Tilta Full Camera Cage for Sony FX5

Build a compact Sony FX5 camera rig without giving up the camera controls you use on set. The Tilta Full Camera Cage for Sony FX5 adds three-point locking, a modular full-to-half-cage design, ARCA quick release, NATO mounting and cable protection in a body-specific camera cage.

Product Details

Product Overview

This is the core cage in Tilta’s Sony FX5 rigging system. It locks to the camera at three points to resist twisting, yet the handle-side bracket can be removed with two lower screws when a lighter half-cage configuration is more practical. Reinforced corners add protection around the camera body without turning the rig into an oversized studio build.

Accessory mounting is spread across the top and sides through 1/4-inch-20 and 3/8-inch-16 threads, locating points, a cold shoe and a top NATO rail. The standalone top plate preserves support for the original Sony XLR handle, while the bi-directional ARCA plate supports fast transitions between compatible tripod and gimbal receivers.

Tilta also shapes the cage around native buttons, dials, the screen and battery area. A locking HDMI cable clamp helps reduce accidental cable movement, a magnetic battery latch adds security, and the chassis is designed to work with Tilta’s Nucleus Auto Focus Adapter without blocking the camera.

How It Compares

Choose this Full Camera Cage when you already own handles, rods, a baseplate or a power solution and want the lightest entry into the FX5 system. It includes the cage, matching ARCA plate, HDMI clamp and tool, but it does not add the handling, 15mm LWS or V-mount components found in the larger kits.

The Base Kit adds Xeno top and side handles. The Pro Kit goes further with both handles, an adjustable 15mm LWS baseplate and two rods. The Power Kit is the better starting point when extended V-mount power matters more than handles or a rod-supported lens build.

Compatible Accessories and Related Gear

The cage provides mounting points for monitors, lens-control hardware and compact matte boxes. For the cleanest fit, check each accessory’s mount and clearance against the FX5 screen, XLR handle, lens and cable path before ordering.

Who Is This For?

Sony FX5 owners who already have their preferred handles, baseplate and power hardware will get the most value here. It is also the logical choice for gimbal operators who want protection and mounting points without committing to a rod or battery-plate package.

Who Should Choose Something Else?

Choose the Base Kit if you need ready-to-use top and side handles. Choose the Pro Kit for 15mm LWS rods and adjustable optical height, or the Power Kit when an included V-mount plate and USB-C power cable are the main requirement.

Is this camera cage made for the Sony FX5?

Yes. Tilta designed the cage around the Sony FX5 body, including clearances for the camera’s controls, screen, battery area and original XLR top handle.

Can the FX5 cage be used as a half cage?

The cage provides 1/4-inch-20 and 3/8-inch-16 threads with locating points, a cold shoe, a top NATO rail and a bi-directional ARCA plate for compatible support systems.

Will the cage block the FX5 controls or screen?

The chassis is shaped to preserve access to the Sony FX5 buttons, dials and screen. Always check the clearance of any added monitor, handle, cable or lens accessory as the rig expands.

What is included with the Full Camera Cage?

The selected colour includes the FX5 full cage, a matching ARCA quick release plate, a matching HDMI cable clamp, and a combined slotted and Allen key.
