Tilta Camera Cage for Blackmagic PYXIS 6K Launched

Camera Cage

by Heath McKnightToday

The Blackmagic PYXIS 6K ‘box-style’ camera was unveiled at NAB 2024. While the features are impressive, there isn’t much in the way of mounting points. Now, Tilta has announced their new camera cages for PYXIS 6K, available in a Pro Kit, Base Kit, and a Full version, which should help to address the need for more attachment points. Let’s dive in!

The Blackmagic PYXIS 6K features a full-frame 36 x 24mm sensor, wide dynamic range, a built-in optical low pass filter, 12-bit Blackmagic RAW and H.264 proxy recording, and more. Blackmagic says it is the “most riggable” camera in the world, and they have the accessories for it. However, there aren’t a lot of mounting points, which is why companies are releasing camera cages for the PYXIS 6K, including the new options from Tilta.

Tilta Camera Cage features

There are three options available, including the Pro Kit, Base Kit, and a Full version. Features depend on the specific cage configuration, ranging from the fully equipped Pro Kit to the more basic Full option. All cages feature a sleek modular design and are constructed from aluminum alloy.
