Bright Tangerine Sony FX5 LeftField Mini Expert Kit

Engineered for demanding productions, the Expert Kit provides extensive mounting options, seamless quick-release functionality, and a compact design that maintains the FX5’s portability while significantly expanding its capabilities.

Fast Workflow Transitions with Open•UP Technology

At the heart of the Expert Kit is Bright Tangerine’s LeftField Mini Baseplate, featuring the innovative Open•UP quick-release mechanism. This patented system allows users to quickly slide the camera along ARRI-standard dovetails for balance adjustments or completely remove the camera from the mount in seconds.

Whether you’re moving between tripod, shoulder rig, gimbal, or handheld configurations, the Open•UP system dramatically reduces setup times and keeps productions moving efficiently.

Industry-Standard Compatibility

Designed around the 15mm LWS standard, the Expert Kit ensures seamless integration with a wide range of professional cinema accessories. Easily mount follow focus systems, matte boxes, lens supports, and other essential filmmaking accessories without compromising balance or usability.

This standardised setup enables a streamlined workflow across multiple camera platforms and professional productions.

Dual Quick-Release Design

Efficiency is everything during production, and the FX5 Expert Kit is designed with rapid deployment and breakdown in mind.

The system separates into two main components:

• FX5 Camera Cage
• LeftField Baseplate System

Using the integrated Arca-style quick-release receiver, operators can quickly remove the camera from the rig without needing tools, making transport, storage, and setup significantly faster and more convenient.

Extensive Accessory Mounting Options

The Sony FX5 Expert Kit provides an impressive range of mounting solutions for professional accessories and workflow customisation.

Available mounting options include:

• 1/4″-20 accessory threads
• 3/8″-16 anti-twist mounting points

Whether you’re adding monitors, wireless video transmitters, audio equipment, handles, or power solutions, the Expert Kit offers secure mounting without compromise.

Designed for Comfortable Handheld Operation

The Expert Kit forms a complete protective cage around the Sony FX5 while maintaining excellent ergonomics.

The included Right Side Plate enhances handheld operation with a comfortable grip and additional mounting points, while the NATO Wing Grip provides an offset hand position ideal for handheld and documentary-style shooting. This configuration improves camera handling while maintaining easy access to camera controls, ports, and media slots.
