Full details
The SmallRig 5587 Full Camera Cage is designed specifically for Sony FX2 shooters who require a robust, professional-grade mounting solution to protect their camera while expanding its accessory capabilities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the cage, align the Sony FX2 camera body within the frame and tighten the 2-point locking screws securely. If you intend to use the HDMI cable clamp, ensure the camera's side port cover is fully opened first. To maintain the structural integrity of the aluminium alloy, periodically check the screws for tightness after heavy use. Keep the cage clean by wiping it with a microfiber cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals. When installing the cage on a tripod or gimbal, ensure the Arca-Swiss dovetail is centered correctly before locking the safety pin.
