The Tilta full cage has been on my Sony FX3 for most of the time that I've owned the camera, and it's by far my favorite accessory. Not only is it just a well-made cage that adds a lot of versatility without adding bulk, it has a hand grip! This might seem like a small detail, but it's changed so much about how I'm able to use this camera and I think it's definitely something worth checking out for yourself.
The cage DOES work on the FX3 AND FX30 since both cameras have the same external features/dimensions.
•UPDATE: It looks like Tilta doesn't make this exact cage anymore, but Sirui has a shockingly similar model available: geni.us/CsNU07 (Amazon)
If you prefer to use Tilta gear, they do have an updated cage, but the hand strap is now a separate accessory:
