SmallRig 4183B Camera Cage for Sony FX30 and FX3

Protect and mount a variety of accessories onto your Sony FX3 or FX30 camera with this lightweight 4183B Camera Cage from SmallRig. This formfitting aluminum cage maintains access to the camera's controls and features a variety of mounting options. The 4183B version of the cage features an HDMI cable clamp constructed of PC and fiber for a lighter form factor. The camera mounts onto the cage using 1/4"-20 screws on the bottom and the side to prevent twisting, and rubber padding on the base protects the camera.

In addition to a shoe mount, a removable NATO rail, and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 accessory threads, the cage features ARRI-style accessory mounts for preventing accessories from twisting when mounted on the cage. The cage also features an integrated Arca-style base that allows you to use standard Arca-style tripod heads and gimbal mounts. There are strap slots on either side of the cage to add a camera strap. A built-in screwdriver on the bottom allows you to secure the camera screws.

The included NATO rail must be removed for use with the original Sony XLR handle.

SmallRig Cage for Sony FX30 and FX3 Reviews

So Close To Being A Perfect Rig

By Aypawn
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-05

All Around It's A Really Good Cage And Rig Option, However, The Screen Holder Is Cheap, Plastic And Off Center From The Factory. I Ended Up Taking The Screen Holder Apart To See Why It Was Off Center, And The Riser Part Is Not Even From The Factory. It's Off By Just A Bit And It Ends Up Bending The Screen. I Also Want To Warn You DO NOT UNLOCK THE THE V-MOUNT TILT LEVER WHEN YOUR SCREEN IS ON THE HOLDER! If You Do So It Will Take All Of The Weight Of The V-mount Battery And Transer It To The Screen. I Know I Compained A Lot About The Screen Holder, But I Highly Recommend The Rest Of The Cage. I Use A Monitor 99% Of The Time So I'm Just Going To Throw Away The Screen Holder, It's Not Worth The Hassle.
