Tilta Camera Cage with Cooling System for Canon R5 Mark II Advanced Kit - Black

Overview

The Tilta Camera Cage with Cooling System for Canon R5 Mark II Advanced Kit represents a comprehensive solution for professional videographers and content creators using the Canon R5 Mark II camera body. This advanced kit is custom-designed specifically for the Canon R5 Mark II, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration with the camera body. The system combines protective housing with active thermal management, addressing one of the primary limitations of high-resolution video recording on this camera platform.

Core Design and Construction

The full cage features a lightweight and portable design, weighing only 0.5 pounds or 241 grams, which is 0.3 pounds or 122 grams lighter than Canon's original cooling grip. The cage is constructed from premium materials including aluminum alloy and stainless steel, providing durability without excessive weight. Soft silicone padding and multiple points of contact between the camera and cage ensure a solid connection and strong foundation for mounting accessories, while protecting the camera body from impact and stress.

Mounting and Accessory Integration

The cage provides extensive mounting options for professional accessories through multiple integration points. The full cage features a cold shoe receiver, M3 threads for mount adapter support, and both 1/4 inch-20 and 3/8 inch-16 threads with locating points. Additional features include wrist strap holders and an Arca-Swiss bottom plate for versatile mounting compatibility. The Arca height adjustable 15mm LWS baseplate allows users to adjust the height of their camera in relation to their rods, maintaining the LWS 85mm standard between rods and the center of the sensor for compatibility with a range of various accessories and camera bodies.

Cooling System Performance

The built-in dual-speed cooling system is engineered to significantly extend the camera's recording time during demanding video sessions. The intelligent thermal control features a dual-speed fan system that adapts to different shooting scenarios, delivering over 120 minutes of continuous 8K30P or 4K60P recording capability. The system operates through two Type-C I/O ports supporting 30 watts of power delivery. This active cooling solution addresses thermal throttling issues that can interrupt professional production workflows.

Power Management and Handle Systems

The advanced kit includes a PD side handle with a high-capacity internal 50-watt-hour battery, which delivers 50 watts of power delivery output for the cooling system and extended operating time. The release lever on the handle allows for quick and precise adjustments to the handle's angle, simplifying operation and creating a more efficient workflow. The kit also includes a top handle that expands mounting options while improving flexibility for operating various configurations and shooting angles. These handle systems transform the cage from a protective housing into a fully integrated production rig.

Technical Specifications and Accessories

The full cage assembly measures 4.6 by 3.7 by 2.8 inches or 117 by 93 by 71 millimeters. The cooling system operates across a temperature range from negative 4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit or negative 20 to 60 degrees Celsius. The advanced kit package includes the cooling cage, the PD side handle with internal battery, a top handle, an adjustable baseplate, and two aluminum black rods. The system features a NATO rail mount for additional accessory compatibility and includes security attachments that provide multiple points of contact between the camera and cage for enhanced stability during production use.

Workflow Optimization Features

The cage incorporates several design elements specifically intended to streamline professional production workflows. Quick-release magnetic tools enable hassle-free assembly and disassembly without requiring additional equipment or extended setup time. The flexible range positioning allows the distance from the center of the rods to the Arca receiver to be adjusted between 18 and 38 millimeters, accommodating various rig configurations. These thoughtful engineering details reduce setup time and allow videographers to focus on their creative work rather than technical adjustments.

Protection and Stability

Premium silicone protection meets maximum stability through the cage's multi-point contact design with the camera body. The protective padding prevents direct contact between hard metal surfaces and the camera, safeguarding the equipment during transport and use on active production sets. The security attachments provide additional points of contact, ensuring the camera remains firmly secured even when operating at challenging angles or in dynamic production environments. This comprehensive protection system allows professionals to confidently mount external monitors, audio equipment, and other accessories without compromising camera security.

Professional Integration

The Tilta Camera Cage with Cooling System Advanced Kit transforms the Canon R5 Mark II into a fully integrated cinema production camera. By combining active thermal management with professional mounting infrastructure, the system enables extended 4K and 8K recording sessions that would otherwise be limited by thermal constraints. The thoughtful integration of power delivery, multiple handle configurations, and extensive accessory mounting points creates a versatile platform suitable for documentary production, commercial video work, live event coverage, and high-end content creation applications.
