R5/R6 - Battery / Coupler / Charging in the field - lessons & questions
Got my field configuration complete.
I purchased the battery clamp, screwed that to cheapo-Chineeso Arca clamp that I clamp to the Arca plate under my camera body. Works fabulously. Thanx SSO-Images!!!
Tips: note how the battery clamp is offset with the cheapo clamp... the Arca screw knob interferes with the clamp... being offset is fine. I am not posting the link to the cheapo-Chineeso clamp.. about $10 on eBay.. there are a gazillion of them out there. just make sure it has a few different 1/4" screw holes to allow you to offset the battery clamp.
Peace

Note the little strain relief gizmo on the side of the camera that prevents damage from whacking the cable.... this gizmo is provided by Canon in the R5 box.
Four pieces: Battery, battery clamp, cheapo-Chineeso Arca clamp, USB C-to-C cable (comes with R5 camera in box)
Update: Just replaced the USB C-to-C cable with an approx 8" shortie... and has two 90 degree plugs. Cheepie from eBay... I warmed the cable and bent it to be a perfect flat fit. The 90 degree plug lays the cable flat against the camera and I have eliminated the Canon strain relief thingy. Nice.
