Sony has announced the latest addition to their CineAlta lineup, the VENICE Extension System Mini (CBK-3621XS). This new accessory, designed specifically for the VENICE 2 digital cinema camera, offers significant size reductions while maintaining the imaging capabilities of its larger counterpart. The new Sony VENICE Extension System Mini features the VENICE 2 8K sensor in a substantially smaller form factor. The unit measures 63.9×103.2×60.2mm / 2.5×4.06×2.37in (W×H×D), which Sony states is approximately 70% smaller than the existing VENICE Extension System 2 (CBK-3620XS). The head unit weighs approximately 0.54kg / 1.2 lbs with the E-mount and 1.05kg / 2.3 lbs with the PL mount adapter. The system includes a custom drop-in ND cartridge system with nine glass Neutral Density filters, including a clear ND option. This filter system has been designed to match the VENICE 2 camera’s specifications. The Sony VENICE Extension System Mini mounted to a VENICE 2 camera, connected by cable.

The new 4.5m / 14.8 ft cable measures 7.6mm in diameter—3.3mm thinner than the existing model’s 10.9mm / 0.43in cable—and can be detached for easier rigging in confined spaces. An optional 12m / 39.4 ft cable (CBK-12C3621) will be available for situations requiring greater distance between the camera body and head unit. VENICE 2 compatibility and mounting options The system is compatible with both the VENICE 2 6K and 8K models. Importantly, VENICE 2 6K users will...
