Arm your camera with the Tilta Camera Cage for Sony FX6 Basic Kit.
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.
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.
It¡¯s wonderfully designed. It¡¯s solid and it¡¯s lightweight. Kudos whoever designed this because it¡¯s thoughtful and seamless and incredibly functional, especially the ARRI rosettes. It¡¯s near perfect with one huge trade off. The bottom.
Tilta needs to ditch their dovetail standard and go with ARRRI dovetail Or at least another option for the baseplate. Sure you can ADD an ARRI dovetail baseplate receiver, but that defeats the purpose of not having to add additional adapters. But I don¡¯t know any professional shoot that uses Tilta standard dovetails. This is clearly a proprietary money siphoning scheme that serves no one.
So I hope Tilta offers another option or ditches their standard because it sucks. But this cage is great otherwise!
Tilta¡¯s build quality is excellent considering the price. Glad to have a well designed kit for my new FX6 that is not to overbuilt or heavy.
Should see many quality hours of use, including documenting operations on wildfires as a Public Information Officer.
