Designed as a compact foundation for building a versatile Cinema Line rig, this Starter Camera Cage Kit combines a dedicated two-piece aluminium cage for the Sony FX3, FX3A and FX30 with the ÆTHEL DESIGN Universal Top Handle.
The open-frame cage provides a secure platform for handheld, tripod and gimbal setups while maintaining access to the camera’s grip, ports, screen and battery compartment. Its detachable upper mounting plate provides additional accessory positions when required, while multiple 1/4" and 3/8" threads, an integrated cold shoe and Arca-type base support monitors, microphones, handles and lights without adding unnecessary bulk.
For greater control during handheld, mobile and low-angle shooting, the compact top handle features a textured silicone grip and interchangeable 1/4" and 3/8" ARRI-style mounting studs. Multiple accessory threads and integrated front and rear cold shoe mounts keep essential rig components accessible while maintaining a clean, uncluttered setup.
