Sony FX3 hire in London from £100/day: full-frame 4K 120p, S-Log3, IBIS, with Tilta cage, 2 CFexpress cards and 3 batteries. Kit list and FAQs. N16.
The Sony FX3 is one of the most-requested cameras on our shelf, and it's easy to see why. It's a full-frame cinema camera in a body small enough for a gimbal, a car rig or a crash mount, with Sony's S-Log3 and Cinema Line colour, dual base ISO for low light, and internal recording that suits everything from documentaries to music videos and commercials.
Sony FX3 key specs (from Sony):
At Yellow Cactus you can collect an FX3 from our counter in Stoke Newington, N16. The current day rate is shown below, and the product page lists what comes in the kit and the weekly price. If you want to go bigger, we also have the Sony FX6 and FX9 in the same family, so you can match colour across A and B cameras, and the Sony A7S III if you need a stills-style body.
What's in our Sony FX3 kit:
We can also help you build out the rest of the camera package: E-mount and PL lenses, variable NDs, media, V-lock and NP batteries, monitors and wireless video are all on the same site. For water work there's a Salty Surf underwater housing that fits the FX3 and FX30.
Where the FX3 earns its day rate:
No built-in ND on the FX3, so add a Tiffen variable ND sized to your lens, and a DJI Mic 2 or proper lav kit for sound.
Lens options: Sony E-mount lenses fit directly. With our PL to E-mount adapter or the Metabones EF to E adapter you can run cinema glass, and our DZO lens hire page has full-frame and Super 35 options. Our guide to the best DZO lenses for the FX3 explains what covers what.
A few practical notes:

The Sony FX3 is £100 a day at Yellow Cactus. Three days are charged as 2.5 days, four as 3 days and Monday to Friday as 3.5 days, and your basket shows the exact total before you send the order.
The FX3 body in a Tilta cage with a 15mm LWS baseplate, two 15mm rods and a top handle, 256GB and 160GB CFexpress Type A cards with a case and reader, three Sony NP-FZ100 batteries with a charger, and USB cables. The product page always lists the current kit.
No. Unlike the FX6, the FX3 has no internal ND, so add a variable ND or a matte box and ND filters. We stock Tiffen variable NDs in 72mm, 77mm and 82mm.
Yes. It has a Sony E-mount, so it takes E-mount lenses directly, PL lenses with our PL to E-mount adapter and EF lenses with a Metabones adapter. Full-frame DZO sets such as the Catta Ace and Arles cover the whole sensor.
It's one of the best bodies for it. Caged with a light lens, it balances easily on a DJI RS3 Pro or RS4 Pro, and in-body stabilisation smooths out walking shots.
Hire the FX3 when size and weight matter most: gimbals, car rigs, crash cams and tight spaces. Hire the FX6 for built-in ND, SDI out and long documentary or interview days. Our FX6 vs FX3 guide compares them side by side.
Yes. Collect after 4pm the day before and return by 11am the day after, and those aren't charged as hire days. Weekends count as a single hire day.
