The Tilta Camera Cage for Sony FX5 Base Kit combines the modular three-point camera cage with NATO-mounted Xeno top and side handles, giving operators more stable carrying, low-angle control and accessory placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:1.5em 0;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.tilta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/21120218\/TA-T108-A.jpg\" alt=\"Tilta Sony FX5 Base Kit with Xeno top and side handles\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eThe Base Kit adds colour-matched NATO top and side handles to the modular FX5 cage.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Base Kit is the handling-focused middle ground in the range. Its full cage uses three camera contact points, can convert to a half cage by removing the lower screws and handle-side bracket, and maintains access to the FX5 controls, screen and original XLR handle. The reinforced chassis also includes the locking HDMI clamp, magnetic battery latch and the ARCA foundation shared by the other kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth included Xeno handles attach through NATO rails, so their position can be adjusted or the handles can be removed as the build changes. Each handle adds accessory mounting points, including 1\/4-inch-20 connections and a cold shoe, while the side handle’s textured grip supports steadier handheld operating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration omits rods and a power plate. You get a usable cage-and-handle package now while keeping the 15mm LWS baseplate, V-mount plate, lens control and matte box choices open for a later build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height:1.5;padding-left:1.5em;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eSony FX5 full camera cage included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eThree-point locking reduces unwanted twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eFull cage converts to half cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eNATO Xeno top handle included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eNATO Xeno side handle included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eARCA plate supports quick rig transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eTop plate supports original XLR handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eHDMI clamp helps secure the cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:1em;\"\u003eBlack and Titanium Gray variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the standalone Full Camera Cage, this kit adds both operating handles and their extra mounting points. It remains lighter and simpler than the Pro Kit because it does not include the adjustable 15mm LWS baseplate or rods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the Power Kit instead when extended V-mount power is the central need. That package replaces the Xeno handles with an adjustable ARCA receiver, Mini PD V-Mount Battery Plate and 100W right-angle USB-C cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Accessories and Related Gear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Base Kit leaves room to add lens-control, matte-box, monitor and support components according to the job. The cage’s NATO, cold shoe and threaded mounts provide several paths, but every accessory should be checked for exact mount type and physical clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tilta-full-camera-cage-for-sony-fx5\"\u003eTilta Full Camera Cage for Sony FX5\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/nucleus-auto-focus-adapter-e-to-pl-base-kit\"\u003eNucleus Auto Focus Adapter E to PL Base Kit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tilta-nucleus-nano-ii-wireless-lens-control-system\"\u003eTilta Nucleus Nano II Wireless Lens Control System\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the most balanced starting point for documentary, event and small-crew FX5 operators who want a protected camera plus top and side handling without paying for a rod system or power plate they may not use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Choose Something Else?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the standalone cage if you already own compatible handles.
