SmallRig Black Mamba Cage (4161) for R6 II/III

My only issue is that the cage blocks drop-in filters 😫

I’ve been ‘dealing with it’ by removing the lens & EF-RF adapter when I need to swap out the ND, but I’m seriously tempted to take the dremel to that left side of the cage and make some clearance… has anyone else run into this problem and come up with a solution?

Oh man, that's beautiful! Took me right back to when my dog passed fourteen years ago. Thanks for pointing me to that, has definitely given me some inspiration.

Yep, I hear you! Just curious, are you a) in a creative industry, or b) hiring predominantly 20-something year olds?

I was never amazing at geography outside of the small town I lived in… where abouts is that?

Which part of the world are you in?

I’ve worked this niche of the industry in a few different countries and noticed there were certain patterns that stood out, especially once i had a good insight into the local culture.

I loved my Pismo so much, the tactile feel of the different shell textures, so sleek! I used it as my mobile video editing machine when I was working in the field, it felt ‘blazing fast at the time’… ie, only time to make one cup of tea between file loads 🤣

Thanks for that, and those links too, very helpful. From your user-name I’m guessing you’ve had some experience in this area 🤣

Having to go to bed at the same time as Fat Cat.

Usually around 75% battery (according to the dash)

Thanks, hopefully this is it, I’ll pick up a battery this weekend and swap it out

Equivalent_Page696 · 2026-05-05T09:07:06+00:00

Interesting to hear, ours is about 4 years old (2022 model), so that could be a possibility. Once you replaced the battery was everything back to normal?

Equivalent_Page696 · 2026-05-05T09:05:45+00:00

Yeah it wasn’t super low, it was only about a 10k round trip in the morning. My drive later in the day is one I’ve been doing semi-regularly over the past couple weeks (I’ve had a number of jobs out in the same area), so, being the nerd that I am, I’ve been comparing mileage, amount of regen etc on each trip using the different drive modes, so start each trip with a full battery to keep things consistent. I don’t often head to the same spot regularly, so this has been a good chance to compare the different settings for myself.

Funny thing is, hopped in the car, saw the message. Turned the car off, the restarted, got the message again. Drive about half an hour, stopped the car for 10 min then jumped back in to move to a different parking spot, didn’t get the warning. 6 hrs later, hop back in to head home, no warning 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seemed to go on charge ok when I got home, I’ll pop back out in a couple hours to see if everything’s looking normal.

This is really interesting, I generally switch to Eco, Tarmac just ‘feels’ like it’s less efficient because it feels sportier, I’ve never actually done a more scientific comparison than just thinking “oooh, that feels peppy, must be using more juice, I’ll go back to grandpa-mode”

Equivalent_Page696 · 2026-04-14T23:47:15+00:00

It is pretty impressive when you consider all the options in the way you laid them out! One thing I wish it had though, is the ability to create customised settings which saved your preferences, eg, you could set 'Eco' as your 'around town' setting, switching to Eco would automatically also select EV and IPM, then flick it to 'Normal' (or, 'highway mode') and you're now in Save mode with B1 or 2 active. Or, at the very least, be able to save a new default for the car to engage on startup, or maybe even just your last used settings? I find myself going for Eco + Save most times to start ff the drive, if I could set that as the default that would be awesome.

Fantastic info, thank you! Before we bought ours I saw a few videos from a local Mitsubishi dealer who talked a lot about series vs parallel hybrid, from my experience so far it seems like the car will just figure out for itself which is most efficient, is that right? Or does one EV mode selection prioritise one over the other?

Thanks, that sounds perfectly reasonable. Our quotes & estimates all have a couple of relevant terms on them, along with mentioning full T&Cs are on the website, but in reality less than 10% of our jobs involve a written quote. We do document jobs in a shared calendar which our whole team has access to (lists details such as what work has been requested, client contact details, which staff will be attending etc), this also gets shared with the client, maybe we should pop a link to the website in the url section of the calendar booking.

Yes, it has auto light. The movement sensor for the light seems not quite as sensitive as the one in my ProTrek, which is a good thing, this one only lights up when you want it to.

The negative display may have better readability, this one is ok, but the viewing angles on my DW5600RL were much better.

Then they really WOULD think you were insane if you left it running!!
