Sony FX5 Cage and Mounting Options
Made from durable CNC-machined aluminum, the Sony FX5 Camera Cage is precisely designed to protect the Sony FX5 while expanding its functionality. The camera is securely mounted to the cage with a 1/4-20 screw, ensuring a rigid and reliable connection suitable for professional productions. The cage features a versatile range of 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threaded mounting holes with ARRI-style anti-twist positioning patterns, providing multiple options for mounting accessories such as external monitors, magic arms, or wireless systems. A side NATO rail allows quick, tool-free attachment of compatible NATO side handles, clamps, and other accessories, making it easy to customize the rig on set. An integrated cold shoe receiver on top allows microphones, wireless receivers, or compact lights to be mounted, while the built-in HDMI locking system ensures a secure and stable cable connection, helping prevent accidental signal loss during filming.
Ultra-Light Baseplate and Configuration
At the base, the cage features an ARCA Swiss quick-release plate, allowing smooth transitions between gimbal, tripod, and handheld configurations without requiring additional plates or adapters. By installing the ARCA Swiss plate on the right side of the cage, it can be combined with its baseplate for 9×16 vertical shooting. The cage’s design provides full access to all essential camera controls, input/output ports, memory card slot, and battery compartment. All original camera functions, including the top handle and accessory ports, remain fully accessible while the camera is mounted inside the cage. Developed around SHAPE’s 15 mm LWS system, the SHAPE Ultra-Light Baseplate is compatible with industry-standard rods and allows the mounting of follow focuses, matte boxes, lens supports, and other essential accessories with precise alignment. Its universal ARCA Swiss-compatible mounting system enables quick transitions between tripod, gimbal, handheld, and slider configurations without disrupting the setup. An optical center locking pin ensures that the camera locks precisely on the optical axis, while a rear locking lever clamps the camera cage or body from the back, keeping everything firmly in place even during dynamic shoots. Despite its robust construction, the setup remains ultra-lightweight, minimizing strain on the rig while maintaining high performance.
Complete Shoulder Support Kit
This kit includes a Silicone Series Swing Away Mattebox, a single-rod clamp Follow Focus, a pair of 18-inch rods, a set of dual quick-release rod blocks with handles, a Mini Composite Shoulder Pad, and a back pad. This complete configuration allows the Sony FX5 to be adapted for shoulder-mounted operation while providing extensive flexibility for accessory mounting and lens control. Designed for professional production rigs as well as mobile setups, the kit provides stability, comfort, and versatility to enhance the Sony FX5 shooting experience.
