Review on SmallRig M50/M50 II/M5 Cage (Upgraded): Aluminum Alloy Video Film Movie Making Rig with Integrated Grip and NATO Rail for Canon EOS M50/M50 II/M5 2168C by Matt Simpsons

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Warning: M50 camera SWINGS in this cage

MANUFACTURER NOTE: They should offer an OTHER M50 CAGE that fits this camera from below. Or offer a free customization kit, e.g. B. A foam pad that M50 owners can permanently attach to the bottom of the cage, a hard foam pad that will last a long time, and an adhesive that holds the pad to the cage. UPDATED REVIEW: As others here have complained this cage fits the M5 well but is NOT ideal for the M50. The M50 constantly wobbles and wobbles in this cage. About 20 times I had to remove the camera/cage from the tripod and tighten the screw on the bottom of the cage. ----- Original Review ----- Sooo glad I pulled the trigger to get this SmallRig cage! In addition to the cage, I also bought 2 SmallRig cold shoe mounts and various brackets from Revain. This cage saved me during our video shoot the other day, I was able to improvise and mount 2 items on the cage including a fold down bracket that holds an iPow iPad holder for our teleprompter system. (which we didn't plan to do) This camera cage is sooo flexible! Recommend this product and also buy various add-ons

Pros
  • Stable construction
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
