Full details
The Tilta Camera Cage for Sony FX6 Advanced Kit is designed for professional videographers and cinematographers who need to expand their rigging options and power management for the Sony FX6. This comprehensive kit offers a modular ecosystem that includes advanced battery distribution, multiple mounting points, and support for 15mm LWS rod systems, providing significantly more flexibility than the camera body alone. However, users should note that the battery plate requires a connection to the camera's DC input to function and that care must be taken when using the original side handle to avoid potential contact with the rosette mounts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, begin by installing the side arm and top plate to establish the structural cage. The V-mount battery plate locks securely into the FX6 rear battery chamber, but you must plug the provided power cable into the camera’s DC input to enable the plate's ports. For care, keep the aluminium surfaces clean with a dry cloth and ensure that all mounting screws are periodically tightened using a 3mm hex key. If you are using the original Sony side handle, perform a test rotation before mounting the camera to ensure the rosette mount on the baseplate does not obstruct the handle's movement. If contact occurs, simply remove the rosette mount from the cage.
