PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The long-awaited Blackmagic box camera is finally here with the Pyxis 6K and now the Pyxis 12K. The KONDOR BLUE Pyxis Cage is up to any rigging task. Each plate in this modular cage system is feature-packed to elevate the production experience.

The Top and Bottom Plates take up half of the area front to back. These plates are fully symmetrical from left to right. This is ideal for several use cases—for instance when operating on a gimbal, this cuts the cage weight in half while providing essential mounts. Cages A & B include two sets of Top and Bottom Plates and can be rigged with our Pro-Blade SSD Top Handle with our new dual NATO mounting kit. This solution provides insane record limits (1, 2, or 4TB drives) with maximum stability.

The Top and Bottom Plates can be reversed and mounted under-slug for challenging jib and/or dolly shots. Much like the Sony FX6 and Burano cages, the front ARRI mounts are 60mm apart and work perfectly to mount 15mm rods with the KB M12 Anti-Twist Mounts. For true power freedom, run both the native Sony BP-U battery and a V-Mount or Gold Mount plate off of the back of the Top Plate or with a Baseplate kit.

The Left and Right Side Rosette Ribs have been optimized for multiple operation modes. They include an integrated ARRI style 60-tooth rosette with M6 mounting standard, NATO rail with a safety pin, and multiple ¼”-20 and ⅜”-16 anti-twist mounts. Best of all, they can be used at either end of the camera and even flipped upside down to place the rosette to the bottom—an excellent option for those looking to rig extension arms and grips for shoulder and Easy Rig configurations. The Side Rails are also compatible with Drop-in filter lens adapters such as the MOFAGE Poco and Breakthrough Photography DFM adapters.

The Side Plate provides a wide range of options from dual cold shoes, anti-twist mounts, removable safety-pin NATO, in-line bubble level, and more. The Side Plate can be mounted with the NATO at the top or bottom of the plate. The NATO rail can also be removed so tripod plates can be mounted in either orientation for vertical shooting. The mounting row is directly centered with the sensor for consistent paralaxing when used on a gimbal or tripod. Two 3mm anti-twist pins are also stored in the back of the plate for accessories that need to be mounted which can be done through the Side Plate’s center mount. 1.5mm and 3mm hex tools are magnetically mounted to the plate for easy access.

Built for adaptability on the go, each plate mounting bolts are held captive in place. Plates mount with as little hardware as possible while remaining insanely solid on the rig. Speed, customization, and flexibility are baked into the KONDOR BLUE’s Blackmagic Pyxis Cage’s DNA. Combined with your creativity, this setup will have no bounds.
