SmallRig 5588 Cage Kit for Sony FX2 – All-in-one protection and mounting solutions

SmallRig 5588 Cage Kit is designed to provide your Sony FX2 with outstanding protection and functionality. It is perfect for both professional and amateur filmmakers who want to maximize their creative potential. With this kit, you get comprehensive protection for your camera while gaining access to a variety of mounting options for different accessories.

Design and functionality

This cage is meticulously constructed with precision-cut cutouts, ensuring that the camera's tiltable EVF, buttons, and ports remain fully accessible. This allows the user to easily navigate and adjust settings without obstruction. The XLR handle extension provides enhanced comfort with an extended grip area, which is particularly useful during longer recordings. Additionally, it is equipped with integrated 1/4"-20 threaded holes, allowing for the smooth mounting of monitor brackets and other accessories.

Mounting options and accessories

The cage features a removable top plate with a NATO rail, enabling the use of Sony's XLR top handle or SmallRig's rotating top handle (4152) without obstructing the EVF. There are several mounting points, including 1/4"-20 threaded holes, 3/8"-16 ARRI positioning holes, and a “HawkLock” NATO rail, making it easy to quickly attach accessories like side handles and top handles. For added flexibility, there is an accessory shoe mount that allows you to attach devices like the DJI Mic 2 or LED lights. Furthermore, the cage has a QD outlet at the bottom for shoulder straps, enhancing portability.

A convenient feature is the magnetic Allen key located in the bottom section, which facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the cage. The quick-release plate at the bottom, along with the “HawkLock” H38 Arca-Swiss quick-release plate (4486), allows for easy attachment with an automatic locking mechanism. This system also enables quick switching between handheld, tripod, and gimbal configurations, and is compatible with DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, and RS 4 Pro stabilizers. To ensure stable and secure data transfer, an HDMI cable clamp is also included.
