The Elite Cage System for Sony FX5 is a complete cinema-focused camera support system designed for filmmakers who want to build out the FX5 without giving up the flexibility to scale their rig back down when needed. Combining the three-piece FX5 cage with an Ultra Handle, lens support, 15mm LWS rod support, and professional mounting hardware, the Elite system provides a complete foundation for demanding production environments.

The Top Plate, Half Cage, and Cage Grip create a slim and modular foundation with expanded mounting options, while the included Ultra Handle provides a substantial handheld control point with additional mounting options for accessories. HDMI and Dual USB-C Support Clamps help secure the camera’s connections, while the integrated Cold Shoe and additional cage mounting points provide flexible options for monitors, wireless systems, lights, and other production accessories. A Round Bubble Level provides a quick visual reference for leveling the camera.

The included ARCA Dovetail and 15mm LWS ARCA Baseplate establish a lens-centered cinema configuration with 15mm LWS support. The ARCA Dovetail provides a secure interface between the camera cage and support system while allowing the FX5 to transition between configurations without rebuilding the camera. The included 15mm rods and Safety Dovetail with ARCA further expand the system for lens support and accessory mounting.

Designed as an investment in a broader camera system, the Elite Cage System gives users professional cinema functionality from the start while maintaining the modularity to adapt the FX5 for smaller, lighter configurations. Components such as the Ultra Handle, 15mm support hardware, and ARCA mounting system can also carry forward into future camera builds, extending the value of the system beyond a single camera. The Half Cage is also compatible with the optional Rear Cage Bracket for Sony FX5, providing an additional option for expanding the system.
