SmallRig Cage for Canon EOS R8 4212

This cage is very well-made and is super sturdy. You can tell that small rig put a lot of thought into this design. It attaches in three spots on the camera to ensure that the cage does not wiggle around. It has lots of places on it where you can mount additional accessories. My favorite thing about this is that on the bottom there is a little multi tool that you slide in and it secured with strong magnets. This multitool helps you attach the cage to the camera. This is a very cool addition because usually when you get stuff like this, you always lose the multi tool and then have to buy another one. It fits perfect, and it doesn’t wiggle at all. Overall this is definitely a five stare product.

I have a SmallRig GH5S cage that's great, so I bought this expecting to be just as satisfied. Unfortunately, this cage makes accessing both the battery/memory card and power switch much more difficult than it should be. It's solid otherwise though.

You have to screw in both sides of the cage with the supplied wrench and it will fit in the strap loop of the bony itself, making the cage a much secure 3 point fix array, plenty of 1/4 holes for accesories and a cold shoe, you cant ask for any better cage

Like other reviews, difficult to access power switch and battery.SmallRig should keep the design as R5 & 6.

Build Quality and Design: The SmallRig Cage for Canon R8 is a nice piece of gear. It is made of aluminum alloy, which provides excellent protection for my camera but also feels sturdy and durable in hand. The cage fits the Canon EOS R8 like a glove, leaving no room for any unwanted movements or vibrations, and looked good once installed. Smallrigs cage design incorporates an array of cutouts that maintain full access to all the camera's essential ports, slots, and controls. The cage is equipped with multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes on all sides, providing an extensive array of mounting options for accessories such as monitors, external microphones, lights, and a top handle. I often find myself in rugged environments. This SmallRig Cage will provide a reliable shield for my Canon EOS R8, shielding it from accidental bumps and drops while I am out and about. I like the new addition of the magnetically attached Allen wrench and straight screwdriver on the bottom of the cage.
