Hello

I've got a smallrig cage for my GH5s and I'm very happy with it for the price
only think is I cant put my top handle when using the XLR adapter.
I didn't get the big helmet kit from smallrig that is meant to do this as I find it to bulky, also I don't use the xlr adapter all the time

anyway I just need to deport a little bit a nato rail to get it just above the XLR unit

I found this : https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1348554-REG/movcam_mov_303_3503_riser_rail.html which looks just the right thing,
but I don't know if it'll fit the smallrig cage

anybody has this Movcam cage and tell me if the screws in the front are 1/4'' and what space there is between them ?

Thanks !
 
To eleaborate...Don’t have a ruler handy right now so can’t provide the spacing, but overall I do not think that Movcam riser would be great to modify to fit a SmallRig cage. The screws are about half the width of 1/4-20 & there are small lips on the top & bottom where it slots onto the face of the Movcam cage. If you were to tap out the threads to 1/4-20 I’m not sure there would be enough structure left to properly attach a top handle.
 
hum....okay. Thanks for the info, you saved me from buying it for nothing.

if anyone else has another idea that would fit, I'm buying !
