Bright Tangerine Sony FX5 NATO Top Plate

Bright Tangerine Sony FX5 NATO Top Plate

Easy Rigging – Build out your rig with a range of mounting options: 3/8", 1/4", QD sockets, a Cold Shoe and NATO Rail.
No Sudden Moves – The Top Plate is secured in place in multiple points.
Extra Rigging – Add our optional Filler piece to get even more real-estate on your rig.
Secure Handling – A built-in magnet makes it easy to centre compatible Top Handles.

The FX5 has the potential of a VENICE in the body of an FX3 – a winning combination. If you want to make the most of that power, then the NATO Top Plate gives you everything you need to gear it out. Mount accessories from a range of mounting threads: there are your classic 1/4" and 3/8” anti-twist screws, as well as some QD sockets (including one offset to match our Right Side Plate), M4 threads and a Cold Shoe mount with built-in safety catch. Would you believe us if we said it doesn’t even stop there?

Quick-Release Convenience

If you’re not fond of bolt-on accessories, why not make things easier? The “NATO” in “NATO Top Plate” is thanks to a built-in quick-release rail, with safety stops at either end – as well as a line of mounting threads. We’ve also added a magnet to help you centre our new Create Top Handle, meaning no more guesswork as to whether your rig is balanced.

Of course, if you want to make rigging even easier, you can give yourself more real-estate with our removeable Top Plate Filler. Clip it into place and install it with a few turns of a Hex Key, and give yourself access to even more screw threads – with the trade-off that you can’t access the FX5 shoe mount.

Rigid Rigging

If your rig is insecure, your team tends to be insecure, too. The NATO Top Plate keeps things sturdy: mounting via three screws directly to the FX5’s body. Once bolted in place, the Top Plate is rock-solid and ready for you to build out with all manner of accessories. Our aerospace-grade aluminium means that this Top Plate will stay set-ready through any rough treatment.
