PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The long-awaited Blackmagic box camera is finally here with the Pyxis 6K and now the Pyxis 12K. The KONDOR BLUE Pyxis Cage is up to any rigging task. Each plate in this modular cage system is feature-packed to elevate the production experience. 

The Top and Bottom Plates take up half of the area front to back. These plates are fully symmetrical from left to right. This is ideal for several use cases—for instance when operating on a gimbal, this cuts the cage weight in half while providing essential mounts. Cages A & B include two sets of Top and Bottom Plates and can be rigged with our Pro-Blade SSD Top Handle with our new dual NATO mounting kit. This solution provides insane record limits (1, 2, or 4TB drives) with maximum stability. 

The Top and Bottom Plates can be reversed and mounted under-slug for challenging jib and/or dolly shots. Much like the Sony FX6 and Burano cages, the front ARRI mounts are 60mm apart and work perfectly to mount 15mm rods with the KB M12 Anti-Twist Mounts. For true power freedom, run both the native Sony BP-U battery and a V-Mount or Gold Mount plate off of the back of the Top Plate or with a Baseplate kit.

The Left and Right Side Rosette Ribs have been optimized for multiple operation modes. They include an integrated ARRI style 60-tooth rosette with M6 mounting standard, NATO rail with a safety pin, and multiple ¼”-20 and ⅜”-16 anti-twist mounts. Best of all, they can be used at either end of the camera and even flipped upside down to place the rosette to the bottom—an excellent option for those looking to rig extension arms and grips for shoulder and Easy Rig configurations. The Side Rails are also compatible with Drop-in filter lens adapters such as the MOFAGE Poco and Breakthrough Photography DFM adapters.

The Side Plate provides a wide range of options from dual cold shoes, anti-twist mounts, removable safety-pin NATO, in-line bubble level, and more. The Side Plate can be mounted with the NATO at the top or bottom of the plate. The NATO rail can also be removed so tripod plates can be mounted in either orientation for vertical shooting. The mounting row is directly centered with the sensor for consistent paralaxing when used on a gimbal or tripod. Two 3mm anti-twist pins are also stored in the back of the plate for accessories that need to be mounted which can be done through the Side Plate’s center mount. 1.5mm and 3mm hex tools are magnetically mounted to the plate for easy access.

Built for adaptability on the go, each plate mounting bolts are held captive in place. Plates mount with as little hardware as possible while remaining insanely solid on the rig. Speed, customization, and flexibility are baked into the KONDOR BLUE’s Blackmagic Pyxis Cage’s DNA. Combined with your creativity, this setup will have no bounds.

More and more cameras are enabled to record via USB-C to an SSD. We’ve worked closely with SanDisk Professional and Panasonic to ensure an incredible experience when using the SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD Mag (up to 2TB). These drives can sustain breathtaking read/write speeds and up to 1,000 MB/s when using it with the KONDOR BLUE SSD Top Handle.

Every feature of the Pro-Blade SSD Handle for SanDisk USB-C recording has been meticulously considered and optimized. Not only does the handle perform as an incredible top handle, but it can also be used as a side handle. The NATO rail that runs along the base serves as a great platform for dialing in balance and positioning for either orientation. The NATO features an integrated safety stop giving you confidence that the handle won’t slip free. 

The drive slides smoothly into the handle and has a recessed cutout on top for users to be able to grab the pull tab of the drive to remove. The USB-C interface on the front of the grip is nested into a vertical NATO rail which provides great protection without any extra fuss. The vertical NATO also pairs perfectly with our NATO to NATO Swivel Tilt Monitor Mount.

The KONDOR BLUE Pro-Blade SSD Handle also features a cold shoe with a spring-loaded safety stop and 2x ¼ 20 ARRI style mounts. The mounting NATO clamp can also be oriented in parallel or perpendicular modes and is held in place with two captive M4 bolts and anti-twist pins. The NATO clamp stem can also be removed altogether to work with KONDOR BLUE’s NATO Clamp to ARRI Rosette and Quick-Release Rosette Module. 

