What's Included
Description
Our Expert Kit for Blackmagic PYXIS is the ultimate cage for Blackmagic shooters. This high-quality accessory bundle has been carefully designed to reduce downtime and stress, with broad compatibility and quick-release capabilities to help transition your PYXIS from setup to setup.
Fully modular, the Expert Kit can be used for any shooting scenario: from complex cine setups to run-and-gun rigs.
Dual Dovetails
Depending on the needs of your shoot, our Expert Kit offers two options for quickly releasing your setup. The Leftfield Mini baseplate offers a stable rod mount, with our patented Open•UP system allowing you to lift your entire rig off from any ARRI standard dovetail. The Universal Dovetail, meanwhile, mounts to the top of the LeftField Mini: for quick swapping from Manfrotto tripods, DJI gimbals or third-party mounts using the same standard.
Monitor Mounting
The Expert Kit also contains all the components of our Monitor Mount Kit, for simple mounting of external monitors to your setup. A handy alternative to the stock PYXIS EVF, the uniquely versatile Universal Monitor Hinge can easily be mounted to any NATO rail – including the rod-mounted option included here – for easy reviewing of footage.
Advanced Rigging
Of course, the camera is just the canvas: depending on what your shoot requires, you’ll be decorating the PYXIS with a range of potential accessories. The Advanced Cine Kit helps you fulfil that potential with the PYXIS. With our dedicated PYXIS Top Plate, you have a range of accessory mounting points from 1/4″ and 3/8” anti-twist threads to MAP M4 points and QD sockets.
A Handy Setup
If static shots aren’t what the project calls for, you can smoothly capture handheld footage with your choice of handheld options. On top of being lightweight, the Expert Kit also includes an ARRI rosette on the Cheese Plate for compatible side handles, and a D-Style Master Handle on top. This comfortable and extendable handle has a rubber inlay on the grip, to avoid strain on your hand during protracted shooting sessions.
Part of the Blackmagic System
Bright Tangerine’s range of dedicated accessories for the Blackmagic PYXIS allow filmmakers to elevate their shooting setup in any situation. Durable and dependable, each component has been precisely engineered to solve problems and reduce downtime on set.
Instructions/Assembly
The Expert Kit for Blackmagic PYXIS comes with all required components and screws. You will require your own 2.5mm, 3mm and 4mm Hex Key – along with a flathead screwdriver – to install it.
Riser to Baseplate
1. Align the Riser’s mounting holes with the two M4 threads on the outer edge of the LeftField Mini Baseplate – on the same side as the release clamp.
2. Use a 3mm Hex Key to tightly screw the M4 threads through the Riser and the Baseplate.
3. Align the profile of the middle part of the Riser, aligning the M4 screw threads and ensuring that the Riser plate is centred.
4. Use a 3mm Hex Key to tightly screw the M4 threads through the Riser and the Baseplate.
5. Line up the orange safety stop with the corresponding port on the LeftField Mini Baseplate, sliding it in until the M4 screw threads are aligned.
6. Use a 3mm Hex Key to tightly screw the M4 threads through the Riser and the Baseplate.
Universal Dovetail to Camera
1. Align the 1/4” and 3/8” screws with the corresponding threads on the base of the PYXIS.
2. Use a flathead screwdriver to tighten each screw into place.
Dovetail to Riser
1. Slide the dovetail plate in through the front of the baseplate, until it is optimally aligned and balanced. Dovetails can only be loaded from the front.
2. When in place, use the ratcheting lever clamp to secure the Riser.
Top Plate to Camera
1. Align the captive 3/8” screws of the Top Plate with the corresponding threads on the camera – the “G” logo and “PYXIS” text should be on the front end.
2. Use a 2.5mm Hex Key to tightly secure the Top Plate in place.
Top Handle to Top Plate
1. Align the two captive 3/8” screws with the corresponding slots on your top plate or bracket of choice – the screws can slide to adjust.
2. Use a 4mm Hex Key to attach the handle to the plate.
Top Bar Bracket to Top Handle/Spacer
1. Align the Handle or Spacer’s nub with the inlet on the Top Bar Bracket, aligning the screw threads. If you are using the Spacer, align the Top Handle on the other side, ensuring the Spacer is flush against both components.
2. Insert the two M4 x 25mm screws through all components.
3. Use a 3mm Hex Key to tighten the screws, ensuring all three parts are secured.
Monitor to Monitor Block
1. Align the monitor block’s 1/4″ screw with the thread on your monitor’s bottom or side.
2. Use a 4mm Hex Key to screw the block to the camera.
Monitor Block to Monitor Hinge
1. Align the block with the hinge bracket, ensuring that the locating pin(s) correctly slot through to the monitor.
2. Align the two screws with the threads on both the monitor block and the hinge bracket.
3. Use a 3mm Hex Key to screw all components together.
Compatibility
The Expert Kit for Blackmagic PYXIS is designed to maximise the compatibility of the Blackmagic PYXIS with industry-standard systems and components. It features a baseplate and Riser that set the camera to the correct height for DJI gimbals, and a Universal Dovetail that offers quick-release compatibility with Manfrotto tripods and DJI gimbals.
The Expert Kit does not set the PYXIS to the 15mm LWS standard height on the LeftField Mini baseplate. For that you will require the separate LeftField Mini Standard Riser (62.5mm).
