ARRI Releases Professional Cage System for Fujifilm GFX ETERNA 55 – Modular Design, BUD Compatibility, NATO Rails

ARRI has expanded its Pro Camera Accessories (PCA) lineup with a dedicated support system for FUJIFILM’s GFX ETERNA 55 large format cinema camera. The modular cage features ARRI’s BUD base plate for tool-less compatibility with ALEXA 35 accessories, integrated NATO rails on the side brackets, flexible top plate options for ARRI or FUJIFILM handles, and a new Lightweight Tripod Plate (LTP-1) with Touch and Go 35 snap-plate functionality. The FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 has been generating significant interest since its release, offering cinematographers access to a large format 44x33mm sensor with a 55mm diagonal in a compact form factor, and we have reported extensively about it including regular check-ins with FUJIFILM at various trade shows. Currently, we are also reviewing the camera and we will likely release the review within the next weeks. As with any new cinema camera entering the professional space, the accessory ecosystem takes time to mature. ARRI’s new cage system addresses this gap by bringing the company’s well-established rigging standards to FUJIFILM’s first dedicated cinema camera, allowing rental houses and owner-operators to integrate the ETERNA 55 into existing ARRI-based workflows. The support system follows ARRI’s familiar design philosophy that we have seen in their cages for the Sony BURANO, Canon EOS C400, and Sony Venice Extension Mini. For those who have worked with these previous PCA offerings, the ETERNA 55 cage will feel immediately familiar while incorporating some new elements tailored to FUJIFILM’s camera body.
