It not only cuts down on weight but also permits access to panels easier. At the same time, the &#8220;mini&#8221; as I call it takes advantage of the &#8220;none&#8221; cage for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bedfords.com\/ssearch\/?search_query=ninja+v\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ninja V<\/a>,. As you can see, I just have the one small piece on the bottom of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bedfords.com\/ssearch\/?search_query=ninja+v\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ninja V<\/a>, so you can attach it to the SmallRig. This whole thing saves over a pound while permitting secure usage off or on a tripod. It&#8217;s a small thing, the weight savings, the methodology, the SmallRig!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had a number of emails from folks listening to my Podcast 169 ask about the SmallRig I was talking about.
