This Basic Kit for the Sony FX3 provides protective armor for the camera body and includes relevant accessories to improve the functionality of the Sony FX3 in a video production environment. The Full Cage features several 1/4”-20 threads with various locating pins, two cold shoe receivers, a NATO Rail for Wooden and Advanced Side Handles, as well as a Rod Attachment Port for our Single Rod Holders. The left side arm module can be removed to turn this full cage into a half cage. This offers greater flexibility for stripping the camera down in situations where weight is a concern such as when mounting the system on a gimbal. The Bottom Plate of the cage also provides several mounting points for attaching your camera to various quick release plates and is compatible with the ARCA Receiver of the RS2 Mounting Plate. The included Quick Release Plate can be attached to the bottom of the cage to connect the system to our 15m LWS Baseplate Type IV. The 15mm LWS Baseplate adds 15mm rod support to the system and allows you to mount rod based accessories such as matte boxes and follow focus systems. The bottom of this baseplate natively connects to our Tilta Standard Dovetails and also supports various quick release plates via 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads. The included Rotatable Top Handle mounts to the cold shoe receiver on the Top Mounting Plate and can be adjusted to be used as a side handle when shooting vertically. The Top Mounting Plate doubles as a NATO Rail for Side Handles to be mounted on top of the camera for vertical shooting needs. The Top Mounting Plate can also be removed independently of the other cage components, which allows you to easily mount the FX3’s original XLR Top Handle if needed.
