Unboxing the Tilta Camera Cage for Sony FX6 (Advanced Kit) 

Glad you enjoyed it! I've got more videos with your products coming out soon!

Ours came with the rosette on the right side loose and will not tighten up. Defective.

Congrats. Totally get it. Build it out how you like it and for your work flow.

Thanks! Hoping to do the full camera package video soon. It's been a crazy busy year.

Had to do it.

I've been putting it on the camera left side. I can remember The exact reason why but everytime I try to switch it over...that when I remember..so I've just kept it on the left. Haha Thanks for watching.

I actually got a SmallHD Cine 5 for my FX6. You can use a Noga arm or an Ultralight to put the monitor out over the MB. When I do handheld I like the have the monitor flush with the camera left side of the MB. BUT it depends on what lenses you are using. My Leica R primes are very short so it's not a problem. If you have physically longer lenses you will need a longer arm to put the monitor out further.

@@FilmmakerSurvival thank you so much do u have an IG ?

Hey! Thanks for watching. Typically with any camera I look at the battery it self if it's gold mount or v lock type battery. They pretty much all have an indicator or small LEDs showing the level. Also I will look at the voltage on the camera display. I can't remember if the FX6 can show voltage or not but when I work with the Alexa Mini, I know from experience that the camera will shut off once voltage is down to about 11.3-11.5 volts. It's different for every camera but something you can test to find out. That gives you a more accurate estimate of how much power is left.

@@FilmmakerSurvival Thanks.

I have noticed this. Can be a bit annoying.

@@FilmmakerSurvival Are you able to remove and insert cards or do you need to remove the Tilta adapter or v-mount battery? Also, is the Tilta Kit heavy? I just switched to the FX6 from an Amira because of how heavy it was, I don't want to end up in the same place. Thank you.

Great question! I'll check once I get the camera back from a rental this weekend.

Yes! You can put the cable management clip back on the cage. Titla made a slot for it to go back on.

@@FilmmakerSurvival Thanks!

You can use rods off the top. Yes I beleive the side plate would stick down past the bottom past the body without the bottom plate.

It's pretty good. I did have to upgrade my EF mount to the Metabones cinelock because the weight would shift the lens when using a wireless focus motor. I think if I was doing 3 filters I would go on the rails to be safe. Those lenses aren't really meant for that much weight hanging out front.

If you are using the right gimbal that can support the camera then you don't have to strip it down much at all. The Ronin RS2 can hold up to 10lbs. This FX6 with everything I use on it weighs exactly 10lbs. You may want to take off the monitor and matte box to help. All you really have to do is maybe switch a base plate if you want to go to studio mode. Realisticly it should only take a minute or 2 to switch. If you're going handheld it's just a matter of putting the monitor on and handles if you need them.

Which base plate would you recommend?

also all the controls you have with the grip, iris, auto focus assignable buttons etc...

You could get a small noga arm or ultralight and put it from the top. You might be able to just move the bracket it comes with in one of the upper holes on the side.

Fully built with cables and all it weighed in at 10lbs.
