Solid design, this cage is great for filmmakers who need a sturdy unibody design for add-ons. The wooden handle is a great addition. The only con is I wish it were a bit lighter.

Love this cage. SmallRig does not disappoint. Fits my Lumix G95 perfectly and adds the mounting points I need

If you do a lot of handheld videos this is a must for smoother shots.

It's not exaggeration that this fits the Sigma FP *exactly* - and if you have the large viewfinder attached in back, there is no areas of conflict between the two. I feel better about having a substantial grip on this tiny camera, and the frame gives me the feeling of having bumpers protecting it.

I added the small rig cage to my order because I knew it would definitely be easier to mount it on my Ronin S. The only issue is the power on/off is kinda covered, but I am very happy with my choice! My camera now has a small exoskeleton for extra protection. I can mount whatever I need to it. I don’t see a reason to ever have to take it off. Definitely a must have for the black magic.

It's an absolute beast of a camera HOWEVER, you would be advised to get accessories for it, especially a battery alternative. I've had lots of fun using this so far.

Fits like a glove; it is and feels of high quality; it does not add too much more weight to the camera.

Great quality product! It feels really solid on the camera and I love the magnetic tool for tightening the baseplate screw. It still has easy access to the battery and sd card slot and it really enhances the use of the camera for filmmaking.

Overall this cage is excellent and I would highly recommend it. The only gripe I've discovered thus far is that it is impossible to extract the SD card from the camera body when it is in the cage (with fingers alone). Considering that it is so easy to connect the camera to the computer via USB, I'm not terribly upset about this minor inconvenience. Build quality is excellent and it looks and feels great when the camera is installed.

I would have given it 5 stars if only they had made the right side of the handle with the same design to mount the Smallrig wooden handle on both sides. I don't see any point of not doing it, since the space is there. People who are doing follow focus with the left hand would have handled the right hand side with the wooden grip.

Amazing machined precision! So many holes for so many rig set ups. 10 for 10 would buy again if I got another cam

Very great added protection and solid design for modular pieces that I’ll add later.

I purchased this but had to return it due to the cage covering the remote port. If you're using your 6D Mark II strictly for video and photos, this will work extremely well as the cage is comfortable to leave on at all times while shooting both... You'll even forget it's even there when shooting stills. However in my workflow, I use the remote port for time-lapse and stop-motion and I can't use this cage with those rigs. It was a big disappointment since this is the only cage for the 6D Mark II that I've found. Hopefully Smallrig will fix this oversight or at least release a half cage or L Bracket to accommodate rigs that use the remote port.

Super solid build. Lightweight. A perfect first accessory for the BMPCC4K giving so much flexibility to build it out. Smallrig is a great option, especially for the price.

The biggest issue with this cage is that it does not accommodate the timecode cable. Besides that big oversite in design the cage does the basics of protecting the camera a bit and providing the ability to attach creation accessories to the camera. Decent value.

Works exactly like what I expected, and I look forward to continue to rig this camera out using other SmallRig products.

Love the handle in my x-t2, very solid built and locks on tight. Could smack someone and all would be in place

SmallRig Cage 2049 is designed specifically for Panasonic Lumix GH5/GH5S.
The GH5 cage benefits your Panasonic GH5 camera in video production by strengthening protection and stability and providing more mounting options. The cage fits the camera perfectly, and it does not block any access to the SD card slot, battery compartment, and all camera controls. It is equipped with an array of 1/4" threaded holes on the top for Top Handle 1984/1638.
The integrated cold shoe on the top could attach microphone or accessories with cold shoe adapter. It features NATO rails on both sides for NATO handles to extend more mounting possibilities. Cold Shoe 1241 could be mounted on the cage via 1/4" and M2.5 threaded holes for microphone, LED lights and so on. NATO rails on the sides of cage could attach NATO Clamp to Arri Rosette 2046 and then Wooden Handgrip 1941 for quick release. HDMI Lock 1822 could be mounted on the side via 1/4" threaded hole for the protection of HDMI cable.
At the bottom are an abundance of 1/4" and 3/8" threaded holes for Manfrotto and Vinten QR plates or Quick Release Baseplate Kit 2035. Lens Adapter Support 2016 could be mounted at the bottom of cage to support Metabones lens adapter. Additionally, on the right side of cage is an eyelet for wrist strap for your convenience. The cage is good for thermal dissipation of camera and prevents it from twisting. Apart from that, it could attach Panasonic Lumix GH5 DMW-XLR1 Helmet Kit 2017 on the top for handheld shooting and protection of XLR.
