One of the most anticipated cameras of 2025 has finally been announced and is on its way. The Sony FX2 is ready to capture vivid 4K video with natural gradations, realistic color, and low noise in both full-frame and Super 35 modes.
This new Sony digital cinema camera is already looking to be one of the most popular cameras of the year, and it will be quite capable with its 33MP back-illuminated Exmor R sensor and BIONZ XR processor.
Yet, as is the case with every new camera, you’re going to need more than just pixel counts and recording specs to turn this new camera into a true workhorse for your projects. In that vein, let’s look at the new SmallRig Camera Cage for the Sony FX2 and explore what it can offer to help you get your rig ready.

Designed to house and protect your Sony FX2 and expand its mounting options to create a handheld rig that works for your production, this new SmallRig Camera Cage for the Sony FX2 will feature a detachable top plate with a NATO rail to attach the Sony XLR top handle or other top handle options without interfering with the EVF.
