The Multi-Functional Top Plate for Sony FX6 fits snugly around the FX6’s original top handle and supports our optional Top Handle for FX6 which can be adjusted for balance and includes a monitor mount for the FX6’s LCD Monitor Bracket.
The Top Plate also includes Dual 15mm LWS rod adapters which allow you to easily mount accessories via 15mm rods above your lens.
The Quick Release Baseplate for Sony FX6 also allows you to attach various accessories via 15mm LWS rods on either the front or back side of the baseplate.
The Dual Arri Rosettes allow for mounting additional accessories such as extended arms or handles for handheld shooting.
The Baseplate natively connects to our Tilta Standard Dovetails and can be adapted to Arri Standard via our Tilta Standard to Arri Standard Multi-Functional Baseplate.
A built-in lens adapter support bracket is also included on the front side of the plate.
The Side Arm for Sony FX6 offers even more protection and provides several 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 mounting points with threads for various locating pins to allow you to mount a variety of accessories.
The Side Arm also includes a reserved space for 3 reusable Camera Index Stickers for professional and clear labeling of your camera’s position in multi-camera environments.
The Wireless Video Mounting Bracket for Sony FX6 allows you to mount various Wireless Video Transmitters via a 90 degree 1/4″-20 threaded bracket. This allows for clean and convenient mounting of wireless video transmitters and other similar accessories.
The Battery Plate for Sony FX6 V-Mount Type I quickly mounts and locks into the battery chamber of the Sony FX6 and can be further secured by a connection to the Multi Functional Top Plate.
The Battery Plate features 2x 14.8V P-Tap ports, 1x 14.8V 2 Pin Lemo Port, and 1x 5V USB Port.
*Please Note the Battery Plate must be connected via the FX6’s DC port to provide power*
WARNING: The Rosette Mount on the Baseplate may need to be removed to provide additional clearance for the Sony FX6 Side Handle.
Please exercise caution when rotating the handle as to not scratch it against the cage and remove the Rosette Mount if needed.
The cage is great all around (i have the full vmount cage) but the top plate 1/4-20 and arri mounting points are completely randomly placed, so mounting a cheeseplate or nearly any rigging (that uses more that one mount point) is basically impossible. I’ve found work arounds to rigging the camera but it was definitely a hassle unfortunately, and required me to purchase additional mounting systems to get it to work.
Cage and battery plate adapter are fantastic and super well built. I was really excited about this kit and bought it immediately. 2 Issues though for me that made this purchase a no go and i sold it shortly after assembling it.
1. Theres a led battery indicator that stays on indefinitely once you plug in the battery so you need to remove your battery when not in use or it’ll drain your battery over time, even though its a trickle, its something i don’t want to have to deal with when prepping all my gear for a shoot, just another headache.
2, this kit does NOT come with the dovetail plate so in order to use the quick release mechanism you need to purchase that for an additional $160 making this kit too pricey for me, in my opinion that plate or some generic quick release plate should definitely be included as installing a standard Manfrotto plate on it felt janky and awkward. If these two issues would be addressed i would most certainly keep this kit and highly recommend it to everyone.
