Description:
This camera cage for the Sony FX30 and FX3 expands mounting options while keeping access to controls, providing a stable platform for handheld, tripod and gimbal workflows. It helps protect the camera body and adds quick-change compatibility with popular stabilisers, making it easier to switch between rigs for run-and-gun shoots or studio setups.
Key Points
The modular design lets you use the cage as a full enclosure or as a half cage, depending on how much access you need to ports and buttons. The removable top plate accepts the original XLR top handle, so you can retain factory accessories without extra adapters. 🎥
Multiple mounting points are distributed across the frame to attach magic arms, side handles and quick-release plates. The presence of a NATO rail and threaded holes increases flexibility for adding audio, lights or monitoring devices. Rubber pads on contact surfaces reduce the risk of scratches and three attachment points keep the camera stable inside the cage. 🛠️
Materials and finish contribute to daily reliability. The aluminium construction provides rigidity and corrosion resistance, according to the manufacturer. Consider that the cage adds some bulk and weight, which may be less convenient for very compact setups or when absolute lightness is required.
Usage Recommendations
Use the quick release plate at the bottom to move swiftly between handheld, tripod and gimbal modes. When shooting on a gimbal such as DJI RS series, the plate supports quick mounting and unmounting to maintain workflow speed. For interviews or run-and-gun scenarios, attach the original XLR handle for familiar ergonomics and neat cable management.
Attach a side handle on the NATO rail for low-angle moves and improved grip. The strap holes on both sides and the bottom allow for hand or shoulder straps to be added for extra security during mobile shooting. If you frequently change accessories, keep the top plate removable so you can swap the original handle or other items without tools. 🎛️
