Protection 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.
Mounting and Camera Access
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.
A Modular Rig for Professional Productions
With its balance of protection, expandability, and workflow efficiency, the Sony FX5 Camera Cage provides a reliable modular foundation for professional filmmakers looking for a versatile setup for cinema production. Fully compatible with the DJI RS3 gimbal system, it allows the camera to be easily integrated into different shooting environments while maintaining a high degree of configuration flexibility.
