Wooden Camera designed this cage and accessory package around the exact dimensions and functions of the Sony VENICE 2 and its Rialto 2 extension. Its low-profile, modular design moves easily between camera and extension setups while keeping lens centre. The kit includes the Quick-Release Top Plate System, Faceplate Cage System, Baseplate System, Ultra Handle System (Sony VENICE) and Side Hook-and-Loop Plate (Sony VENICE 2), the first three each made for the VENICE and VENICE 2.

Quick-release top plate

The Quick-Release Top Plate System slides onto the camera's integrated top dovetail, so a rigged plate goes on or off in one movement without tools. It has a dovetail lock and safety release, and four 1/4"-20 screw points fix it to the body when quick release isn't needed. The Side Hook-and-Loop Plate fits the top plate's right side, adding hook-and-loop space for accessories.

Faceplate cage

The Faceplate Cage System fits the VENICE 2's existing sensor-block screw locations, so the camera can switch to Rialto 2 extension mode with its accessories still attached. With everything mounted to the faceplate, the top and base plates release and slide off, leaving an independent sensor cage. It has DLC-coated stainless steel rosettes, configurable swing-out tape hooks, a dedicated rod-mounting point for lens control motors and EVF cable clips. Its lens-centred 15mm Dual Rod Clamp takes lens support, lens motors or a handheld grip when the baseplate is off.

Baseplate and Ultra Handles

The Baseplate System pairs the ARCA Baseplate (Sony VENICE, VENICE 2) with an ARCA Base Plate. It's low profile, fits any make of bridge plate that uses ARRI standard height and keeps the centre of gravity low for adding shoulder pads and other accessories. Double-locking, lens-centred front and rear rod clamps resist torque and rotation from lens motors, and access holes let the camera convert to a Rialto 2 setup without removing the baseplate. The Ultra Handle System (Sony VENICE) brings two 5" handles, a 3" handle, 1" and right-angle extensions, front and rear uprights and 24 colour rings. The complete system weighs 2389.6 g and measures 216 x 170 x 125 mm.
