Tilta has a new cage and accessories available for the Canon R5C. What is also nice is that Tilta has come up with a clever powering solution for the R5C if you want to use a V-mount battery.
Tiltaing Smart V Mount Battery Baseplate (ARCA)
The Tiltaing Smart V Mount Battery Baseplate (ARCA) was designed specifically to be used with Tilta’s Canon R5C Camera Cage.
This Smart V-Mount Battery Baseplate connects to the camera cages via an ARCA connection.
This battery plate features (2) 14.8V P-Tap Ports, (1) 5V USB-C Port, and (1) 60W USB-C PD Port which allows the battery plate to adjust the voltage needed for the accessory it is connected to.
This allows you to power your camera or accessories as you don’t need to solely rely on regulated power cables to ensure your device is receiving the correct voltage.
The height of this battery baseplate can be adjusted to accommodate different sized V-Mount batteries and the 15mm LWS Standard spacing means the battery plate can be removed from the baseplate and mounted via rods if needed.
The included USB-C Cable Clamp Attachment allows you to secure the included USB-C Cable to the Battery Plate, creating a more secure connection and preventing accidental disconnection.
This baseplate is compatible with our Full Camera Cage for Canon R5C and any camera body or cage that can connect to the included ARCA Standard Quick Release Plate.
The Tiltaing Smart V Mount Battery Baseplate (ARCA) retails for $169 USD, but it is currently available to pre-order at a discounted early bird price of $152.10 USD and it is scheduled to start shipping on the 4th of July.
If you don’t like the idea of making your camera too high then you could use the Tiltaing Smart V Mount Battery Plate – Black instead.
Full Camera Cage for Canon R5C
The Full Camera Cage has been designed to offer protection for the Canon R5C while expanding mounting options if you need to attach various accessories.
The cage features an ARRI Rosette Connection, two cold shoe receivers, and NATO Rail connections on the top and left side of the cage.
These connections are good options for mounting any of Tilta’s optional Type IV/VI Side Handles or our Compact NATO Top Handle.
The cage also features multiple ¼”-20 mounting points with locating pins, several M3 threads, and integrated slots for a shoulder strap.
The optional Adjustable Top Handle can be attached to quickly switch between horizontal and vertical shooting configurations.
The cage connects to the camera body via a ¼”-20 screw and utilizes an additional point of contact via a locating pin in order to prevent the camera from moving within the cage.
The built-in silicone cushion helps hold the camera body in place while protecting it from any scratches that could be caused by the cage.
The base of the cage also provides a couple of mounting options for securing the system to different quick-release plates and it natively supports Tilta’s Power Supply Baseplate Type III and LWS Baseplate
The bottom plate allows you to easily access the battery compartment and also includes a slot for an included magnetic screwdriver.
The included Clamp Attachment connects to the side of the cage and allows you to secure the optional HDMI to Micro HDMI Adapter and an optional USB-C Cable. This accessory will help prevent these cables from coming loose when shooting and will provide additional protection for the ports on your camera body. This can be specifically helpful when using an external recorder as a loose cable could very possibly ruin a take if accidentally disconnected.
The included Lens Mount Support Bracket attaches to the front of the cage via M3 screws and provides additional support for an RF to EF Lens Mount Adapter. This provides an additional point of contact between your cage and lens adapter which helps create a more secure connection and limits any shifts in the image that could be caused by follow focus systems.
The Tilta Full camera Cage for the Canon R5C weighs in at just 182.5g.
It retails for $99 USD, but it is currently available to pre-order at a discounted early bird price of $89.10 USD and it is scheduled to start shipping on the 4th of July.
