Required Gear
You only need one thing to get CineBack™ to work with your FX3 or FX30. The SmallRig 4183 FX3 Cage OR Tilta Full Cage for FX3 V2. We recommend the SmallRig cage for reasons mentioned in the video above.
Optionally you can power the camera from the D-Tap jacks on CineBack™ with either a D-Tap to FZ100 Dummy Battery or a D-Tap to USB-C with Power Delivery into the cameras USB jack. We've used the Alvin's Cable version as well as the Kondor Blue cable without issue and also really dig the Kondor Blue D-Tap to USB adapter.

Makes my FX-3 way easier to rig accessories on and helps organize the cables. The Cineback helps with the ergonomics of the camera. My only gripe is that you need to had a riser to my Tilta LWS 15mm to have the height for a lens support bracket when using a zoom lens. Besides that everything about the Cineback I have liked so far.
I bought the Cineback for my FX30 in the Gold mount and love it. Everyone that sees my rig is awe struck especially since it's paired with an 40mm Atlas Orion lens. It looks very professional and I like that I am cable to recharge my battery from the D-Tap on the side of the battery plate.
Although the FX3 is still a great and capable camera, the CineBack is a great addition that breathed new life to it. I enjoyed the CineBack so much that I bought another and i’m looking forward to the XLR extension restock.
