The Sony FX5 NATO Top Plate makes every shoot easier. Mounting securely to the top of your FX5 and with a removeable filler piece, you have access to a wide range of rigging options.
Filmmaking is already hard enough, why not make rigging easy? The Sony FX5 NATO Top Plate gives you everything you need to build a complex camera rig without supersizing your Sony. Mount from a range of industry standards: from your classic bolt-on threads to a built-in NATO rail. And if you need to access the EVF mount or hot shoe? You can take a chunk out of the Top Plate, without taking a chunk out of your shooting schedule.
Top Performance
The FX5 has the potential of a VENICE in the body of an FX3 - a winning combination. If you want to make the most of that power, then the NATO Top Plate gives you everything you need to gear it out. Mount accessories from a range of mounting threads: there are your classic 1/4" and 3/8" anti-twist screws, as well as some QD sockets (including one offset to match our Right Side Plate), M4 threads and a Cold Shoe mount with built-in safety catch. Would you believe us if we said it doesn't even stop there?
Quick-Release Convenience
If you're not fond of bolt-on accessories, why not make things easier? The "NATO" in "NATO Top Plate" is thanks to a built-in quick-release rail, with safety stops at either end - as well as a line of mounting threads. We've also added a magnet to help you center our new Create Top Handle, meaning no more guesswork as to whether your rig is balanced.
All Killer, Some Filler
Of course, if you want to make rigging even easier, you can give yourself more real-estate with our removeable Top Plate Filler. Clip it into place and install it with a few turns of a Hex Key, and give yourself access to even more screw threads - with the trade-off that you can't access the FX5 shoe mount.
Rigid Rigging
If your rig is insecure, your team tends to be insecure, too. The NATO Top Plate keeps things sturdy: mounting via three screws directly to the FX5's body. Once bolted in place, the Top Plate is rock-solid and ready for you to build out with all manner of accessories. Our aerospace-grade aluminum means that this Top Plate will stay set-ready through any rough treatment.
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.
Compatibility
The Sony FX5 NATO Top Plate is designed to fit the FX5 only: with mounting screws matching the camera body. It features a removeable filler piece that can be unscrewed to access the multifunction shoe and EVF mount. The Top Plate cannot be used when the Sony FX5 XLR handle is mounted.
