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.

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?

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

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!

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.

Stoked to get mine!

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

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

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

This is marvelous

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.

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?

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?

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

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.

HOLY COW this is good.

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

Is the version for the ZV-E1 still coming out this month?

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....

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

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

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

Is this compatible with the Sirui FX3/30 cage?

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

Maybe this is just me, but if there is no pass through on the battery door for the dummy battery to work properly with the door closed... It just kind of feels like it we aren't supposed to be powering the camera that way. Sony's own literature states it should be powered by USB-C if you want to power it externally that way. It's kind of crazy to me that people will spend thousands of dollars on their equipment and just ignore the power warnings.

Is the cineback made out of aluminum?

So I can't use my XLR Handle with this Unless I also buy an XLR handle extension kit as well? My unit is literally on the way. iF that is the case I'll be sending it back for a refund.

are we getting a Lumix s5IIx version?

This is awesome!!! Gold Mount pleeeeeease!!!

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

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

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

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

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.
