The SmallRig Full Camera Cage for Canon EOS R6 Mark III/R6 II/R5 II (Hawklock) 5954 is a specialized camera support designed to maximize the efficiency and protection of your Canon R-series mirrorless camera, focusing heavily on its unique Hawklock quick-release system.

This product is the foundational component for building a professional video or photography rig around the camera body.

Key Feature: Hawklock Quick Release System
The distinguishing element of the Model 5954 cage is its integrated quick-release architecture:

Integrated NATO Rails: The cage features built-in “HawkLock” H21 NATO rails on the top and left side.

Arca-Swiss Base: The bottom is equipped with a “HawkLock” H38 Arca-Swiss compatible interface.

Rapid Setup: This system allows compatible SmallRig “HawkLock” accessories (handles, monitor mounts, etc.) to be instantly attached and securely self-locked with a simple snap-on motion, facilitating tool-free and high-speed rig assembly/disassembly.

Design and Construction
Compatibility: Precisely designed for the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, R6 Mark II, and R5 Mark II.

Secure Locking: The cage locks the camera securely using a three-point anti-twist mechanism: one 1/4″-20 screw at the base and dual side locating blocks, ensuring the camera cannot twist inside the cage.

Ergonomics: The formfitting design maintains full, unhindered access to all camera buttons, controls, ports, the battery door, and the articulating screen.

Construction: Made from lightweight and durable aluminum alloy, featuring silicone pads to protect the camera body from scratches.

Versatile Mounting Points
The cage is covered with standard interfaces for professional rigging:

1/4″-20 Threaded Holes and ARRI 3/8″-16 Locating Holes for mounting monitors, magic arms, and other accessories.

Cold Shoe Mounts for direct attachment of microphones or LED lights.

QD (Quick Detach) Sockets for fast attachment of camera straps.

Integrated Arca-Swiss Base allows direct mounting to Arca-type tripods or quick connection to DJI RS series gimbals (RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3 Pro, etc.).

The SmallRig 5954 Hawklock cage is ideal for filmmakers who require the absolute fastest transition times between different shooting modes (handheld, tripod, or gimbal) using a consistent and secure quick-release ecosystem.

Emma Q. ★★★★★

Setup was a breeze—the Hawklock system clicks right into place with my R6 II, and now I can mount accessories without worrying about blocking the battery door. The cage feels solid but not overly heavy, which keeps my handheld shots steady for longer sessions.

Abigail ★★★★★

I've had this cage for a few weeks now and the Arca-Swiss bottom plate makes switching between tripod and handheld so much easier. The cutouts give me perfect access to the battery door and ports without removing it.

Zoe F. ★★★★★

The Hawklock mechanism locks my R6 II in place with zero wobble, which is exactly what I needed for gimbal work. Feels solid and the bottom plate gives quick access to the battery door without removing the whole cage.
