SmallRig Full Camera Cage for Canon EOS R8

SmallRig Full Camera Cage for Canon EOS R8 (4212)

Overview

The camera cage R8 is built to safeguard your Canon EOS R8 while enabling versatile accessory mounting. It wraps the camera snugly, ensuring protection without interfering with camera controls or ports.

Design & Build

This cage uses a three-point anti‑twist system combining a bottom 1/4‑20 screw and two side lock adapters to firmly secure the camera. Rubber or silicone pads protect the camera’s finish and maintain stability. It offers extensive mounting options: 1/4‑20 threaded holes, 3/8‑16 threads, ARRI locating holes, a NATO rail, a cold shoe, a QD port, and strap slots—all distributed across the top and sides for optimal flexibility.

Arca‑Swiss Compatibility

On the base, it features an integrated Arca‑Swiss quick‑release plate. This allows seamless transitions between shooting setups—whether mounted on a tripod or DJI RS‑series gimbal—without additional adapters.

Lightweight Construction & Access

Constructed from aluminum, silicone, and steel, the cage adds just about 4.9 oz (140 g) to your rig, making it lightweight yet durable. It maintains full access to essential controls, including buttons, dials, the flip screen, ports, and the battery/card compartment.

Usability

After fitting your EOS R8 into the cage, you can effortlessly mount handles, monitors, microphones, lights, or shoulder straps via the multiple mounting points. Thanks to its thoughtful design, switching between tripod, handheld, or gimbal setups is fast and efficient.

Well‑designed, sturdy, and lightweight, this camera cage R8 enhances both protection and expandability for EOS R8 users. It’s perfect for photographers and videographers seeking a reliable, flexible rigging solution.
