One of the hottest new cameras to be released this year at NAB 2024 was the Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K – a long-awaited “box” style camera hearkening back to Blackmagic Design’s roots. The impressive camera boasts a full-frame sensor, 6K resolution, and incredible dynamic range- but limited attachment points for accessories that you’re sure to want. Seeing a problem, XLCS Designs now offers a pretty cool solution, in what they call the “Full Metal Jacket.” Let’s see what sets this cage apart from others on the market. For those who want more freedom As mentioned above, Blackmagic Design created the PYXIS camera with limited flexibility in terms of accessory mounting points. The desire of the Australian-based company would be for the owner to invest in BMD accessories such as the URSA Cine Handle, PYXIS Monitor, and URSA Cine EVF (Electronic View Finder), just to name a few. Built specifically for the L-Mount Blackmagic PYXIS 6K, XLCS Designs’ new cage brings 300+ threaded mounting holes, NATO rails, a rosette mount, cold shoes, and 15mm rod support points. The single-piece machined aluminum build protects against drops or knocks from gear like C-stands while keeping all ports accessible and compatible with BMD accessories. This setup allows comprehensive customization options without sacrificing cable access or accessory compatibility. It’s a thing of beauty for those who value their $3k purchase.
