SONY FX30/FX3 Cinerig Base - Top Handle Edition

For use exclusively with Sony XLR Audio Top Handle

Unlike others, with the Rigid.PRO XLR Camera Base, there's no need to buy a more expensive base, and then have to spend the same again on more parts to work with the top handle. The original Rigid.PRO XLR Top Handle Edition is subtantially more affordable, and ready to go straight out of the box (with a cage). No more to pay!

We've looked at changing this model, but the feedback we keep getting is so good on this model we can't bring ourselves to go "the other way". It's now being used in broadcast, news reporting, sports, and videography all around the world. We're a bit proud of this one.

If you've been looking for the ultimate cinema rig for the Sony FX30/FX3 camera then look no further. The RIGID.PRO base converts your camera into a cinematic powerhouse!

Utilising the 8Sinn FX30/FX3 cage (not included) which can also be purchased on Amazon, simply attach the RIGID.PRO base using the supplied four screws. The XLR Top Handle Edition will not fit any other cage.

The RIGID.PRO FX30/FX3 XLR Top Handle Edition provides a strong D-Handle that braces and secures to the factory top handle, ensuring no more broken audio handles!

Use the V-Mount battery of your choice, and you'll get four D-Tap power outputs (10A max total). Plus, when combined with a dummy battery, you'll have a singular power button to power your camera and anything connected via D-Tap - including external monitors or microphones. Hit the power switch, and there's zero current draw ensuring your battery will last for hours, if not days.

You might also consider adding the D-tap to USB-C Right Angle Power Cable and the Top Plate for the XLR Audio body.

The RIGID.PRO base also offers complete access to ALL of the camera's buttons, including the MODE button. We suggest you leave the camera's power slider 'on', and use the RIGID.PRO power switch. A convenient built-in LCD display shows the system voltage available from the connected V-Mount battery ensuring you've got one eye on the power situation at all times. 

The FX30/FX3 screen tucks neatly away into a felt-lined recess built into the side of the RIGID.PRO base, while the cheese plates on top and bottom provide multiple mounting options for your base plate and all your accessories.

A clever compartment inside the RIGID.PRO base allows for storing excess cable and ensures trouble-free cable management. 

The RIGID.PRO FX30/FX3 Base has been specifically designed for this highly capable camera body and the XLR Audio Top Handle. It's manufactured from a blend of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Carbon Fibre - which has excellent high temperature resistance and is UV stable. Combined with the aluminium cheese plate and high-tensile screws, the base promises years of trouble free service.

If you're looking for the ultimate RIGID.PRO Camera Base to use without the Sony XLR Top Handle, then you need this version.
