Kondor Blue Sony FX3 Cage (Space Grey)

Protect and mount a variety of accessories onto your Sony FX3 camera while still keeping your camera small and lightweight with this Kondor Blue Sony FX3 Cage in a space grey finish. The cage provides protection for your camera from the rigors of the production day, as well as multiple accessory mounting points, including 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 with ARRI-style anti-twist divots. NATO rails are built into the removable side pieces of the cage, and the NATO rail on top of the cage can be removed, allowing you to use the Sony FX3 XLR top handle (not included).

In addition to the removable top NATO rail, the top of the cage features a cold shoe with a safety pin arrangement designed to prevent your cold shoe-mounted accessory from accidentally falling out. The bottom of the cage features a raised front that helps keep your camera from twisting in the cage, and an integrated Arca-Swiss plate makes it easy to mount your camera/cage directly on a tripod head with an Arca-Swiss QR mechanism.
