👎 Cons

The cage is customized for the Canon R6 Mark II, making it incompatible with other camera models.
Specific SmallRig accessories (e.g., handles, monitor mounts) mentioned by ID numbers are not included and must be purchased separately.
While the cage is rugged, it adds some bulk and weight to the camera setup, which might not be ideal for ultra-minimalist shooters.
The quick release plate for Arca and DJI RS series only specifies compatibility, not that the camera becomes natively Arca or DJI RS mount.
Users relying solely on cold shoe mounts might find the single cold shoe insufficient for multiple accessories.
