Tilta Full Camera Cage for Sony FX3/FX30 V2 - Black Tilta

Podrobný popis

The Tilta Full Camera Cage for Sony FX3/FX30 V2 is the full cage on its own — no handles and no baseplate. It is machined exactly for the Sony FX3 and FX30 bodies, holds them with three screws and leaves the ports, the recording (tally) lamp and the flip-out screen clear. On top it carries a NATO rail, two cold shoe receivers and 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads; underneath, a plate in the Arca-Swiss standard. Finish: Black.

The full cage is the foundation of the whole Tilta family for the Sony FX3 and FX30 — and the only version sold on its own: no handles, no baseplate and no rods. The box holds the cage, the HDMI cable clamp and two Allen keys, nothing else. It is the cheapest way into the family and the right choice when you already have handles or rods, or when the rig should stay as small as possible. The three kits built around the same cage — TA-T16-A, TA-T16-B and TA-T16-C — are in the picker under the price.

What is in the box of the cage alone

The box holds the full cage for the Sony FX3 and FX30, the HDMI cable clamp for the same bodies and two Allen keys for assembly — and nothing else. The Tilta Xeno top handle, the powered side handle, the universal 15mm LWS baseplate and the 15mm rods are not in this package; the cage is prepared for them, but they are bought separately or taken straight away in one of the three kits. The cage on its own still does everything it does in the kits: three mounting screws, NATO rail and cold shoe on top, threads on the sides and Arca-Swiss underneath.

A cage made to measure — ports, tally and screen stay accessible

The cage is machined exactly for the Sony FX3 and FX30 bodies, so it covers nothing you need while shooting: not the side connectors, not the recording (tally) lamp, not the NP-FZ100 battery compartment and not the flip-out screen, which on these bodies opens to the side. The camera controls stay within reach and the cage does not have to come off to change the battery or the memory card.

Everywhere you can screw something on

The top plate carries a NATO rail for handles, two cold shoe receivers and 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads with locating points that keep accessories from turning. On the sides there are further threads and points for a single 15mm rod holder, at the back a cable clamp tightened with a thumb screw and, in two places, wrist strap ports.

Arca-Swiss underneath — moving to tripod and gimbal

The bottom plate of the cage is made to the Arca-Swiss standard, so the camera moves between tripod head and gimbal without any screwing. The manufacturer points out that it follows DJI’s Arca format: with the DJI Ronin series heads the fit is verified, with other makers it is not guaranteed. Moving between tripod, gimbal and hand is therefore a matter of one click.

Four versions of the same cage — how they differ

The cage is the same in all four versions — only what the manufacturer packs with it differs.

Full cage (TA-T16-FCC): the cage on its own, the HDMI cable clamp and two Allen keys. No handles, no baseplate and no rods.

Basic Kit (TA-T16-A): cage, Tilta Xeno top handle, universal 15mm LWS baseplate with Type III adapter and two 15mm rods. No side handle.

Lightweight Kit (TA-T16-B): cage and powered side handle with Run/Stop control. The lightest kit — no top handle, no baseplate and no rods.

Pro Kit (TA-T16-C): both together — cage, Xeno top handle, baseplate with adapter, two 15mm rods, powered side handle with Run/Stop and cable.

Compatibility

The cage is intended for the Sony FX3 (ILME-FX3) and Sony FX30 (ILME-FX30) bodies. Camera and lens are not included.

The top module of the cage can be removed to fit the original Sony XLR handle (XLR-H1), which Sony supplies with the FX3 and with the FX30 in the version with the XLR handle.

The bottom plate of the cage and the baseplate both follow DJI’s Arca format. Compatibility with DJI Ronin series gimbals is verified; for other standards the manufacturer does not guarantee it.

What to watch out for

Handles, baseplate and 15mm rods are not included — the cage on its own is the cheapest way into the family, and the kits are TA-T16-A, TA-T16-B and TA-T16-C.

A monitor mount is not included.

The manufacturer points out that the cage is compatible with the Tilta Modular 15mm LWS Baseplate Type III, and not with the Type IV baseplate.

For this cage the manufacturer lists "9 × 6 × 3.5 in" in its table, more than for the eight-piece Pro Kit ("7 × 6 × 3.5 in"). That is the packaging size, not the product size, which is why we do not list it in the specification.
