SmallRig Sony FX3/FX30 HawkLock Half Cage

Smallrig's camera cage line is among the most extensive in the industry, covering nearly every commercially significant mirrorless and small-cinema body shipped over the past decade. Cages are designed body-specific — with model-specific cutouts for HDMI ports, battery doors, screw holes, and accessory shoes — and incorporate the company's QR-system mounting points, NATO rails, ARRI rosettes, and standardized 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 thread patterns for mounting handles, monitors, and accessories.

The line is built around aluminum construction with anodized finishes, with most cages now using HawkLock or QR-style baseplate interfaces to allow rapid installation and removal without complete rerigging. Many cages ship as full kits with handles, baseplates, and cable clamps included, and Smallrig releases incremental hardware revisions for popular bodies as firmware or accessory needs evolve. The company has positioned its cage line as an accessible alternative to higher-tier brands, with significantly broader body coverage and shorter time-to-market for new camera releases. This combination of breadth, body-specific tooling, and rapid response to new camera launches has made Smallrig the default cage supplier for many independent and small-budget productions, while also serving as a secondary inventory option for rental and broadcast facilities.
