Wooden Camera announced a new professional cage and accessory collection for the Sony FX5, giving filmmakers a modular foundation to build their cameras to suit their individual production needs. Designed to harmonize with the FX5’s form factor, the new lineup expands on mounts, lens adapters, power management, and rapid setup changes, providing solutions for handheld, cinema, and gimbal workflows.
At the heart of this ecosystem is a modular cage system designed to allow operators to flexibly configure the Sony FX5 without being tied to a specific camera setup. The slim cage incorporates modular dovetails, allowing users to switch between bridge plates and gimbals without tools, while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for handheld and mobile setups.
Works Well with Gimbals
For gimbal workflows, the lineup includes the “13mm Bolt-On ARCA – DJI RS Quick Release Plate,” enabling quick and reliable setup switching. The slim-profile plate bolts directly onto the camera cage and integrates with DJI RS series gimbal systems, allowing operators to quickly switch between handheld, gimbal, and other support setups without reassembling the camera.
Furthermore, the system offers expanded lens and accessory compatibility for professional cinema workflows. Using Wooden Camera’s E-mount to PL-mount and E-mount to LPL-mount adapters, FX5 users can incorporate PL and LPL cinema lenses. Additionally, dedicated lens support ensures greater stability even with large lens configurations in gimbal and cinema setups.
Flexible power options further expand the FX5 platform’s capabilities. Wooden Camera’s battery slide solution supports both Gold mount and V-mount, extending operating time while maintaining the camera’s simple configuration. The adjustable mount allows operators to freely position the battery to suit their lenses, monitors, and wireless equipment.
For users looking to expand their setup, the Wooden Camera Sony FX5 cage supports a wide range of configurations, from lightweight half-cages to full-fledged cinema rigs combined with the Wooden Camera Elite Cage System. Additional mounting options provide space for monitors, wireless systems, articulated arms, lens motors, and other production accessories.
Utilizing aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum and Type III hard anodizing, the FX5 accessories withstand the demanding requirements of professional production environments while providing a unified foundation for evolving camera configurations.
