Key Features
【Compatible with Sony FX3 FX30】 Precise CNC machined aluminum alloy half camera cage weighs only 3.7oz/106g yet is highly durable. With a shorter baseplate design that omits the battery compartment, it maintains a slim and formfitting profile. It also keeps buttons, ports, and the screen fully accessible. Compatible with Sony XLR-H1 original XLR Top Handle Unit
【4 Point Secure Locking】 The camera is secured with 4 screws, and a raised edge prevents deflection and shaky video footage. A nonslip rubber pad can protect the camera from scratches, and a screwdriver attached under the cage helps you tighten the screws with ease. (please put all screws in place without tightening them completely. Then, tighten them evenly for proper alignment and secure fastening)
【Arca Type Quick Switching】 The baseplate with anti drop anchored design is compatible with DJI RS 2 RSC 2 RS 3 RS 3 Pro gimbals and any Arca type tripod head, allowing you to smoothly slide the camera into a tripod or a handheld gimbal stabilizer for different video styles. It can directly mount on the gimbals without removing the quick release baseplate, saving you valuable time
【NATO Rail Fast Connection】 The included external 2.4" (60mm) NATO rail can be installed on the top of the FX3/FX30 camera body for mounting a series of NEEWER accessories, including PG005/CA008/CA018 Top Handles, MA005 Monitor Mount, UA011 Magic Arm, and more. A built in side NATO rail for CA017H side handle grip, compatible with SmallRig top handle side handle and other NATO type accessories
【Multiple Mounting Points】 Multiple mounting points connect various accessories or mount the camera on a tripod in vertical and horizontal directions: 1/4" threads for UA012/ST15/ST25C Magic Arms, a 3/8" thread with ARRI locating holes for UA010 Monitor Mount, a cold shoe for CM14 PRO Microphone and PL81LED light.
