These batteries also have a USB-A port and D-tap, which come in handy for powering other accessories. I have tested the ones from FXLION, ZGCine, and Wimaxit, and they all work well. The SmallRig cage does not, so I added a low-profile Nato rail to it to make it work.Īs for batteries, I use mini V-mount batteries that have USB-C PD delivery. ![]() The Tilta cage also has a Nato rail built-in on the left-hand side. This is attached to a Nato clamp from Niceyrig. There are different battery solutions and several mounting options on the market, some more compact than others.Īs I’m using a cage, and I want to use the camera’s viewfinder, especially when shooting outdoors, I opted for a simple mini plate for a V-mount battery that has a quick-release plate that is made by SmallRig. Also, in the case of the R5C, you need USB-C power in order to run Auto Focus in 8K mode. This is why I prefer this method to the dummy battery one, as that solution does not offer redundancy. The USB-C power delivery method is safer, as even if the cable gets disconnected or the battery dies, your recording will not be affected. The R5 allows you to hot-swap the external battery, but not the LP-E6 in the camera. This means you can keep rolling indefinitely. On the R5C, you can hot-swap both the external battery and the internal battery while recording. Battery Solutionīoth the R5 and R5C can be powered by PD delivery using the USB-C port. So what have I done to my cameras? Well, let’s find out. I’m using the Tilta cage on the R5C and a Small Rig Black Mamba cage on the R5. With past cameras I used, like the EOS 5D Mark IV and the EOS R, I used to remove the cages when shooting stills, but with the new cages for the R5 series, I find them ergonomic enough to keep them on all the time and the flash and remotes can be used without problem. I am a solo shooter doing both stills and video, not at the same time, but sometimes on the same day.Īs I’m based in Tokyo, most of the time I ride the subway to get to my destination, so I need a system that stays compact and uses the same lenses, batteries, and accessories. So, as always, I try to find ways to make the cameras work better for my needs. I have been shooting with 2 Canon R5s since their release and recently I swapped one of them for the R5C. Well, it’s been a while and I swapped over to the RF system when the EOS R came out. Long ago I wrote an article about how I modified my Canon C100. Although this article focuses on the Canon R5 and R5C, most of the mods apply to almost every other brand and camera out there.
