The documentary dock has an ergonomic design and features an adjustable shoulder pad and front block control.

Easy to Attach/Detach Mechanism
The build-up kit features an easy to attach/detach mechanism that allows you to use the PMW-F55/F5 as a full shoulder camera or in the original style, giving you more flexibility in your style of shooting.
Support of Wireless Audio Receiver
The build-up kit includes an audio section and input/output section at the rear side, offering support for wireless audio, with a familiar design common to main broadcast camcorders.
Lens Support
Using standard PL lenses or common B4 2/3-inch broadcast lenses with the LA-FZB1 or LA-FZB2 will suit a wide variety of applications.

When using the LA-FZB2, the original handle supplied with the camera needs to be used.
Supplied Top Handle
The top handle comes with a microphone holder and viewfinder cable protection. It also provides cover for the fan input on the top of the body to protect against rain or dust. The handle is also able to attach the CBK-WA100 Wireless Adaptor (not included) without needing a USB connection.
