Sony FX6 Tripod & Handheld Rig V1

This Sony FX6 rig is a complete, professional cinema package engineered for high-end production environments. It is designed for maximum versatility and image quality, providing a robust and reliable core for commercials, documentaries, and narrative filmmaking.

Our A-Camera: The Sony FX6

As the lead camera in our cinematic arsenal, our Sony FX6 delivers unparalleled full-frame image quality and production versatility. It is engineered around a highly sensitive 10.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor and a BIONZ XR processor, capturing stunning 4K imagery with incredible detail and low noise. To handle this data, we utilize high-speed CFExpress Type A cards, ensuring reliable recording at the highest quality settings and enabling rapid footage transfers in post-production, which accelerates the entire workflow. A key feature for our workflow is its groundbreaking built-in electronic variable ND filter, allowing for precise exposure control without impacting depth of field. With a dual base ISO of 800 and 12,800 and over 15 stops of dynamic range, the FX6 excels in any lighting environment, from bright exteriors to dimly lit scenes. Supported by our agile Sony FX3 and FX30 cameras for multi-cam setups and gimbal work, the FX6 stands as our A-camera, providing the professional connectivity, advanced autofocus, and superior performance demanded by high-end commercials, documentaries, and narrative projects.

Integrated Rig Components

The camera is built into a production-ready rig with the following professional-grade components:

• Chassis & Support: The SONY FX6 is secured in the TILTA ADVANCED KIT, providing protection and extensive mounting options. The foundation is supported by NICEYRIG 16-INCH 15mm RODS for accessory mounting.
• Power Solution: A SMALLRIG V Mount Battery VB99 SE (99Wh / 6800mAh) provides long-lasting power to the entire system, including the camera and all accessories.
• Monitoring & Wireless Video: A FEELWORLD LUT6E 6" 1600NIT monitor offers a bright, clear image for accurate focus and exposure. The MARS 300 PRO WIRELESS TRANSMITTER sends a clean video signal to a director's monitor or video village.
• Light & Image Control: The SMALLRIG Matte Box Kit includes CPL & VND Filters, a lens hood, and a top flag for complete control over light, reflections, and lens flares.
• Professional Audio: The rig is equipped with a dual audio system. The DJI MIC 2 provides a high-quality wireless lavalier solution, while the Rode NTG4+ shotgun microphone captures clean, directional on-camera sound.
• Behind-the-Scenes Capture: An ACTION 5 PRO camera is mounted to the rig for capturing behind-the-scenes footage of the production.

Operational Versatility: Tripod, Shoulder, and Handheld

This rig is designed for rapid transitions between shooting styles, saving critical time on set. The key to this seamless interchangeability is the TILTA LIGHTWEIGHT DOVETAIL PLATE.

• Tripod Operation: For static shots and controlled camera moves, the entire rig slides onto a compatible tripod head, creating a stable, secure platform.
• Shoulder & Handheld Operation: The rig can be instantly detached from the tripod via the dovetail plate for mobile shooting. The Tilta cage allows for the attachment of handles, converting the system into an ergonomic shoulder rig for stable handheld work. This allows the operator to move from a locked-off shot to a dynamic follow-shot in seconds without needing to rebuild the camera.
