The $20 Universal Accessory For SONY FX6, a7S III and More! (Do You NEED A Full Cage??)

Recently, I picked up a $20 accessory which has me questioning whether I really need a camera cage for my Sony FX6. In this video, I take you through my thought process on why I’m hesitant on buying a camera cage for the FX6 and why this little accessory might be a cool little solution in the meantime.

I love dual mounting or arri locating pins, you always end up with problems when it’s a single screw slowly undoing! Loving the A cam lighting!

[@MattQuattro]

Thanks Isaac, and agree with you - locking pins are really helpful. But on the FX6 handle, I haven’t had too much trouble with just a standard 1/4 inch thread and my monitor! Also had to change my setup because the desk shifted haha

Hey Matt - I notice you have your Tilta cae mounted vertically. Wondering how you managed that? I have the same cage and the nub rails mount seems to make it impossible. Trying to avoid buying a cage! Unless I'm mistaken and that's not the generic v mount, its a really similar looking Sony specific tilta vmount?

[@MattQuattro]

Hi Gareth, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I don't have a Tilta cage, just a v-mount battery plate on the FX6. For vertical, I usually use my a7S with a SmallRig cage because it has a 3/8" mounting point on the side. Hope that helps!

Nice video. Merci beaucoup.

Love and hate cages. All in one emotion 😛

[@MattQuattro]

Haha you’ve just got to find the rig that works for you and I’ve realised that’s not always a cage!
