Review on SEO-Optimized Camera Cage for Canon EOS R5 and R6 2982 by SmallRig by Randy Basque

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't affect mounting Canon Speedlite

Camera: Canon R5, RF 1.2 85mm lens, Speedlite SL580exii. Bought a tripod mount. The lens has no mount. A newly discovered cell interferes with the installation of the flash. The Speedlite is not communicating with the camera. The flash found climbed onto the cage and lifted the flash's contact plate in front. This caused the flashes to stick when locking, excessive pressure on the hot shoe, and damage to the flashes. This is a design flaw. All it takes is a few thousand more ground clearance. Apparently I missed the return deadline. In this post, I ask SmallRig to fix the problem and send me a replacement. This is a very high quality product. Fit and finish are excellent. I would recommend it 5 stars if it weren't for this design flaw.

Pros
  • Multiple Mounting Points: Built-in NATO rail on top, a cold shoe mount, and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes, this form-fitting aluminum frame has multiple ARRI mounts around a twist of the accessories when mounting them on the cage.
Cons
  • infuriates

Nice cage with attention to little details like the anti twist posts that other cages do not have.
