  • Protects the Sony FX2 with lightweight aluminium alloy construction
  • Weighs only 3.4 oz (98 g) for comfortable extended use
  • Multiple 1/4"-20 threads, NATO rails and a cold shoe mount expand accessory options
  • Arca-Swiss quick-release base enables fast handheld-to-gimbal transitions
  • Precision cutouts keep the EVF, buttons and ports fully accessible

Half Cage for Sony FX2

The SmallRig 5591 half cage wraps the Sony FX2 in aluminium alloy to guard against knocks and scratches while keeping every button, port and the tiltable EVF fully exposed. It is built for solo shooters and small crews who need a lightweight rig that still offers professional mounting density.

Check mounting points and handle clearance

Verify that your existing accessories use 1/4"-20 threads, 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes, NATO rails or a cold shoe, as these are the only interfaces the cage provides. The detachable top plate with NATO rail accepts the Sony XLR top handle or SmallRig rotating top handle 4152 without blocking the EVF, so confirm your preferred handle matches that rail.

Sustained handling with quick transitions

At 98 g the cage adds negligible mass during long handheld sessions, and the Arca-Swiss base plate with HawkLock H38 auto-lock lets you slide between tripod, gimbal and shoulder strap without re-rigging. Compatible DJI RS-series stabilisers lock directly to the plate, so the balance you dial in once holds through repeated mount changes.

Questions about this item

Does the SmallRig 5591 half cage include the Arca-Swiss quick release plate and NATO rails, or must they be purchased separately?

The cage ships with an integrated Arca-Swiss quick release plate at the base, two NATO rails, a cold shoe mount, multiple 1/4"-20 threads and 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes; no extra mounting hardware is required for basic use.

Which handle accessories are confirmed to fit the NATO rail and cold shoe on this cage?

The detachable top plate NATO rail accepts Sony's XLR top handle or SmallRig rotating top handle 4152; the cold shoe mounts devices such as the DJI Mic 2 or LED lights, and side handle 4485 plus top handle 4483 attach via the HawkLock rail.

How does the 98 g weight and Arca-Swiss base affect balance when moving the Sony FX2 between tripod, gimbal and handheld rigs?

At 98 g the cage adds minimal mass, and the built-in Arca-Swiss plate with HawkLock H38 auto-lock lets you slide the camera onto DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4 or RS 4 Pro gimbals or a tripod without rebalancing the payload each time.
