SmallRig 6774 Advanced "Hawklock" Cage for Sony FX5 Overview

The SmallRig Advanced "Hawklock" Cage for Sony FX5 (6774) is a lightweight, modular camera cage designed to protect the Sony FX5 while providing a wide range of mounting options for professional accessories. Engineered for filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators, it offers a secure, anti-twist fit without compromising access to the camera's controls, ports, or battery compartment.

The modular design combines removable top mounting plates with a durable U-shaped cage, allowing users to adapt the rig for different shooting configurations. The top plates are secured with dual screws and can be removed to accommodate the Sony XLR Handle (XLRH2B) or Sony Electronic Viewfinder (DVFEL1B). The U-shaped cage attaches at three points using 1/4"-20 screws to provide a stable, twist-resistant connection, while integrated protective pads help prevent scratches to the camera body.

Designed for efficient handheld operation, the cage features a redesigned battery compartment lever that follows the contours of the camera, improving finger support and overall grip comfort. A dedicated HDMI cable clamp helps protect the camera's HDMI port while maintaining a secure, reliable signal connection during production.

The cage offers extensive accessory expansion with integrated 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, and a wrist strap slot. The HawkLock quick-release system allows rapid attachment and removal of compatible accessories, while anti-drop stops on both the NATO rail and Arca plate provide added security during demanding shoots.

For added convenience, a magnetic wrench is built directly into the cage, ensuring essential tools are always within reach for quick assembly and adjustments on set.

Combining lightweight construction, robust camera protection, and versatile accessory mounting, the SmallRig Advanced "Hawklock" Cage for Sony FX5 is an ideal foundation for building a professional production rig for cinema, documentary, broadcast, and commercial filmmaking.
