Movcam has unveiled their cage and accessory system for the Sony FX9.
The FX9 solution consists of three major modules:
• Baseplate & on-shoulder module
• Top & Side Expansion
• Distribution Box
Baseplate & On-Shoulder Module
The Baseplate & on-shoulder module uses the VCT-14 standard and can also be used with Movcam’s universal dovetail plate.
15mm rods can be mounted in the LWS standard and can be also mounted onto a 19mm Studio bridge plate.
A removable lens support is also available on the baseplate for lens adapters and also features a rosette block for an additional handle.
The shoulder pad has been upgraded with new material for better comfort.
Top & Side Expansion
The Top & side expansion module provides plenty of mounting points with 1/4″ and ARRI accessory mounts (3/8″ with pin loc) threads.
A top bracket also enables the use of 15mm rods to mount other accessories like an EVF bracket or focus motor.
Distribution Box
The Distribution box has a contoured design to match the shape of the camera and provides power distribution for a V-lock battery to power accessories with 2x D-Tap and 2x 2-pin LEMO ports.
It also has a 19.5V power input using the Sony standard 4-pin XLR DC port with hot-swap functionality with the use of a D-Tap to 4-pin XLR cable.
