SmallRig 5589 Cage Kit for Sony FX2 - Comprehensive Protection and Flexibility

The SmallRig 5589 Cage Kit is expertly designed to provide robust protection for your Sony FX2 camera while offering a variety of mounting options. This cage is perfect for both professional and enthusiastic filmmakers who want to maximize the functionality and ergonomics of their camera during shoots.

Design and Features

With precision cutouts, the cage ensures that the camera's tiltable EVF, buttons, and ports remain easily accessible, making usage simple and hassle-free. SmallRig's rotatable top handle (4152) offers 360° rotation with a simple press, making it easy to adjust the handle for unobstructed access to the viewfinder when shooting handheld.

The removable top plate is equipped with a NATO rail that is compatible with Sony's XLR top handle or SmallRig's rotatable top handle without interfering with the EVF function. This allows the user to quickly customize their rig for different shooting scenarios.

Mounting Options and Accessories

The SmallRig 5589 Cage Kit is designed with multiple mounting points, including 1/4”-20 threaded holes and 3/8”-16 ARRI positioning holes. Additionally, it features a “HawkLock” NATO rail that enables quick attachment of accessories such as side handles and top handles, making the rig extremely versatile.

For added functionality, there is an accessory shoe mount that allows you to attach devices like the DJI Mic 2 or LED lights. The built-in QD socket at the bottom of the cage makes it easy to use shoulder straps, enhancing portability during your film projects. A magnetic hex key at the bottom facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, saving time during hectic filming sessions.

The quick release plate at the bottom, along with the “HawkLock” H38 Arca-Swiss quick release plate (4486), allows for fast and secure attachment with an automatic locking mechanism. This is particularly useful for quickly switching between handheld, tripod, and gimbal configurations, making the cage compatible with DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, and RS 4 Pro stabilizers.

To ensure stable data transfer and cable management, an HDMI cable clamp is included to keep the cable in place during recording.
