SONY FX30/FX3 Convertible Cinerig Base (V3)
SONY FX30/FX3 Convertible Cinerig Base (V3)
UPDATED TO V3 (September 30 2024)
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 with just a few screws!
The V3 update is a convertible Cinerig Base that is now also compatible with the Sony XLR-H1 XLR Handle. The new modular cheeseplate is convertible, so you can unscrew the front half, allowing for use with our XLR Handle Adaptor Kit (Sold Seperately). You can purchase them together in a Bundle here.
If you're not using the XLR Handle, the FX3/FX30 is the same as our Original and V2 Standard Edition rigs. Simply leave the front half of the top cheeseplate in place.

Using the battery of your choice, 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 recessed power switch, and there's zero current draw ensuring your battery will last for hours, if not days.
Available in either V-Mount or Gold Mount options. You might also consider adding the D-tap to USB-C Right Angle Power Cable.
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 LED 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. Custom designed aluminium cheese plates (top and bottom) are the perfect base for mounting to a tripod base, and all your accessories on top for a rigid and reliable build.
All that's left to do is add a top handle, and you'll have the ultimate cinema rig!

Super product
Super solid unit with a excellent upgrade on not only split plates/xlr compatibility but the logo is blacked out and more minimalistic! Transformed my set up and definitely recommend this as the go to rigging option!
Absolutely love this thing. I will say, the durability is a lot better than anticipated. I was filmed out in the woods while it was pouring rain and it didn't skip a beat. Maybe some surface rust on the screws but that's about it.
I can't believe I used a cheap smallrig v-mount setup for so long before using this.
Rigid really has it all figured out, this base adds the perfect amount of weight as well as additional d-tap ports and mounting points turning your camera into the perfect cine rig.
Glad to be a part of the team now, can’t wait to see what you guys come out with next!
