hole
-
Quick Detach (QD) socket

Arca-Swiss base
The kit is available in Silver or Black and ships with an Allen wrench and 1/4"-20 mounting screw. Priced at $59.99, the cage is now available through the SmallRig website and B&H Photo.
