Top 10 Accessories for
Sony FX6

This professionally curated base kit provides all the essentials needed for rigging a streamlined build. The base kits from Wooden Camera excel in providing essentials while keeping it compact and lightweight enough to use for handheld shoots. From newcomers to the FX6 to seasoned owners looking to create a simple run and gun rig, the Wooden Camera Sony FX6 Unified Accessory Kit (Base) is a great place to start.

Custom designed for the Sony FX6, the Wooden Camera Battery Slide Pro attaches directly to the camera without the need for additional rods on your rig. The design retains access to the battery compartment on the FX6 which allows the Sony BPU series battery to be installed, giving the user the ability to hot swap on the fly and keep their rig running for the whole shoot. Each Battery Slide Pro also features 3x D-Tap ports at battery voltage for accessory power and a digital fuse which cuts off accessory outputs should they exceed that voltage while leaving the camera powered. The Battery Slide pro is designed to keep your rig powered and protected.

Capable of achieving wide-angle to portrait-length images, the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens is a versatile and powerful lens that makes a great addition to any FX6 rig. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, users can achieve enhanced performance in low-light environments and exercise greater control over the depth of field. At a fairly low price point, this lens is a great choice for newcomers to the FX6 or longtime owners who shoot a variety of subjects and styles.

At the crossroads of maximizing your rig’s power time and simultaneously minimizing its weight and footprint lies the tiny yet mighty Anton Bauer Titon Micro battery. Capable of powering rigs for hours, these sleek and lightweight power houses are a great way to optimize your FX6 rig. Weighing just around a pound each (depending on the model), the Titon Micro is also an excellent choice for remote shoots or areas where a power outlet may not be accessible.

The Wooden Camera Zip Box Pro is a high-quality matte box with a rugged, lightweight design. It blocks unwanted light, prevents glare, and protects your lens from debris — no tools or add-ons needed.

Twice as large as the FX6’s monitor, the SmallHD Cine7 offers a color accurate wide-gamut display, while maintaining a light and relatively small form. The Cine7’s size increase compared to the standard FX6 monitor is advantageous for easy viewing in a variety of environments. In addition to its sharp color and viewable size, the Cine7 also features camera control add-ons as well as Teradek RT and Bolt 4K integration! Paired with the next item in our list, this monitor becomes an obvious choice for the FX6.

There are many different ways you can mount an external monitor to the camera (including an Ultra Arm from Wooden Camera) but with respect to the limited space for mounting, the dynamic Multi-Interface Shoe on the top of the handle provides a great place for a monitor - if you’re not using it for Sony wireless microphone systems. If that hot shoe is occupied by another accessory, Wooden Camera also has brand-new cold shoe accessories that would provide a perfect mounting point offset from the camera/top plate.

An essential addition to any solo owner/operator’s rig, this single-rod follow focus is as compact as the FX6 itself, providing smooth focus pulls with a 1:1 ratio on all lens types.

Whether you’re considering upgrading to match your new FX6 or you’re interested in investing in a tripod that will stand by you (literally) for years, the Sachtler Aktiv6 Flowtech75 MS Tripod System is a solid choice. If you plan on keeping your FX6 for the foreseeable future, then pairing it with a tripod that will last just as long is imperative. Though more expensive than some other tripods, this reliable system makes up for its higher price tag through exceptional performance. Users can utilize smooth pans and tilts for fluid and professional shots alongside features like the SpeedSwap™ system for quick transitions from tripod to slider.

It may seem like a simple addition, but any filmmaker knows the value of a good memory card. The Sony 160GB CFexpress Type A TOUGH Memory Card sets itself apart by offering incredibly fast read and write speeds, allowing you to record in higher resolutions and bit-rates. Resistant to falls up to 15ft, high temperatures, X-rays and more, this memory card lives up to the ‘TOUGH’ part of its name. The price tag may seem high but for the features, storage and peace of mind this tank of a memory card provides, it’s well worth it.
