Canon R5/R5C/R6 Cinerig Base

Dream Rig for Canon R5C Owners

Combined with the Tilta R5C cage this is my favorite rig (out of three I shoot with) for Canon R5C owners. I use the Canon CA-XLR2-c adapter to power the -48volts for a Sennheiser MKH 416 microphone and the Rigid Pro lets me use the hot flash electrical sound connectors to record direct on 8K60 video. I also use a Sennheiser EW-DP wireless receiver mounted on the Tascam adapter to pick up sound from a Sennheiser EW-DP receiver which is recording from a Sennheiser EW-SKP XLR plug-in. I mount the cage on a Sachtler arkiv8t fluid head using a Sachtler 0364 plate. I love the single control power switch for the DP battery connection panel. My only suggestion would be to add a couple USB C 12 v connections to the panel. I use the R5C screen to focus with and I use a Hoya variable ND filter with a Canon RF 24-105mm L f4 lens. Sometimes I use a Canon EF lens adapter with the built-in VND filter to shoot with the Canon EF 16-35 f2.8 zoom.

VERY high quality! Adds great balance and utility

I was really impressed by the quality of the build. Once I bolted in the Tilta caged R5C, the whole rig now has wonderful balance that makes shooting better. It does add some weight obvioulsy but that is a good thing - allowing more smoothness to handheld work.

Great Product

There is only one problem with the Rigid Pro. I now have to figure out what I am going to do with all my redundant cheese plates and various other camera rig components. What really pleased me was it worked straight out of the box and everything was as described. Good work gang and I was so happy to be able to support an Ausie made product.
