The integrated Arca-Swiss quick release plate ensures smooth transitions between tripod and handheld shooting. For added functionality, the SmallRig F40 Mini Follow Focus offers precise focus control with adjustable A/B stops, while the Mini Box Lite supports multiple filters for enhanced image quality. These accessories create a versatile and efficient setup for filmmakers seeking greater control and flexibility.
This Handheld Camera Cage Kit from SmallRig equips your Sony FX30 or FX3 with a cage, two different-sized NATO rails, and tools to create a comfortable handheld rig to best suit your needs. An XLR extension component is compatible with the separately available Sony audio handle to incorporate different audio sources into your loadout. Multiple 1/4"-20 and ARRI anti-twist 3/8"-16 threads around the cage can attach articulating arms or even affix your camera in a vertical orientation, all while maintaining access to the camera's buttons and ports.
A shoe mount on the cage can accept an external monitor or shotgun microphone. You can also insert the included hand strap into the dedicated slots on the cage to provide another ergonomic handgrip. Securing your camera is a breeze, thanks to the three 1/4"-20 screws. A built-in Arca-type plate can slide the cage-equipped camera onto a compatible tripod or stabilizer.
Add an even lighter and more compact matte box to your rig with the Mini Matte Box Lite from SmallRig. The clamp-on matte box weighs only 3.8 oz and fits small mirrorless or DSLR cameras. It is made from durable but lightweight carbon fiber material, as well as plastic and aluminum components. It accepts multiple 4 x 5.65" filters and comes with one filter tray and four adapter rings to attach the matte box to a variety of lenses. The maximum load capacity of the matte box is 2.2 lb.
The included carbon fiber top flag helps block veiling glare or bright reflections from striking your lens, and it can be folded down to cover the front of the matte box and provide protection to the front of your lens. The matte box features a 95mm diameter opening, and the included 67, 72, 77, and 82mm threaded adapter rings allow you to use the matte box with lenses of different sizes and diameters. A separately available adapter ring kit can be used for additional lens sizes, and it also accepts circular filters up to a 92.5mm diameter.
