Smallrig 6652 Black Mamba Cage kit for Canon EOS R6 Mark II

The SmallRig Black Mamba Cage Kit for Canon EOS R6 Mark II provides a lightweight handheld rigging solution for photographers, videographers, and content creators working with expanded camera setups. The kit includes a formfitting cage, an ergonomic top handle, and an HDMI/USB-C cable clamp, giving users added protection, improved handling, and multiple accessory-mounting options for handheld, tripod, and gimbal-based production.

This combination supports handheld shooting, low-angle camera moves, and accessory integration without requiring separate mounting components for basic rig expansion. The cage kit is constructed from aluminum alloy and weighs only 309 grams, helping keep the camera setup manageable for travel, event coverage, run-and-gun shooting, and extended handheld sessions. Its low-profile design adds mounting flexibility while maintaining portability for hybrid photo and video workflows.

Secure Camera Mounting

The cage attaches to the Canon EOS R6 Mark II using a bottom 1/4"-20 screw and dual side locating blocks to help prevent twisting during operation. This secure fit is useful when working with mounted monitors, microphones, handles, or follow-focus systems, where stability is important for consistent handling.

Built-In QR Interface

An integrated Arca-type compatible base allows the cage to mount directly onto Arca-type tripod heads and compatible DJI gimbals, including the RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, and RS 4 Pro. This supports fast transitions between handheld shooting, stabilized gimbal work, and tripod-based setups without removing the cage.

Ergonomic Top Handle

The included top handle provides a secure grip for low-angle shooting, carrying the camera between setups, and stabilizing handheld footage. Its silicone-lined grip helps improve comfort and control, including in cold shooting environments.

Accessory Expansion

Multiple mounting points are built into the cage, including 1/4"-20 threaded holes, 1/4"-20 locating holes, 3/8"-16 threaded holes, ARRI 3/8"-16 locating holes, a cold shoe mount, QD socket, and strap slots. These options support common production accessories such as external monitors, microphones, compact lights, side handles, follow-focus systems, tripod plates, and camera straps.

Cable Protection

The included HDMI/USB-C cable clamp attaches with a thumbscrew for quick installation and helps secure connected cables during recording, monitoring, or data-transfer workflows. By reducing strain on the camera ports, the clamp helps maintain stable connections during handheld or mobile production.

Compatibility

The cage is compatible with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Canon EOS R6 Mark III, but the included cable clamp is only compatible with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. For Canon EOS R6 Mark III users who require a cable clamp, the SmallRig Cage Kit 5960 is recommended. The kit is not compatible with the original quick release plate for the DJI RS 4 Mini. Side locating blocks should be removed from both sides of the cage before mounting the camera.
