Product Information
Full details
The Blackmagic Design PYXIS Pro Grip is designed specifically for documentary filmmakers and ENG camera operators using the Blackmagic PYXIS full-frame cinema camera. It provides a tactile, ergonomic way to stabilize your camera for run-and-gun shooting, offering quick access to recording and lens controls directly from your fingertips. While it significantly improves handling for handheld work, it is a dedicated accessory that requires a compatible PYXIS camera body to function, limiting its use as a standalone external controller.

Can I use the grip on other Blackmagic cameras?

Is the zoom rocker compatible with manual cinema lenses?

How do I clean the grip's surface?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the grip, ensure the PYXIS camera is powered off before securing the mount to the side of the chassis. Use the provided USB-C cable to establish a data connection between the grip and the camera's side port. Once connected, navigate to the camera's settings menu to confirm the grip is recognized; you can then assign specific camera functions to the custom buttons via the interface.
For care, wipe down the grip with a dry, lint-free cloth after shoots. Avoid exposing the USB-C interface to moisture or dust, as this can interfere with connectivity. Periodically inspect the strap's attachment points to ensure the hardware is tightened, as repeated use can occasionally loosen tension.
