The Sony FX2 is a compact hybrid powerhouse in Sony’s Cinema Line, designed for photographers, filmmakers, and creators who need professional performance in a lightweight body. Here are the highlights of the Sony FX2:
- Featuring a 33MP full-frame back-illuminated sensor, the FX2 captures stunning 4K up to 60fps in 10-bit 4:2:2 with over 15 stops of dynamic range.
- Dual Base ISO (800/4000) ensures clean results in both bright- and low-light environments, while advanced autofocus with subject recognition, 5-axis stabilization, and a tiltable OLED EVF make it as versatile as it is powerful.
- With continuous recording, built-in cooling, and S-Cinetone color science straight out of the camera, the FX2 delivers beautiful results on productions of any type.
Even with all these features, the FX2 functions best when built into a complete shooting system. The right accessories can expand its flexibility, improve ergonomics, and streamline your workflow, helping you get the most out of this camera. We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 accessories for the FX2, check them out!
1. Wooden Camera Systems and Cages
Your choice of our Cage Systems and cages should boil down to how you use the camera. Is this your main camera for the shoot that needs all the accessories? Go with Elite or Core Cage System. Is this a B-Cam or slimmed photography setup that will only need a couple of mounting points? You should explore our Full Cage or Half Cage options.
Each of our accessories provides much-needed mounting points for additional accessories, and our Elite and Core Cage Systems include a Mini Top Handle for easy camera maneuverability.
This table breaks down the differences in each option.
2. Ace 750
This lightweight, zero-delay wireless video system transmits a sharp 4K signal up to 750 feet, giving your team the freedom to work untethered without sacrificing image quality. Mounted to the FX2 using our Top Plate or Cage L-Bracket, the Ace 750 integrates cleanly into your rig without adding bulk. With no SDI output on the FX2, the HDMI-only Ace 750 provides zero-delay transmission technology while staying within budget.
3. Wooden Camera Battery Slide with Dummy Battery Cable
The Sony FX2 is powerful and compact, but its small NP-FZ100 batteries can limit longer shoots. By replacing the camera’s internal battery with a Wooden Camera Battery Slide and Dummy Battery Cable, you can power the FX2 from a V-Mount or Gold Mount battery mounted on the Battery Slide. The sliding design not only provides extended runtime but also lets you adjust the battery’s position to balance your rig, ideal for shoulder-mounted or handheld builds. Many cinema batteries also feature D-Tap or USB outputs, meaning you can power accessories like monitors, wireless transmitters, and follow focus systems from a single source. With more power, better balance, and fewer battery swaps, this accessory keeps your FX2 production-ready all day long.

Its unique aktiv head design allows for quick leveling without the need to bend down, while the carbon fiber flowtech legs offer lightweight strength and rapid setup on any terrain. For FX2 users, this means faster transitions between handheld, tripod, and gimbal shots, all while maintaining precise control for smooth pans and tilts.

Its portability ensures the FX2 remains nimble, while still giving you the precision needed for cinematic productions. For filmmakers who want reliability and clarity in a small package, the Indie 5 is an ideal on-camera monitor.
6. Monitor Hinge
Mounting a monitor is just as important as choosing one, and the Wooden Camera Monitor Hinge (3/8"-16) is designed to integrate seamlessly with the FX2. Attaching directly to the Wooden Camera Top Plate, the hinge provides a sturdy, adjustable mounting point for monitors like the Indie 5. Its strong locking mechanism prevents sagging, while the tilt adjustment allows you to quickly set the perfect viewing angle, whether you’re shooting handheld, low to the ground, or off to the side.

Lightweight yet durable, it clamps directly onto the front of your lens, keeping your rig streamlined while still accommodating up to three 4x5.65" filters. Whether you’re shaping light with ND, diffusion, or creative filters, the Zip Box Pro gives you the control of a matte box in a compact, travel-friendly form.

Multiple receiver options on the FX2 cage (1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and dual 1/4"-20) can be fixed or rotated 360°, letting you customize strap placement for perfect balance and comfort. The included bungee shoulder strap and padded shoulder pad provide added security and ergonomics during transport, while the pressure-release clip prevents accidental disconnections.
