3.1 Assembling the Camera Cage (Kit 4184)

  1. Ensure your Sony FX30 or FX3 camera is powered off and lenses are removed for safety.
  2. Carefully align the camera with the cage. The cage is designed to fit precisely around the camera body.
  3. Secure the camera within the cage using the provided screws. Typically, a 1/4"-20 screw at the bottom and an anti-twist pin or side screw will secure the camera firmly. Refer to the included tools for tightening.
  4. Attach the dedicated HDMI cable clamp to the cage if you plan to use an external monitor or recorder. Ensure the cable is securely fastened to prevent accidental disconnections. (Refer to Figure 2.2.5)
  5. If using the Sony audio handle, attach the XLR extension component to the cage as needed.

  2. Align the NATO clamp of the Sling Handle with the gimbal's NATO rail.
  3. Tighten the NATO clamp's locking lever until the handle is securely attached to the gimbal. Ensure the anti-off button is engaged for added security. (Refer to Figure 2.2.6)
  4. Adjust the angle of the handle using the ratchet knob. The handle can pivot up to 180° to achieve desired low-angle or side-handle configurations.
  5. Ensure the handle is mounted on the left side of the gimbal to avoid interference with control buttons. (Refer to Figure 2.2.9)
