    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.

    Amazing product.

    Love everything about it! But be prepared for extra costs when sending to europe. I had to pay another €95 to import it after i already paid €300 for the cineback and €41 for the shipping.
    Within a week i got my cineback home!

    Great addition to rig!

    Great little product. A little pricey for what it is but still a fantastic addition to my rig.

    Since I purchased this from the UK, I spent £70 on delivery from the US. A sacrifice that had me mulling over it for two weeks but eventually caved. Upon arriving to the UK, I was informed by UPS (useless postal service) that they couldn't deliver to home as I hadn't paid the further £72 in government tax and brokering fee. (Brokering fee?)

    Anyway, UPS attempted delivery the following day after I paid the extra £72 but couldn't deliver as the gate Infront of my home blocked their access. (I don't have a gate).

    I then had to drive to the next town where they had left it in a small shop.

    All in all, nightmare experience! The product however is solid and my camera rig now looks banging!

    If I knew this would have cost me an extra £142 in fees, I wouldn't have bothered.

    Thank you for the review Alastair! So sorry UPS was such a hassle to work with! I understand customs but all that???! We'll be in touch with them to make sure this isn't a regular issue. First problem like this I've heard of.
    That aside, glad CineBack is treating you well and thank you for taking the time to write this review.

    Best,

    The answer to all my problems!

    I spent a lot of time and money trying to find the right set up for my FX3 and nothing ever seemed to fit everything the way I wanted it too. This rig made everything so easy. No more having to pick and choose what I add on to the rig on a shoot. I can add it all or nothing if I want. This was such a time and life saver!
