FAQs

Does this cage fit other Sony camera models?

This cage is specifically designed for the Sony FX3. While some dimensions might be similar, it's best used with the intended model for optimal fit and port access.

How do I attach accessories like a microphone or monitor?

Accessories can be attached to the numerous 1/4" and 3/8" threaded holes, NATO rails, or the cold shoe mounts located on the cage and the top handle.

Can the top handle be moved to the other side of the cage?

Yes, the top handle is mounted via a NATO rail and can slide onto either the left or right side NATO rail of the cage.

What is the purpose of Arri Locator Pins?

Arri Locator Pins are small pins that help prevent accessories from twisting or shifting once mounted, ensuring a more stable setup.

Is it possible to remove the side plates of the cage?

Yes, the cage features a modular design, allowing for the removal of side plates if desired, to reduce weight or improve access to certain camera ports.

What protocols does the Start/Stop button support?

The Start/Stop button supports both Sony LANC and Panasonic protocols, making it compatible with a wide range of cameras.

Troubleshooting

Camera is not stable in the cage

Ensure the 1/4" mounting screw is fully tightened and that the camera is seated flush against the base of the cage.

Start/Stop button on the handle is not working

Verify that the handle is securely attached to the NATO rail. Ensure your camera supports either Sony LANC or Panasonic protocols and that the camera's recording settings are configured correctly.

Accessory mounts feel loose

Use the included Hex tools to tighten the 1/4" or 3/8" mounting screws on the cage or handle. Do not overtighten.

HDMI cable clamp is difficult to attach

Loosen the clamp slightly, position it over the HDMI port and cable, then gently tighten. Ensure the cable is not excessively thick.
