Essential
Lexar Professional Silver Series CFexpress Type B 256GB · £239
Media at the speed this camera needs for its top recording mode.
Also worth it
Sony BP-U70 Battery · £339
A spare BP-U pack: the camera takes it directly, and one pack runs the body and a monitor for hours.
Also worth it
Manfrotto Befree Live Twist Carbon Fibre Tripod Kit · £299
A video tripod with a fluid head rated for this kit, for smooth pans and tilts.
Also worth it
SmallRig mini Follow Focus F40 3010D · £62
A follow focus for geared cine lenses: repeatable focus pulls between marks.
Also worth it
Tilta Mirage Matte Box · £99

Also worth it
Atomos Shinobi 7 RX · £699
A monitor that takes the camera's SDI output: a bigger, brighter picture for focus and framing. At 2,200 nits it stays readable outdoors.
Also worth it
SmallRig Cage Kit for Blackmagic PYXIS 6K / 12K 5281 · £181
A cage made for this body: mounting points for the monitor, mic and handle.
Also worth it

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
