SmallRig HawkLock Handheld Cage Kit with V-Mount Plate for Sony FX5

SmallRig "HawkLock" Handheld Cage Kit with V-Mount Plate for Sony FX5 (6779) is designed for the Sony FX5 to provide camera protection, accessory expansion, handheld support, and a mounting solution for a compact V-mount battery during extended shooting.

The V-mount battery plate mounts quickly and features a folding design for easier storage and portability. The cage features a modular design with a top mount plate and U-shaped cage, allowing flexible setups for different shooting scenarios. Each module is secured at two or more points for stable, anti-twist mounting, and protective pads help prevent scratches on the camera body.

The ergonomic top handle offers a comfortable grip and mounts quickly via a NATO clamp. Its enclosed design helps prevent accidental drops during low-angle shooting. A dedicated HDMI cable clamp protects the port and ensures stable signal transmission. The included wrist strap reduces strain and improves security during extended handheld use.

The cage includes multiple mounting options such as 1/4"-20 threaded holes, 1/4"-20 locating holes, 3/8"-16 threaded holes, ARRI locating holes, a NATO rail, an Arca-type quick release plate, a QD socket, and a wrist strap slot. A built-in magnetic wrench allows for quick adjustments and assembly.
