Product Information

Full details

The Vocas Production Kit is designed for professional videographers and cinematographers who need to transform the Sony PXW-FX9 into a robust, shoulder-mounted rig. It excels at providing essential balance, handling ergonomics, and expanded accessory mounting, making it an ideal choice for long-form broadcast or documentary production. Users should note that this kit adds significant weight to the camera setup, which may require more heavy-duty tripod heads or support systems when switching from handheld to sticks.

Is the shoulder pad adjustable?

Will this fit other camera models?

Troubleshooting

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improved shoulder-mounted ergonomics
  • High-quality, durable components built for professional use
  • Increased accessory mounting versatility
  • Secure viewfinder locking mechanism
  • Intuitive quick-release base plate system

Cons

  • Increases the overall physical footprint of the camera

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the system, attach the USBP-15 MKII to the bottom of the Sony FX9 using the provided mounting screws, ensuring the base plate is aligned with the center of gravity. Mount the H-Cheese plate to the top handle by aligning the provided bolts with the pre-drilled holes in the Sony handle. The viewfinder bracket attaches via the NATO rail on the camera body; tighten the clamp securely to ensure no drift.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly check that all mounting screws are tight before every shoot.
  • Wipe down the wooden handgrip with a dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaning chemicals that could strip the finish.
  • Inspect the NATO rail periodically to ensure the viewfinder clamp maintains a strong, slip-free grip.
