Unlock Your Sony FX9's True Potential
Elevate your cinematography with the Wooden Camera Top Plate, an essential upgrade meticulously engineered for the Sony FX9. This top plate is the foundation of a professional camera rig, transforming your FX9 from a standalone camera into a fully-equipped production powerhouse. Designed for filmmakers who demand reliability, flexibility, and a seamless workflow, this plate integrates perfectly with your camera, unlocking a new level of creative control and operational efficiency on set. Whether you're building a run-and-gun documentary setup, a complex studio configuration, or a cinematic narrative rig, this top plate provides the secure, versatile mounting points you need for all your critical accessories.
Crafted from a single block of aircraft-grade aluminum, the Top Plate contours perfectly to the unique shape of the Sony FX9 body, ensuring a low-profile, stable, and secure fit that feels like a natural extension of the camera. The intelligent design is covered in an array of industry-standard 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threaded holes, giving you limitless options for attaching articulating arms, external monitors, wireless video transmitters, microphones, and more. We've also integrated multiple ARRI-standard accessory mounts, which feature locating pins to prevent your most crucial accessories from twisting or coming loose during dynamic shots—a common point of failure in less professional rigs. This attention to detail means you can build with confidence, knowing your gear is locked in and secure. We've thoughtfully engineered the plate to maintain full compatibility with essential Sony accessories. The modular center section can be removed, allowing you to reinstall the original Sony FX9 top handle and maintain its vital electronic communication for camera control. Furthermore, the design leaves ample room for the Sony XDCA-FX9 Extension Unit, so you never have to compromise your camera's core functionality for the sake of rigging. It's the ultimate solution for professionals who need to expand their setup without compromise.
