I purchased the SmallRig Canon M50 Cage and I have to say, I am impressed with its quality and functionality.The build quality of the cage is fantastic, it feels solid and durable. It provides great protection for my Canon M50 camera and at the same time, it does not add much weight to the camera making it easy to carry around. The cage fits the camera snugly and securely, I never have to worry about my camera coming loose during use.The cage has a variety of mounting points for accessories, making it easier for me to attach different devices to my camera setup. The included NATO rail and cold shoe mount are especially useful for me.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the SmallRig Canon M50 Cage. It is well worth the investment for anyone looking to protect their camera while adding versatility to their setup. I highly recommend this product to any Canon M50 owner.

I've heard many people rave about SmallRig cages, so when I needed a cage for my new Canon M50 I chose this one. To be honest, I kind of bawked at the price initially, but now that I've used it, it's worth every penny.This thing has transformed my M50. The Canon M50 is a smallish body camera and the battery/card access door being on the bottom is a bit of a pain. Okay, a major pain!With the SmallRig cage, the grip is now larger and feels much better in my hand. The integrated ARCA Swiss rail on the bottom AND open access to the battery door has made access a breeze. It's so much easier to remove the camera from the tripod and access the battery and/or memory card because there's no need to remove a QR plate from the camera every time. A bonus is all of the threaded mounting points on the cage which allows me to attach mics, lights, and more with ease. Plus the cage provides some protective armor for the camera.I love my M50 and this SmallRig cage is a big reason why!P.S. - The fit and finish are also top quality - Buy it, you will not be sorry!

I have not dropped my camera and hopefully never will, so I cannot comment on how well the frame protects the body. However, after some use, I can give a review on the fit of the frame and the comfort of it on my Canon M50.I noticed when buying this that many people were commenting that the rig was made for a M5 and that a M50 was slightly too small which caused it to move a little within the frame which would eventually lead to the mounting screw coming loose. Many people posted solutions to this in the review section on how to fix it by putting another point of contact between the camera body and the frame. I purchased this knowing that I may need to utilize one of these DIY fixes, but to my surprise when I put it on my body, it fit like a glove. There is no wiggle in the camera when mounted on and it feels very secure. Maybe smallrig updated their frame size to better accommodate the Canon M50?In terms of comfort, I have relatively small hands, so the small body of the Canon M50 felt pretty comfortable in my hands even though some people, especially those that have used bigger bodied DSLR cameras before may feel that the body is uncomfortably small in their hands. This is a great solution for that since the groove around the battery makes the grip much larger and really gives you a much larger area to grasp. My only complaint is that it is pure steel all the way around the frame including in the grip area which covers much of the nice rubbery grip of the camera's body. This means that you trade in the grippyness of the grip for a larger sized grip. You can always DIY fix this by putting some type of adhesive there by yourself, but it would have been a nice touch for smallrig to add something to make the grip feel just that much more secure.I would highly recommend this product, especially if you are planning to mount many things to your camera as it gives you and extra shoe mount and many other places to add accessories.

I use the EOS M50 primarily for still photography and was finding it awkward to use due to its small size and light weight. I kept accidentally pushing buttons as I was positioning it in the tripod or moving the back screen. It was driving me crazy and I was considering returning the camera.This has transformed the M50. There's now a better, more secure grip and the camera has added weight so it feels solid and less fragile. There's easy access to swing the battery door and the bottom rail serves as a plate that fits into my arca Swiss clamp. This works well for me and I'm happy.I experienced a slight wiggle until I did the simple & quick "gaffer tape" fix as mentioned by another reviewer and now it's solid as a rock. This has been a positive addition and I'm quite satisfied with the rig. Plus, I am all set if I decide to use it for video.

Great Protection for my camera.I have one for both of my cameras.

Seems to offer pretty good protection for my M50 Mark II, but I haven't taken it out anywhere yet. I do wish they still the "L Bracket" for the M50, as I'd like the extra Arca plate on the side, but this looks like it offers a decent amount of customization. It fells sturdy and well built. It's nice to retain access to all ports/buttons on the camera. Overall it gives the camera just enough extra size to feel a little bit more comfortable in my (large) hands.There are a couple design issues that I'm not a huge fan of though:- While the cage does technically allow you to use an EF adapter, you cannot use a tripod foot on your adapter (at least on my Viltrox). This is annoying because my EF lenses are my "big" glass and I prefer having the weight shifted to balance better on the tripod. This wouldn't be an issue with a tripod foot on the lens it's self, but I use the tripod foot on my Viltrox adapter.- The top of the cage does interfere slightly with your finger on the adjustment dial around the shutter release. It's not a huge deal but just enough to be annoying.
