Sony Cinema Line hire in London: FX3, FX5, FX6 and FX9 from £100/day, with media and power, matching colour for multicam. Compare all four. N16.
We hire four cameras from Sony's FX Cinema Line from our counter in Stoke Newington, N16: the Sony FX3, the new Sony FX5, the Sony FX6 and the Sony FX9, from £100 a day. The FX3, FX6 and FX9 go out as working kits rather than bare bodies, and because all four share Sony's S-Log3 and Cinema Line colour, they cut together well as A, B and C cameras.
Which FX camera should you hire?
Live day rates for the FX3, FX6 and FX9 are listed below, and each product page has the current kit list and weekly price. The FX5 is price on request for now: call or email us and we'll confirm the rate, kit and availability.
Still deciding? Our FX6 vs FX3 hire guide covers size, ND and outputs, our FX5 vs FX6 guide covers the two newest choices, and our FX9 vs FX6 guide covers the bigger bodies.
What about the FX30 or FX2? We don't hire either of those. If your brief needs one of their features, call us and we'll tell you honestly whether the FX3, FX5, FX6 or FX9 will do the job.
Lenses for the FX line: all four are Sony E-mount, so E-mount glass fits directly. Our PL to E-mount adapter opens up our cinema lenses, from DZO lenses to the TLS Canon FD primes, and the Metabones EF to E adapter takes EF glass. The FX9 kit already includes an E-mount to PL adapter. If you want a softer, older look, read our piece on vintage lenses on the Sony FX6, FX3 and FX9.
Building the package: for interviews, our FX6 documentary and interview kit guide puts camera, sound and light together. For social cut-downs we have an FX6 vertical mount, for water work a Salty Surf underwater housing that fits the FX3, and for long handheld days an Easyrig. Everything else, from media and batteries to monitoring, is on the lens hire page and the full kit list.
Kit is collected from and returned to Unit H1, 2 Leswin Place, London N16 7NJ, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Stock is limited, so book early if you need a matched pair. If it's your first hire, please register a production account before ordering. Questions? Call 020 7898 3322 or email rentals@weareyellowcactus.com.
The Sony FX3, FX5, FX6 and FX9. The FX3, FX6 and FX9 go out as kits with media, power and a cage or shoulder rig, and every product page lists exactly what is included. Ask us for the current FX5 kit.
Our Sony FX line starts at £100 a day for the FX3. The FX6 and FX9 rates are shown on this page and update live, and the FX5 is price on request until it is on our online booking. Three days are charged as 2.5 days, four as 3 days and Monday to Friday as 3.5 days.
Yes. We now stock the Sony FX5, which Sony announced in July 2026. It is not on our online booking yet, so call 020 7898 3322 or email rentals@weareyellowcactus.com for the rate, kit and availability. Our Sony FX5 hire page has the key specs.
No. Our Sony Cinema Line cameras are the FX3, FX5, FX6 and FX9. Our Salty Surf underwater housing fits both the FX3 and FX30, but we only hire the FX3 body.
The FX6 and FX9 both have Sony's electronic variable ND. The FX3 and FX5 do not, so add a variable ND or a matte box with filters.
They share Sony's S-Log3 and Cinema Line colour, so they intercut well. Shoot the same picture profile and white balance on each and you will have very little to match in the grade.
Yes. Add our PL to E-mount adapter for the FX3, FX5 or FX6. The FX9 kit already includes an E-mount to PL adapter. Full-frame PL sets like the TLS Canon FD primes or DZO Catta Ace cover the whole sensor.
From Unit H1, 2 Leswin Place, Stoke Newington, London N16 7NJ, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Collect after 4pm the day before and return by 11am the day after, and those aren't charged as hire days.
