SmallRig HawkLock Quick Release Half Cage for Sony FX3 FX30

The SmallRig HawkLock Quick Release Half Cage 4772 is expertly crafted for the Sony FX3 and FX30 cameras. This innovative half cage is designed to maintain the original handgrip feeling while providing essential protection. Its stylish gunmetal gray finish not only enhances the aesthetics but also ensures a lightweight solution that does not interfere with the camera's buttons, card slots, battery compartment, or flipping screen. This design significantly enhances shooting safety and overall experience.

One of the standout features of this half cage is its HawkLock Quick Release Structure Patent. The modular design includes a removable NATO rail and a one-button stable self-locking mechanism that allows for smooth sliding. This feature improves disassembly and assembly efficiency, making it a breeze to switch setups. It is highly recommended to pair this cage with other HawkLock ecological accessories such as the SmallRig Top Handle 4483 and Side Handle 4485 for an optimized shooting experience.

Security is paramount in any filming scenario, and this half cage excels in that regard. It secures the camera using four 1/4in-20 screws, effectively preventing camera deflection, video lens shake, and accidental drops during shooting. Additionally, a built-in silicone gasket protects the camera from scratches. Weighing only 3.6 ounces (102 grams), this cage is incredibly lightweight and portable, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go filmmakers.

Versatility is another key aspect of the SmallRig HawkLock Quick Release Half Cage. It features multiple mounting points, including a 1/4in-20 threaded hole, a 1/4in-20 locating hole, and a 3/8in-16 locating hole for ARRI. This allows for the expansion of accessories such as the SmallRig Magic Arm 2070, Microphone 3468, and LED Video Light 3286B, enabling a personalized expansion experience for professional creation.

Moreover, the cage comes with a built-in Quick Release plate for Arca-Type at the bottom, making it compatible with DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, and RS 4 Pro gimbals or tripods. This feature allows for quick transitions between handheld, stabilizer, and tripod setups, adapting effortlessly to different video styles and improving shooting efficiency.

It is important to note that when using the original XLR handle, the top NATO rail should be removed. Additionally, while the cage is compatible with various hot shoe accessories like the Sony ECM-M1 microphone and HVL-F32M flash, some accessories such as the Sony ECM-W3/W3S are not compatible. This attention to detail ensures that users can maximize their filming capabilities while enjoying the benefits of this exceptional half cage.
