SmallRig Cage Kit for Sonx FX2.

SmallRig has unveiled a new lineup of camera cages and cage kits built specifically for Sony’s recently released FX2 cinema camera. The new offerings include multiple configurations to suit a variety of shooting styles, whether you’re building a lightweight rig or a full-on production setup.

Built for Rigging Flexibility

At the core of the system is a robust full cage with generous mounting options. Like other recent SmallRig cages, it integrates a built-in HawkLock NATO rail, making it compatible with a wide range of HawkLock accessories—like side handles, top handles, and monitor mounts—for fast and toolless attachment.

Up top, the detachable NATO rail is compatible with Sony’s native XLR top handle, as well as SmallRig’s own rotating top handle. Around the cage, you’ll find a healthy mix of 1/4”-20 threads, 3/8”-16 ARRI locating holes, a cold shoe for mics or lights, and a QD socket for shoulder strap compatibility. A magnetic Allen key is tucked neatly into the base for quick tweaks in the field.

Switching between setups is also streamlined, thanks to a built-in Arca-Swiss quick release plate on the base. The plate is compatible with DJI’s most popular gimbals, including the RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3/RS 3 Pro, and the newer RS 4/RS 4 Pro.

For added peace of mind, SmallRig employs a dual-locking design to securely attach the FX2 to the cage. Despite the added protection, full access to the camera’s EVF, ports, and controls is preserved thanks to precise CNC-machined cutouts.
