Product Information
Full details
The SmallRig 5590 Advanced Cage Kit is designed for professional videographers and content creators using the Sony FX2 camera who need a robust, all-in-one solution for protection, expanded accessory mounting, and reliable power management. The kit's primary advantage is its highly modular design, which includes an Arca-Swiss quick-release system and a foldable V-mount battery plate, making it ideal for swift transitions between handheld, tripod, and gimbal setups. A notable caveat for new users is that the HDMI cable clamp requires the camera's HDMI port cover to be opened prior to installation to ensure a proper fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin setup, align the camera with the two-point locking pins on the base of the cage and tighten using the integrated Allen wrench. If you intend to use the HDMI cable clamp, ensure the camera's side port door is flipped open first to prevent damage to the connector. The cage is natively compatible with Sony FX2 and fits DJI RS 2, RS 3, and RS 4 series gimbals via the baseplate.
For care, wipe the aluminum alloy surfaces with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust or moisture after outdoor use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may strip the protective finish. Regularly check the tension of the NATO rail screws to ensure all modular attachments remain tight during travel.
