SmallRig HawkLock Sony FX5 V-Mount Cage Kit 6779
SmallRig HawkLock Sony FX5 V-Mount Cage Kit 6779: The SmallRig HawkLock Sony FX5 V-Mount Cage Kit 6779 adds a folding V-Mount battery plate and Arca-Swiss plate to the handheld cage package for longer-running production builds.
Choose it when your Sony FX5 rig needs an included top handle, hand strap, and a reconfigurable rear battery mount for a standard V-Mount battery.
Product Details
Product Overview
This SmallRig FX5 cage kit combines the standard padded cage, NATO top handle, hand strap, HDMI cable clamp, and a folding V-Mount battery plate. The plate can sit at a 3-degree storage angle, lock at 90 degrees for operation, or open to 180 degrees for rear-display access and rig adjustments.
The included battery plate accepts a standard V-Mount battery, but no battery is included. The cage retains 1/4-20, ARRI 3/8-16, NATO, cold-shoe, and QD mounting, while its integrated Arca base supports the listed DJI RS-series gimbals when the complete Sony FX5 rig remains within payload and balance limits.
Key Features
- Sony FX5 cage with V-Mount plate
- Folding plate offers three working angles
- NATO top handle supports low angles
- Hand strap improves carrying security
- Integrated Arca base supports DJI RS
- Dedicated HDMI cable clamp included
How It Compares
Choose 6779 over 6778 when you want the V-Mount battery plate included and accept the extra size and weight. Choose 6778 when you already have a separate power solution or want the lighter handheld kit.
Compatible Accessories and Related Gear
The included plate accepts a standard V-Mount battery. The compact SmallRig VB99 SE Mini V-Mount Battery is a matching power-format option, while the NATO monitor mount can use the cage or handle rail.

- SmallRig VB99 SE Mini V-Mount Battery 4608
Who Is This For?
Sony FX5 operators building a longer-running handheld, tripod, or compact cinema rig who want the cage, top handle, hand strap, and V-Mount plate in one package.
Who Should Choose Something Else?
Choose 6778 if you do not need rear V-Mount battery support or want to keep the rig lighter. Choose 6776 if you only need a minimal cage foundation.

FAQ
Does SmallRig 6779 include a V-Mount battery?
No. The kit includes a folding V-Mount battery plate and an Arca-Swiss plate, but the battery itself must be purchased separately in the capacity your workflow requires.
How does the folding V-Mount plate adjust?
The plate can sit at a 3-degree storage angle, lock at 90 degrees for normal use, and open to 180 degrees to improve access to the camera’s rear display and rig controls.
Can the 6779 kit mount on DJI RS-series gimbals?
The cage’s integrated Arca base supports the listed DJI RS-series gimbals, but the complete rig must still stay within the gimbal’s payload and balance limits, especially with a battery installed.
What is the difference between SmallRig 6779 and 6778?
The 6779 adds a folding V-Mount battery plate and Arca-Swiss plate to the handheld kit. The 6778 omits those power-mount parts and is lighter and less expensive.
Which battery format fits the included plate?
The included plate accepts standard V-Mount batteries. Battery capacity, output ports, cable requirements, and total rig balance should be matched to your Sony FX5 power plan.
What handling parts are included with SmallRig 6779?
The kit includes a NATO top handle and hand strap in addition to the cage, HDMI clamp, NATO rail, V-Mount plate, and Arca-Swiss plate for a more complete rig foundation.
