The Core Cage System for Sony FX5 is a lightweight hybrid camera support system designed for creators and filmmakers who need the flexibility to move between gimbal and cinema configurations. The three-piece FX5 cage combines the Top Plate, Half Cage, and Cage Grip with a Mini Top Handle to provide a compact camera build with expanded mounting options and comfortable handheld operation.

Built around a low-profile 13mm Bolt-On ARCA Assembly and ARCA Adapter Plate, the system is ready to transition to DJI RS gimbals while maintaining a streamlined configuration. The included HDMI and Dual USB-C Support Clamps help secure the camera’s connections, while the integrated Cold Shoe and additional cage mounting points provide options for monitors, microphones, lights, wireless accessories, and other production equipment. A Round Bubble Level provides a quick visual reference for leveling the camera.

When a more traditional cinema configuration is required, the included ARCA Adapter Plate and a 15mm LWS ARCA Baseplate allow the FX5 to transition from a gimbal-ready setup into a lens-centered 15mm LWS configuration. The Baseplate provides lightweight 15mm rod support at the correct lens height while maintaining a quick-release workflow, allowing the camera to adapt to more demanding lens and accessory configurations.

The Core Cage System is designed to bridge the gap between compact content creation and professional cinema production, giving users a lightweight starting point that can quickly adapt as their shooting requirements change. The Half Cage is also compatible with the optional Rear Cage Bracket for Sony FX5 for users looking to expand their rear accessory mounting options.
