Bright Tangerine Sony FX5 Advanced Kit

With the Sony FX5 Advanced Kit, you’ve got everything you need to make the step up to professional filmmaking. The robust rigging options, versatile design and small footprint combine to give you maximised freedom with minimal compromise.

Be a professional, don’t just look the part, with the FX5 Advanced Kit.

Easy Rigging

If you’re a Camera Trainee on the first day of prep or a solo-shooter DOP, you want the freedom to rig whatever you need, however you need, wherever you need. The Advanced Kit spoils you for choice, with a huge host of accessory mounting options. Choose standard bolt-on mounts via the 1/4" and 3/8” anti-twist screw threads, or mount camera straps from the dedicated QD sockets. There’s also integrated NATO for quick-release convenience – and that’s just the Top Plate.

Top Performance

Want all those rigging options, but also want to access the camera’s shoe or EVF mount? The NATO Top Plate gives you a range of rigging options, along with a cutout to access the multifunction shoe on top of the FX5. Hook up the FX5 EVF, then use our mounting bracket to add it anywhere on your rig – we give you the options, you find the one that works best for you. And if you want to trade EVF access for rigging real-estate? Simply add our optional Filler Piece.

Get a Grip

The FX5 Advanced Kit forms a complete Sony FX5 cage, giving you plenty of rigging real-estate without compromising on camera size. Our Right Side Plate contours to the camera for comfortable handheld shooting, as well as a selection of 1/4" accessory mounts. On the other hand (literally), the NATO Wing Grip sits offset from the camera: making it easy to hold for handicam shots whilst also offering easy access to camera inputs. And of course, it is covered in bolt-on and quick-release rigging options.

Open Rigging

Our FX5 Bottom Plate is forward-facing in more ways than one. Of course, the camera is kept aligned by two mounting screws and anti-twist lips; but the built-in Arca compatibility means you can also mount it to a huge range of options. If you’re running a stripped-back rig, just clip it into an Arca tripod, or you can attach it into our OpenRig ecosystem if you’re wanting a more ambitious build.

Smooth Handling

The new Create Top Handle mounts via a standard NATO rail: for quick setup and even quicker release. We’ve made the smoothness of NATO setups even smoother, thanks to a built-in magnet that will automatically centre the handle on your Top Plate. Build it out with our set of Master Handle Extensions, or mount a low-profile monitor via our Top Bar Bracket and Rod Mount system.

Seamless Shooting

Whatever the particulars of your camera setup, whether you are ninja-walking on a gimbal or running a full cine rig, the Advanced Kit is designed to be forgotten about. The cage maximises access to the camera’s buttons and inputs, with dedicated cutouts for dummy batteries, drop-in filter housings and cable management.

Go Vertical

The Sony FX5’s Open Gate sensor means you can shoot for almost any aspect ratio. But if the client only wants 9:16, or you’re DOP-ing a vertical drama, you can mount the camera vertically for maximised resolution. Add our NATO Clamp for Vertical Shooting to clip the Wing Grip, so you can get the right angle at a right-angle.

Worth It

Anyone left unsupervised with a power drill can put some holes in a lump of metal - so what sets the FX5 Advanced Kit apart? Aside from the fact that our plates are made from the kind of aluminium that they shoot into space, we also hard-anodise and precision-cut every single plate. The result? A quality you can feel through every second of shooting.

Part of the Sony FX5 System

The future is here: the Sony FX5 is the latest and greatest cinema camera, so make sure your camera has the cage it deserves. Bright Tangerine Sony FX5 accessories are all designed to the highest standard, so you always have the best camera rig for the job.