Best of all, the KONDOR BLUE Pro-Blade SSD Recording Handle is also comfortable! The combination of the side cross hatchings, diamond plate style G10, and finger cutouts make this grip an ergonomic dream. This handle is built like a tank but lights like a plane to be a workhorse for years to come.

* Ships with a 12" right-angle KONDOR BLUE USB-C to USB-C cable

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Who doesn’t love a good camera multi-tool? In our years of prepping on and off set, we’ve used the gamut of tools and been left wanting. Have you ever fallen in love with a tool only to have an essential bit strip or break? Or is a critical tool not included causing you to have to carry multiple…multi-tools? Ya, it got annoying for us too so we set out to make one tool system to be the EDC (Everyday Carry) Multi-Tool.

The KONDOR BLUE EDC Multi-Tool is a bit-based camera multi-tool using the ever-popular ¼” shank bits which allows us to maximize the amount of bits you can carry, limit weight, and provide unlimited configuration. Bits are better, period. They’re non-proprietary to the tool and if one of the hardened still bits happens to strip, break, or get left behind, it’s easy to replace. 

The Zippo-inspired flip lid on this EDC Multi-Tool with Bit Driver has an ever-so-satisfying magnetic closure. Within the bit chamber, 5x ¼” x 1” bits can be stored. At the end of the tool, 3x additional ¼” x 2” bits can be stored and held in by spring-loaded ball bearings. These slots have even been calibrated to have playful tactile feedback. Press the bits in and they’ll spring back into place making the EDC Multi-Tool double as a fun fidget toy. The stock 2” bits are 3mm, 4mm, and flat head are the most commonly used amongst camera accessories so the extra length will be helpful for a range of applications.

The EDC Multi-Tool features two main modes: Driver and Torque. In either mode, bits are held magnetically in place. Driver mode uses bits at the top of the tool for a quick screwdriver-like feel. Torque mode inserts the bits on the side—either at the end or the center—to provide more leverage when needing to get a little extra push when tightening or loosening a bolt. You can even load bits at multiple locations at a time speeding up rig assembly time.

Multi-tools often seem to have legs of their own so we’ve included a lanyard loop at the top of the belt clip so you can know where your camera multi-tool is at all times. The EDC Multi-Tool also features a bubble line level and a large magnet for holding spares. Precision machined from aerospace-grade aluminum, the KONDOR BLUE EDC Multi-Tool is in a league of its own. It is lightweight, incredibly strong, and durable. It’s an easy add-on to fit any of your assembly workflows.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

We took our 501 Baseplate back to the drawing board to give it a complete overhaul to add in some much-needed functionality. At the top of the list was to get as many of our camera cages to 85mm sensor to rail center offset for matte box compatibility. There are many height-adjustable baseplate options, but most start off too tall, mitigating the need for vertical height adjustment. It’s also easy for them to become loose and wobble or slip during a shoot. We addressed this by machining precise 1mm adjustments with corresponding laser engravings to make dialing in the baseplate height easy and accurate. We even have a guide for each cage we offer to let you know the exact position your baseplate should be set to.

We’ve also improved the 15mm rail clamps to have over double the clamping force without marring your rails. The M4 ratchet knobs are also captive and you won’t need to worry about losing them. Whether you’re using the 501 Drop-in Plate or mounting directly to the Baseplate Riser Block, you’ll be able to mount multiple bolts to any camera cage to prevent twisting. Swapping out mounting options is a breeze with slotted access from the underside of the baseplate. 

You have options for tripod mounting solutions as well. Mount tripod plates directly to the base with ⅜” and ¼” helicoil mounting holes or use the built-in dovetail clamp which pairs perfectly with our Lightweight Dovetail Plates.

As with all KONDOR BLUE products, long-term usability and functionality were meticulously considered with each cut, curve, and function. We know you’ll enjoy the added flexibility of the all-new KONDOR BLUE Adjustable 501 Baseplate.
