EOS R5 C Side Handle Control

VidHeadz — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 16:57:33 GMT

Hey guys,

I'm looking to find a side handle to control basic video functions. I currently have the Porkeys Keygrip still working on getting it to work. I have seen in a post here a gentleman was working on the getting a Canon GR-V1 to work with the C70. He found a couple other solutions with caveats. I see that he N3 port can be converted to lanc and was wondering if it can work for video function control? I have big hands and I mainly shoot video sometimes I inadvertently hit buttons while filming. I want to get a side handle for my rig where I don't have to hold the camera grip. Thank you for any information you may be able to contribute.

Hello VidHeadz,

Canon does not make a specific side handle for this camera model unfortunately. While having a lot of our cinema lineup features, you are going to be a bit more limited with the accessories and interchangeability using this camera. I do apologize for any inconvenience that may cause.

Greetings,

Might a gimbal be a possible solution for you?

I would like to be able to run the R5C on my two gimbals the Zhiyun Crane 3s and the Ronin RS2. Do you know if there is any problem running on these gimbals?
