Tilta Camera Cage for Sony FX5 Pro Kit - Stable and Versatile

Discover the features of the Tilta Camera Cage for Sony FX5 Pro Kit, designed to provide your film camera with a stable and secure platform in all recording scenarios. This camera cage is tailored for the Sony FX5 camera body and offers a secure connection with three contact points, eliminating twisting and giving you peace of mind during recording. Ideal for both professional filmmakers and enthusiasts looking to maximize their equipment.

Features and Benefits

The complete cage structure can easily be transformed into a lighter half cage by removing two screws at the bottom and detaching the handle mount. This allows users to customize their setup to achieve a more compact and less cumbersome configuration without losing essential features. With this flexibility, filmmakers can switch freely between the two modes depending on their recording needs.

The Full Cage offers a variety of mounting options for accessories, including 1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16 threads with multiple placement points, a cold shoe mount, a NATO rail for the top handle, as well as mounting points for a simple rod holder. The standalone top plate is a NATO rail that provides additional threads for flexible accessory mounting, allowing various accessories to be attached in all directions without affecting the camera's original XLR handle.

A bi-directional ARCA bottom plate slides in from both sides for quick transitions between tripods and gimbals. A new DJI gimbal centering point on the bottom reduces balancing time, while a separate centering point for base plates helps users build a well-balanced rig. Reinforced corners on the cage structure protect against accidental bumps and damage during active filming, providing extra peace of mind in unpredictable recording environments. A lockable HDMI cable clamp keeps cables secure, ensuring that the signal is stable and constant.

All buttons, controls, and screen functions are easily accessible. Specially designed spaces ensure that nothing is blocked, and the cage structure is also designed to seamlessly integrate with the Nucleus Autofocus Adapter, allowing the use of the adapter directly with this cage without interference. The camera grip has been reshaped, and together with the cage grip, it follows the natural curve of the palm with a dedicated pinky support, making the grip both ergonomic and comfortable.

This kit also includes the Xeno Top Handle, which connects to the Top Plate via the NATO rail and enhances handling through a sleek design with increased clearance. This handle offers multiple mounting options for additional accessories, including 1/4″-20 threads and a cold shoe mount, perfect for mounting an external monitor. The Arca height-adjustable 15mm LWS base allows users to adjust the camera height relative to their rods, helping to maintain the LWS 85mm standard between the rods and sensor center to ensure compatibility with various accessories and camera bodies.

Also included is the Xeno Side Handle, which uses a NATO connection to attach to the left side of the cage structure with height adjustment. Non-slip silicone provides a textured grip that enhances stability, and mounting points such as a cold shoe mount and a 1/4″-20 thread with placement points offer additional versatility.
