SHAPE Matte Box and Follow Focus Kit for Sony FX3

The SHAPE Half Cage with Wooden Handle protects your Sony FX3 camera while extending its mounting capabilities with a cold shoe, seven 3/8"-16 threads, and multiple 1/4"-20 threads, enabling versatile customization of your run-and-gun setup for field applications with additional monitors or microphones. An ARRI rosette on the left side of the cage allows you to attach the included adjustable wooden handle to the rig for a more ergonomic handgrip. To ensure unencumbered operation, the cage's design maintains access to the camera's controls and ports.

Attaching the factory handle of your camera is easy, thanks to the top plate's threaded ARRI hole patterns. An included HDMI protector can be secured to the camera to prevent damage to your cable or connector port. Fitting the cage to a quick release plate or DELTA adapter increases compatibility to tripods or shoulder mounts for further stabilization in the field.

Expand the flexibility of your camera rig and lighting setup while avoiding lens flares and keeping lights out of frame with the compact Swing-Away Matte Box from SHAPE. Adaptable installation options allow the matte box to have a straight, swing-away, or clip-on configuration, and a removable silicone shade box increases customization for the optimal setup of your rig. Its aluminum and carbon fiber construction is lightweight, and the included rod block is height adjustable by tightening the knobs, making it compatible with lenses up to 124mm in diameter.

A removable carbon fiber top flag prevents flares in bright sunlight, and additional adapter rings further customize the size of the matte box's opening, ranging from 67 to 87mm. A fabric knicker secures the area where the matte box and your camera lens connect to prevent light from peeking through.

Use the compact SHAPE Follow Focus Kit with Single 15mm Rod Clamp with your camera setup to make focus pulling easy. The modular design allows you to add and remove any of the components without screws or tools, and its small profile allows the addition of a matte box or accessories around your lens.

At the core of the kit is a rubber, anti-slip follow focus wheel attached to a single aluminum 15mm rod clamp. The clamp rotates to adjust to most lens sizes, and it's tightened by a locking lever. The clamp's rotation also allows the focus wheel to easily swing out of the way when changing lenses.

Five drive gears are included to fit a variety of lens sizes: 0.5 MOD/78T, 0.6 MOD/64T, 0.8 MOD/38T, 0.8 MOD/43T, and 0.8 MOD/78T. The gears can be flipped from front to back to facilitate different lens configurations. A 49mm rubber friction wheel is also included for the 0.5 MOD/78T gear which is most commonly used with DSLR lenses.

For alternate fine-focus configurations, use the included speed crank or 11" whip, both of which attach to the center point of the knob. Four magnetic marking disks are included to attach to the focus wheel.

This pair of Shape 15mm Aluminum Rods (10") connect into your camera rig, extend it, and let you add various Shape and third-party accessories compatible with 15mm rods. With these two rods and with a few fundamental accessories, you can most certainly even begin building your own rig from scratch.

The rods are each 15mm in diameter, 10 inches long, hollow, non-threaded, and made of reliable aluminum coated with a clear finish.
