Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the cage, align the Sony FX2 body with the cage frame and secure it using the provided mounting screws at the base. Ensure the HDMI clamp is positioned appropriately to support your specific cable thickness. For maintenance, periodically check that all screws are tightened using a standard hex key to account for vibrations during travel. Keep the metal components clean by wiping them with a dry, lint-free cloth, and avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the matte black finish. Ensure the threads remain free of debris to maintain compatibility with various standard 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 accessories.
