Diamonds may be made under pressure, but a stressed-out camera team rarely results in diamonds. Take that pressure off with our Sony FX5 Expert Kit, featuring seamless dual quick-release and a huge range of accessory mounting options. Built to the highest standards of quality, the Expert Kit is professional, reliable and versatile - just like the FX5.

Open UP Convenience
The Expert Kit includes our LeftField Mini baseplate: featuring our Open UP mechanism that is patented and beloved in equal measure. Open the catch halfway to slide back-and-forth on ARRI standard dovetails, then open it all the way to effortlessly lift it off the mount - switching setups in seconds.

High Standards
The LeftField system also sets the FX5 to the 15mm LWS standard height: the go-to setup for many industry accessories. Mount matte boxes, follow-focus and more from a consistent rod setup - to really put the "cinema" in "cinematographer".

Dual Quick-Release
At the end of a long shoot day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours fiddling with Hex Keys and screws. The Expert Kit comes apart in two distinct chunks: the FX5 cage, and the baseplate. You can release the camera cleanly by simply unlatching the Arca Receiver. This makes pack-down much easier, especially with a camera as compact as the FX5.

Clean Rigging
Of course, the main point of a cage is adding accessories to your rig - and in that regard, the FX5 Expert Kit spoils you for choice. Choose from your classic bolt-on mounts via 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads - each with anti-twist pin threads - or alternative mounts including MAP M4 points, QD sockets and integrated NATO rails. All safe, all secure, no compromise.

Get a Grip
The FX5 Expert Kit forms a complete Sony FX5 cage, giving you plenty of rigging real-estate without compromising on camera size. Our Right Side Plate gives you a pistol grip-style plate for comfortable handheld shooting, as well as a selection of 1/4" accessory mounts. On the other hand (literally), the NATO Wing Grip sits offset from the camera: making it easy to hold for handicam shots whilst also offering easy access to camera inputs. And of course, it is covered in those bolt-on and quick-release rigging options.

Seamless Shooting
Whatever the particulars of your camera setup, whether you are ninja-walking on a gimbal or running a full cine rig, the FX5 Base Kit is designed to be forgotten about. The cage maximizes access to the camera's buttons and inputs, with dedicated cutouts for dummy batteries, drop-in filter housings and cable management.

Worth It
Anyone left unsupervised with a power drill can put some holes in a lump of metal - so what sets the FX5 Advanced Kit apart? Aside from the fact that our plates are made from the kind of aluminum that they shoot into space, we also hard-anodize and precision-cut every single plate. The result? A quality you can feel through every second of shooting.

Part of the Sony FX5 System
The future is here: the Sony FX5 is the latest and greatest cinema camera, so make sure your camera has the cage it deserves. Bright Tangerine Sony FX5 accessories are all designed to the highest standard, so you always have the best camera rig for the job.
