Introducing the Smallrig 4505
The Smallrig 4505 is a compact and multifunctional V-mount battery support designed to optimize mobile shooting setups. Its L-shaped design combines a V-mount battery plate, an extendable rod, 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads, and an integrated Arca-type mount compatible with all SmallRig cages equipped with an Arca-Swiss QR plate. Lightweight and foldable, this kit measures only 113.5 x 30 mm and weighs 199g, making it easy to transport.
Its extendable base can adjust up to 36.5 mm to accommodate different camera sizes. Locking is quick and easy via a tool-free dial. The mount also rotates 180°, providing easy access to the camera’s tilting screen without removing the battery, and features a dampened pivot system to prevent equipment from falling.
The Smallrig 4505 is compatible with most mirrorless and DSLR cameras less than 111 mm thick, such as the Sony Alpha 7R V / Alpha 7 IV / FX3, Canon EOS R5C / R6 Mark II / R7, Panasonic S5 II / GH6, among others. It is also compatible with Arca-Swiss and Manfrotto tripods and accepts accessories mounted on 15 mm rods at the rear.
