Mine just arrived and got it installed in no time thanks to this helpful video! I'm also happy to report that it seems to be fully compatible with the Sirui Full Camera Cage for Sony FX3 & FX30 as long as you use the included spacers. Thanks, Caleb!

It's really good to see you doing what you actually want to do, making stuff. I hope you're doing well 🤝

Got the full setup with the XLR handle extension and I'm loving it! Used it on 4 shoots this week and it operates so nicely. So easy to install. I thought my FX3 was good before but this makes it so much better to use.

impatiently waiting for the 6700 cage. This is on the genius level

Stoked to get mine!

Great looking product. Will have to pick up a couple. Please, Please, Please for version 2 if you ever come out with an improved version, use twist D-tap plugs so we have the option of which way the cords go.

Smallrig needs to work with Caleb to make a unified cineback/cage. 🔥🔥🔥

Looks incredible. Would love to see a 3d printed/plastic/cncd piece/door that covers the FX3/FX30 battery hatch in some way. with a slot for the outgoing cable ofc. Maybe something for the future updates?

That's the only thing I am tripped out on! I don't wanna take my battery door off and the exposure worries me for run and gun. Either way still so cool he made these!

This is marvelous

I was waiting for this so I can use the XLR handle

HOLY COW this is good.

love it! do one with the sony ZV-E1 pleaseee

That D tap camera cable bending the wrong way really bugs me. I wish you had designed one D tap connector upside down for that.

Had the same thought. But i think it was done in this way so as not to hinder the hand when accessing the functionalities via the wheel. Another solution would have been to set vertical connectors but it would not be possible to set as many (also cables would run over the next connector).

I've already bought v-mount plates + cables for PD and I'm not a huge fan of adding so much bulk to my rig, but it sure is nice to have the handle connect in two places. I would buy a couple for my cameras, but $300+ is pretty far out. I would think $150-200 would still be very profitable and you'd sell twice as many. I guess it's a niche product for people who want the 'box' camera look.

I hope this product can become more accesible and acquirable in the near future, I waited patiently and long for the next batch to be released, subscribed to the mailing and alerts, woke up early to get an order in, just to get kicked out with no more stock just as I was finishing the shipping details, it's a bit infuriating and definitely heartbreaking that the purchase becomes a race to whoever can input "order" first, rather than those who´'ve been following patiently since the start. Despite everything, hopefully SmallRig or some other accesories company can do a collab and produce these things at a better rate. Sadly I have honestly given up on trying to get one of these in the near future. Hopefully restocks come sooner than later at much larger rates....

Absolutely amazing. Quick question. How long would it take to remove the camera from the larger back cage part for the smallrig cage? Just three screw right? It would be nice how long out would take to go from this to say the camera on a gimbal :)

Looks like I'll have to wait for the next batch. Will this work with the V1 Tilta cage?

When are you coming out with a gold mount battery adapter? My organization doesn't use v-mount batteries. thx!

Finally, after months of waiting I was able to order cineback+xlr extension kit. And happy that I didn’t go with RigidPro which “ripped” or “took inspiration” from original cineback. I wanted to buy Ulanzi cooling fan for summer days, I know that both FX3/30 won’t overheat, but I love when my camera runs cooler. Would there be enough space to place Ulanzi fan? Thanks in advance

Thanks for this, just wondering why the xlr handle extension kit is almost the same price as the base cineback? Seems like a less complicated part. Is there a way to purchase just the cineback and xlr module together without the original top cheese plate?

yeah just buy the rigidpro instead. much cheaper

I would love to see a fine back for the canon c70!

Gha this is amazing. When do they come back in stock???

anyone know of a decent and safe way to use D-tap to USB-C to power the camera/other accessories? Id rather use Power Delivery to the battery when possible, and my monitor is also USB C powerable

Yes he has one the gold standard Mount LOL

Is this compatible with the Sirui FX3/30 cage?

How many hours of recording using a full charged DTAP Battery? What models of batteries do you recommend?

Could you make the same back for the Canon C70 please 🙈 would like that camera to be a square 😅

it's always sold out :( even with my email subscription, I still managed to miss the pre-order.

Like that commercial says with the old guy with the fishing pole, "You got to be quicker than that"

Can you make one for vertical?

Still waiting on the a74 version 🙌🏾

i gave up waiting and ordered the rigidpro version and had it in 2 days!

are we getting a Lumix s5IIx version?

Got the notification today but it's out of stock ? WELL...

Hey I have been trying to purchase the cineback for my fx30 for the past two weeks and have been up at 6am eastern but the ordering page is never changes from out of stock. Is there a certain way I have to order it or from a specific place? It's 7:05am est which is 11am GMT -4 when the status page states it would be available.

Any chance we’ll see a release of the cineback with top handle extension kit bundled together?

just get the rigidpro top handle version. better design imo.

Hi Camera Foundry, is this compatible with the Smallrig 3278 cage ? Thx

Today they were supposed to go live with another batch....not even 10 seconds in from when it was released as I was putting in my information it was sold out...wtf are we supposed to do with that? How many do yall make per batch? Like 2???

can you use the title cage V1 on this?

Had a lot of respect for Caleb until he accused Rigid Pro for copying the Cineback. Rigid Pro was in the market first. I mean come on man.. Smallrig doesn't sue or make a big deal when Neweer or Tilta makes camera cages. A Cineback + XLR sets you back $600+, a Rigid Pro XLR hand is at $300+. Is the extra weight and $300 worth it? It all depends on the user since everybody rigs their setup differently. IMO, if you're gonna go the rig route, just get a FX6. You have less to think about, less variables to fail or parts to forget at home. The cost is the same, if not.. cheaper

thing is never in stock

Can you do $300 ?

I'm $600 lighter.

immediately sold out lol damn.

lemme get this right. $630 plus a cage, when there's another brand that does the same top handle thing and more, all in one for $300 less. Hard pass.
