Tilta Camera Cage for Sony FX5 Pro Kit - Black

Build a rod-ready Sony FX5 camera rig from one matched package. The Tilta Camera Cage for Sony FX5 Pro Kit combines the modular three-point camera cage, Xeno NATO top and side handles, an adjustable ARCA 15mm LWS baseplate and two 200mm rods for lens and support accessories.

Product Details

Product Overview

This is the most complete mechanical rigging package in the launch group. The body-specific cage locks to the Sony FX5 at three points and can be reduced to a half-cage configuration when weight matters. Threaded mounts, locating points, cold shoes and NATO rails support monitors, audio accessories and compact control hardware while preserving access to the camera’s operating controls.

The Xeno top handle improves low-angle carrying and creates a convenient monitor-mounting position. The NATO side handle adds a textured second grip with height adjustment. Both handles can be removed when a tripod, gimbal or shoulder configuration needs a cleaner profile.

Under the camera, the height-adjustable baseplate is designed to maintain the 85mm LWS relationship between the 15mm rods and lens axis across different camera heights. The included 200mm rods create a starting rail for compatible matte boxes, lens motors, supports and shoulder-rig components.

How It Compares

The Pro Kit is the right choice when rod-mounted lens accessories are already part of the production plan. It costs more and weighs more than the Full Cage or Base Kit, but it avoids sourcing a separate adjustable baseplate, rods and handles.

The Power Kit is a different solution rather than a larger Pro package. It supplies extended V-mount power but omits the Xeno handles, 15mm LWS baseplate and rods included here.

Compatible Accessories and Related Gear

Use the included 15mm rods for compatible matte boxes, lens-control motors, lens supports and shoulder-rig hardware. NATO and cold-shoe positions can carry a monitor or wireless receiver, subject to each accessory’s mounting pattern, weight and clearance.

• Tilta Nucleus Nano II Wireless Lens Control System
• Tilta Lightweight Shoulder Rig

Who Is This For?

The Pro Kit is aimed at cinema, commercial and documentary crews building an FX5 around follow focus, matte box, lens support or shoulder hardware. It is also efficient for owners starting without any compatible cage handles or 15mm LWS components.

Who Should Choose Something Else?

Choose the Base Kit when top and side handling are enough and rod accessories are not planned. Choose the Power Kit when the highest priority is a compact V-mount power path behind the camera rather than a full 15mm LWS build.

Specifications

FAQ

What makes this the Pro Kit?

The package combines the FX5 cage and both Xeno handles with an adjustable 15mm LWS baseplate and two 200mm rods, creating a rod-ready rig from one kit.

What can mount on the included 15mm rods?

Compatible lens motors, matte boxes, lens supports, shoulder pads and other 15mm LWS accessories can use the rails. Check the accessory’s rod spacing, height and clearance before purchase.

Why is the baseplate height adjustable?

Height adjustment helps align the rods to the 85mm LWS lens-axis standard across different camera and plate heights, which is important for many rod-mounted lens accessories.

Can the Pro Kit move between tripod and gimbal work?

The ARCA interfaces are designed to speed support changes and provide gimbal centre-positioning references. The complete rig may need to be stripped down to meet a gimbal’s payload and clearance limits.

Does the Pro Kit include power or a battery plate?

No. It is a mechanical cage, handling and 15mm rod package. The Sony FX5 Power Kit is the option that includes Tilta’s Mini PD V-Mount Battery Plate and power cable.
