This camera cage provides protective armor for the camera body and utilizes modular design choices to greatly improve the functionality of the Pyxis through mounting options like NATO Rail, Arri Rosette, Cold Shoe, 3/8″-16 and 1/4″-20 threads with locating points.

The five main components of the Full Cage are the Top Plate, Bottom Plate, Side Plate, Left Side Arm and Right Side Arm which are all designed to match the native aesthetics of the camera. The Top, Bottom and Side Plate can also be used independently in order to accommodate a variety of different sized camera builds.

The Side Plate supports quick transitions between Horizontal and Vertical setups as it can be used as the bottom plate when mounted vertically and provides enough space between rods and lens for most accessories. When in this vertical configuration, the bottom plate features specifically positioned threads to align the baseplate with the optical center of the lens. This Side Plate also supports external recording via the integrated SSD Mount and features multiple 1/4”-20 threads for various accessories including smartphone clamps for livestream setups. The SSD Mount accommodate hard drives 52mm-60mm wide and less than 12mm thick.

Both the Top and Bottom Plates are designed to avoid the body’s heat dissipation vents, ensuring the camera’s cooling performance remains unaffected. The Top Plate is compatible with the PYXIS native top handle and also features a detachable 3/8 to 1/4 thread adapter, allowing users to choose various top handles to best suit different sized setups.
