SmallRig GH5 GH5S Cage for Panasonic Lumix Camera and DMW-XLR1 (Upgraded Version)-CCP2646

As a result, the top plate could be raised using a tall rod as a support. Since I took the camera out of its cage quite frequently for still shots, this provided me with the opportunity to use a quick release plate. In any case, now I have a separate still camera, so the GH5 is confined to the cage forever. This tool is solid and well constructed, as well as surprisingly light in Also, I got the wood handle for one side and put my NATO plates on the top so that I could add and remove the top handle when taking low angle hand held pictures. My overall impression of SmallRig products is that they are excellent and reasonably.

This thing is sturdy enough to use with a Atomos Ninja flame (2 970 batteries attached), a field recorder, 2 USB battery banks, a mic on a magic arm, and a headphone hook I didn't even feel it flex. The mount points are plentiful and available in both 1/4 inch and 5/16 inch In the middle of 20 and 3/8 is Form fitting enough so that I can comfortably grasp the camera in the cage with my hands (I do have big hands). I would describe it as light enough not to be intrusive. My GH5 stays firmly in its cage, and I don't even bother to remove it. It's a product that's completely worth buying.

My partner and I have been using this product line for years. When we upgraded from our GH3 to GH5, the smallrig cage was the only choice.
With plenty of mounting points, we have attached handles, mics, lights, arms, There are no threading issues with the bolt holes, and the powder coating is quite sturdy and is not prone to scratching. There is a snug fit between the camera and the case, so it doesn't come out An excellent value for the money.

As far as fit was concerned, my main concern was. There is no room for error in this cage. As far as accessibility goes, all the buttons and ports are available, as well as all the buttons and ports. It is not snug against the body, but I would prefer that it not be tight, because that could cause wear and tear over time. Metabones is also supported with mounts, which is a huge perk! I like how there are mounting options on the side and top of the kit so there is a lot of flexibility with rigging. It has a cold shoe on the left side that can be used for a microphone or a The left side of this camera will be used for my wireless video signal, while I plan to install another cold shoe on the right side for a microphone. The cage is very well made in my opinion. As the right side of the grip has a partly distorted shape, there may be more fatigue on my right hand so I will add a NATO rail and Thanks for reading.

received this cage for my Panasonic GH5 and it fits perfectly. Turning on and off the camera is controlled by a switch tight to the cage. You have to reach into the cage to do this. With this cage, I can now attach my wireless mic, lights, and other accessories to my GH5.

For the money, this is a solid cage. There is only one thing I do not like about it, and that is difficulty in securing a tight connection at the bottom of the Every time I take a picture, the camera seems to play around a little.

As I tried to keep it in place, I put rubber material between the bottom screw and the camera body and placed some cardboard at the spot where the front of the camera body contacts the little no-slip ridge, but it will still move during a day of shooting. Occasionally, this cage needs to be adjusted four or five I find it very There is no way to tell if I just have a defective unit or if other people have experienced the same problem.
