This version of our cage for the Blackmagic PYXIS 6K is dubbed the Hollow Point, and can accommodate all models of the PYXIS (EF/PL/L Mount). It features most of the same features as the Full Metal Jacket version--however the faceplate is removed to allow for the PL or EF mount of the PYXIS to pass through.
You are still able to use the "Universal Adapter Mount" with this cage if you are adapting a lens to the L-Mount if you decide to load an L-Mount PYXIS into this cage.
Beyond that--the Hollow Point cage offers you the ability to truly build your PYXIS any way you wish; while still protecting the camera body to a very high degree. Think of this cage as an insurance policy as well as a means to rig your camera. Precision machined from 1 solid piece of 6061 Grade Aluminum--the cage is both more robust and unique in build when compared to typical Top/Bottom/Side Plate "cage" systems from other manufacturers.
Incredibly, you can even mount 15mm rods to the front and back of the cage--giving you the standard 60mm spacing needed for standard 15mm rod accessories. This means you can add battery plates and follow focuses directly to the cage without the need for an additional 15mm rail mount.
This feature is especially important if you wish to power your PYXIS with external power.
The Hollow Point cage features:
- 300+ threaded mounting points (incl. 32x 3/8"-16 w/Arri spacing)
- 2x built-in Nato rails for mounting side handles
- 1x built-in Rosette mount
- 3x built-in cold shoe mounts
- 1x Universal Adapter Lock mounting location*
- LCD Screen Cover/Hood mount options*
- Direct-to-Cage 15mm Rod mount options*
- Backplate mounting options*
The cage was also designed to mimic the surface and mount placement of the Blackmagic PYXIS Camera itself--meaning proprietary Blackmagic accessories can mount easily to the cage; including the Blackmagic Top Handle, EVF and LCD Screen.
At only 600g (21.3 oz) the Hollow Point cage for Blackmagic PYXIS 6K is also lighter than many other systems--while still offering significantly more protection and mounting options.
*Basic purchase includes cage and mounting hardware only--other accessories pictured are optional add-ons.
