The CBK-FS7BK Build-up Kit adapts Sony's ground-breaking PXW-FS7 and PXW-FS7M2 camcorders for shoulder-style shooting typical in ENG (Electronic News Gathering) applications such as interviews and documentaries. This all-in-one solution enhances the FS7 series for ENG operation with enhanced ergonomics, integrated wireless audio and powerful networking capabilities for seamless integration with next-generation wireless workflows such as XDCAM air. It's a compelling alternative to adding multiple third-party components, reducing additional cabling and maintaining excellent camera balance.

Extension Unit

Ideal for field-based news production, the extension unit adds a wireless audio receiver slot for compatibility with receivers such as DWR series and URX series.

Advanced Network Capabilities

Built-in networking enables streaming and file transfer via Wireless LAN or 4G/LTE connection. QoS Streaming with Dual-Link connection improves image quality and stability via multiplexing of two cellular networks.

Extra Connectivity

Operational flexibility is enhanced with interfaces for genlock/timecode for multi-camera operation and RAW output up to 240fps. Shooting time is extended by compatibility with Sony BP-GL and BP-FL series batteries.

Optimized Weight Balance

The shoulder plate features a new sliding mechanism with a wide adjustment range, ensuring an optimum weight balance with various E-mount and B4 lenses.

Optional B4 Lens Mount Adaptor

Adding the optional LA-EB1 Mount Adaptor (available separately) allows the attachment of B4 lenses to the FS7 and FS7 II, enabling shooting at high zoom ratios with a deep depth of field, as is typically required for news production.
