I've created a C70 rig and having the monitor on the extended battery really helps. The tilta cage has lots of capability built in, but a built-in ARCA swiss plate was one reason why I went with a different cage.

Damien, good stuff with this video. is there a lot of difference between the SmallRig Handheld Kit for Canon and Tilta. Is the cold shoe mount on the left side further than the SmallRig? That is a smart difference and choice to go with the Tilta. I look forward to your response.

Thanks for another great, informative video! I think I’m about to get that cage. You went with the 90mm nato rail, but if only for the handle would maybe the 50mm or 70mm be a good option too so as to cut down on size? Or might the longer one be needed for mounting properly to the cage? Thanks again!

I already had the 90mm so I used that one. Pretty sure the 70mm should work too but no guarantees.

Do we really need peak design to design a proper way to attach such a side strap?😅 Nice video! But I don’t really see a reason for the cage .. if you would just use the attachments delivered by Canon 😅 would be lighter! And btw you have a major sound improvement in using something like a KM 184 .. I compared mine with the Shure pro and Deity and it is THAT much better. 😜 .. at least for an audiophile 🙃)
@damiencooper 2 жыл бұрын
well, the original top handle is horrible :D. The audiomount also sits too high so it interfers with the monitor and you don't get a proper tripod mount on the bottom either. Plus, I do sometimes attach extra stuff to the cage as you can see in the b-roll.

@@damiencooper u can just turn the audio Mount upside down at the side! 🙃 And I don’t get why everyone hates on the Canon top handle.. it’s robust, VERY light and feels good after a short time of use. U should really give that “minimal” setup a try. I use the Tilta Extended Quick Release Baseplate for DJI RS 2 directly onto the C70 .. so I use the RS2s Arca Swiss plate for tripods..
