Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the cage, align the camera with the cage base and secure it using the provided dual 1/4-20 screws. Ensure the internal silicone pads are flush against the camera body to prevent movement. Once the camera is secured, attach the HDMI and USB-C cable clamp to the side of the cage if you plan to use external monitors or recording devices.
Compatibility is specific to the Canon EOS R50 V. The base is compatible with standard Arca-Swiss tripod heads and DJI RS series gimbals. For maintenance, clean the silicone pads periodically with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or debris. Check the mounting screws after heavy use to ensure they remain tight and secure.
