Version 1 FAQ
- Question - Does the SmallRig 3891 (Black Mamba) cage work with CineBack for the Rc5?
- Answer - Kind of... You can use the two silver screws and a washer to fill the space between the 3891 cage and CineBack but since the cage is so thin at points, it can actually warp a little and pull the camera out of alignment. For this reason we've opted to not include the Black Mamba cage in the list of compatible options. Below are some photos of the screw placement for those interested in still using the cage.
