The Tilta Basic Kit for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K is the full cage plus what you miss first when shooting handheld: the silicone-padded Xeno top handle, an SSD holder for the Samsung T5, the 15mm rod holder for the battery grip and a right-angle HDMI adapter. The cage itself holds the body at three points and offers 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, cold shoe receivers, an ARRI rosette and a NATO rail.
The Basic Kit adds to the full cage the silicone-padded Xeno top handle, an SSD holder for the Samsung T5 for external recording, the 15mm rod holder for the battery grip and a right-angle HDMI adapter that spares the port in the camera body. That makes the rig ready for handheld work.
The right side arm module can be removed, turning the full cage into a half cage or a bare L-bracket. The lighter build suits a gimbal, the full cage handheld and tripod work. Two screws do it — you need not take the whole cage off the camera.

With the bottom plate removed, the cage fits the body together with the original Blackmagic battery grip. The bottom plate expansion bracket braces against the grip, so the build stays rigid and the camera does not rock even with a heavier lens.

The top plate meets the 1/4"-20 thread on top of the Full Frame body while two screws hold the cage from below. Three points of contact stop the body from twisting even with a heavy lens or a matte box hanging off the camera.

Around the frame sit 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads with locating pins, cold shoe receivers, an ARRI-compatible rosette and a NATO rail for side handles. Accessories go exactly where you need them and will not rotate out of place.


You build the rig to suit the job: every thread has a locating pin beside it, so an EVF bracket, an SSD case, a run/stop cable, a rod holder or a baseplate will not twist out of alignment.

The bottom plate carries several 1/4"-20 threads for quick release plates and an Arca-Swiss profile, so the camera drops straight into the clamp of a DJI RS 3 or RS 3 Pro gimbal — and from there onto the tripod.
Note: the BMD EVF does not fully clear the top plate of the cage. Take care when fitting and removing it so the viewfinder is not damaged.

The dimensions and weight are those of the cage alone. The manufacturer does not state the weight of the complete kit.
