SmallRig 4023 Overview
Expand the capabilities of your Panasonic Lumix G9 II, S5 II, or S5 IIX mirrorless camera with the Black Mamba Series Camera Cage from SmallRig. Designed to securely mount onto the camera body, it provides a protective structure to attach all kinds of accessories via its 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, NATO rail, and shoe mount. Its three-point locking design prevents the camera from moving or twisting inside the cage. The cage can be used with the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 microphone adapter, and it is compatible with the optional SmallRig Top Lift Handle.
 
On-the-fly swaps from a tripod to a motorized gimbal or shoulder rig happen via the integrated Arca-type quick release plate, and you can also utilize the QD socket as well as 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads on the bottom. The lightweight and durable aluminum cage is designed with ergonomics in mind, enabling shoots that last all day.
 
Expandability
The Lumix G9 II, S5 II, and S5 IIX reach their full potential when combined with an array of monitors, larger batteries, lens hoods, etc. This cage enables you to attach pounds and pounds of optional gear, far more than you would otherwise be able to use with your camera (available separately). These attach via the 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threading, the NATO rail, and the shoe mount.
 
The cage can also be used with the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 microphone adapter, and if a top handle is required, the SmallRig Top Lift Handle 3082 is compatible.
 
Secure Connections
The Arca-type quick release plate holds your rig firmly in place when you need it but doesn't cause a delay when you need to swap camera supports. A three-point anti-twist locking method, including a built-in magnetic camera key, keeps your lens pointed straight downrange.
 
Unobtrusive Design
The skeletal Black Mamba is engineered to enable full access to the G9 II, S5 II, and S5 IIX controls for maximum productivity.
