Introducing the Camera Cage for Sony FX5 Pro Kit, to empower and expand your cinema camera for any shooting scenario.
Custom designed for the Sony FX5 camera body, the full cage features three points of contact for a stable, twist-free connection. The cage also breaks down into a lightweight half cage by removing two bottom screws and removing the handle-side bracket. With this setup, users can achieve a lighter and less bulky configuration that still maintains important functionalities. Switch freely between the two modes depending on your setup needs.
The Full Cage features many ways to mount various accessories such as 1/4”-20 and 3/8″-16 threads with various locating points, a cold shoe receiver, a NATO Rail for Top Handles, and mounting points for a Single Rod Holder.
The standalone top plate is a NATO Rail that adds multiple threads for more flexible accessory mounting, while 1/4″-20, 3/8″-16, and NATO, open up mounting options in every direction all while maintaining support for the camera’s original XLR handle.
A bi-directional ARCA baseplate slides in from either direction for fast transitions between tripods and gimbals. A new DJI gimbal center-positioning point on the bottom reduces balancing time and a separate center-positioning point for baseplates helps users build a well-balanced rig.
Reinforced corners on the cage guard against accidental bumps and damage during active filming, giving an extra peace of mind for unpredictable shooting environments. A locking HDMI cable clamp keeps cables secure and the signal safe and constant.
All buttons, dials, and screen functionality are fully accessible. Special clearances are designed to ensure nothing is blocked. The cage is also designed to seamlessly integrate with the Nucleus Autofocus Adapter, letting you use the adapter directly with this cage without interference The camera’s grip is reshaped and when combined with the cage’s grip, follows the natural curve of the palm with a dedicated pinky rest. Elevating the camera’s grip to something truly ergonomic and comfortable.
Included in this kit is the Xeno Top Handle, which connects to the Top Plate via Top NATO rail and improves handling via an elegant design with increased clearance. This handle features multiple mounting options for additional accessories including 1/4″-20 threads and a Cold Shoe Receiver, perfect for mounting an external monitor.
The Arca Height Adjustable 15mm LWS Baseplate allows users to adjust the height of their camera in relation to their rods which helps maintain the LWS 85mm standard between rods and the center of their sensor in order to ensure compatibility with a range of various accessories and camera bodies.
Also included is the Xeno Side Handle which utilizes a NATO connection to mount to the left side of the cage with height adjustability. Non-slip silicone provides a textured grip that improves stability and mounting points such as a Cold Shoe Receiver and a 1/4″-20 thread with locating points accommodate additional accessories.
