Recently, we contacted videographer Ralph Samson to find out about his favourite Sony FX6 camera accessories. Here is what he works with:
Sony FX6 pivoting V-Mount battery plate and battery

A videographer’s favorite Sony FX6 camera accessories
Here are my top 5 accessories that are an amazing platform to customize my camera for a particular shoot or scene. These 5 items from SHAPE are with me 99% of the time.
Sony FX6 Camera Cage
The camera cage comes first on my list as I feel it is the perfect platform to start customizing my rig from. It is a tight fit on the camera. Just like most of the other shape accessories, the cage is cnc machined in-house with quality aluminum. Bonus: added protection and heat dissipation.
Universal SHAPE cold shoe female
This tiny accessory is on my camera 99% or the time. Being able to tighten it makes it so much better than using the mount on the fx6 handle. It keeps stuff secure on the fx6 cage. I mainly use it to attach audio or monitoring accessories.
SHAPE BP-U65 battery and charger
Ideal for compact run and gun setup. The capacity is great for a lot of projects and I use the d-tap to power an external monitor. This is my go to power solution for lighter rigs, travel and even be used them on a gimbal with the fx6.
Sony FX6 pivoting V-Mount battery plate and battery
The obvious reason this makes it on my list is battery capacity. Other than that I have to admit that the combination of the push-button and the posibility to angle the plate to use a Sony battery underneath makes it awesome for hot swaps. I used the hot swap feature many times during longer interviews.
Monitor mount flex arm 1/4-20 to 1/4-20
This little sturdy piece of equipement makes it easy to quickly relocate and secure my monitor. I like this one in particular because it’s just long enough to move the monitor away from me for a shoulder or to quickly bring it higher up for a low shot. It’s compact and light so I always have it with me in my camera bag.
