Tilta Camera Cage for Canon C400 Pro Kit - V Mount

The Tilta ES-T22-C-V Pro Kit is a complete working rig for the Canon EOS C400 in one box: the cage with Top Plates A and B, a quick release shoulder pad baseplate, a multifunctional top handle, a pair of 200 mm 15 mm carbon fibre rods, an extension arm for the camera's side handle with a USB-C cable, a tool kit and a V-Mount battery plate with USB-C PD and 14.8 V outputs. The same kit with the other battery type is ES-T22-C-AB.

The Pro Kit is the largest of the three Tilta kits for the Canon EOS C400, and it is a finished rig rather than a starting point. Cage, shoulder pad baseplate, top handle, rods and power all come in one box, together with an extension arm and USB-C cable that move the camera's side handle to where it belongs during shoulder work — so the controls stay under your hand.

Key features

A tight fit with no play

The cage meets the Canon EOS C400 body at several points, so the rig stays tight even after hours of shooting. Edges and connectors stay protected from knocks and scratches, and the camera will not shift in the cage even with a lens and follow focus hanging off it.

Modular build

Build the rig the way you want it: the top plate, left and right side arms, bottom plate and multifunctional back plate are separate parts and every one of them comes off. The back plate carries a lightweight battery plate and other accessories.

Power through the battery plate

The Tilta battery plate for the C400 gives you two USB-C PD outputs (60 W and 20 W), a regulated 14.8 V output and a 45 W USB-C PD input that can run the whole rig from a power bank. The plate swings aside, so you can reach the in-camera battery without taking anything apart.

Top handle with a cold shoe

The top handle carries a cold shoe and a row of threads for a monitor, microphone or wireless transmitter. It leaves the shoe accessible, works with the original EVF extension bracket and does not get in the way of a V-Mount battery on the back plate.

Works with the original Canon handle

The cage is routed so it does not cover the body's cooling vents, and it leaves room for the original Canon C400 top handle and its connection cable. The EVF cable has its own opening with a locking screw.

Ready for shoulder work

With the shoulder pad baseplate you go from tripod to shoulder in moments. It takes 15 mm rods at the front for a matte box and follow focus, and has ARRI rosettes on both sides for extension arms and hand grips.

What is in the kit and what is not

Compared with the Advanced Kit (ES-T22-B) it adds a V-Mount battery plate, a right extension arm for the camera's side handle, a 500 mm USB-C extension cable, a right side arm for the Tilta Lightweight Shoulder Rig and a tool kit.

According to the manufacturer the Pro Kit does not contain the Manfrotto-style quick release bottom plate or the ES-T22-RMP rear accessory mounting plate that come with the Base Kit. Both can be bought separately.
