Sony FX6 hire in London from £145/day: full-frame 4K, built-in variable ND, 120fps, with Tilta cage, EVF and 2 CFexpress cards. FX6 vs FX3 vs C70, FAQs.
Looking for Sony FX6 hire in London? The FX6 is one of the most-hired cameras on our shelf, and you can collect one from Yellow Cactus in Stoke Newington, N16 for £145 a day, as a full working kit rather than a bare body.
It's Sony's full-frame Cinema Line camera built for small crews: a 4K full-frame sensor with dual base ISO (800 and 12,800) for clean low-light images, Sony's electronic variable ND so you can ride exposure without swapping filters, fast and reliable autofocus, and up to 120fps in 4K for slow motion. It takes Sony E-mount lenses and records to CFexpress Type A or SD cards.
Sony FX6 key specs (from Sony):
What's in our Sony FX6 kit:
The Sony FX6 product page always shows the current kit and rates. We also stock FX6 vertical mounts and brackets for social-first content; you'll see them in the list below. Lenses, media, V-mount batteries, monitoring and sound are all on our full kit list, and E-mount, EF and PL glass is on our lens hire page.
Sony FX6 vs FX3 vs Canon C70:
If the job needs a bigger 6K sensor and shoulder-mount ergonomics, the FX9 is the next step up, and if the brief calls for 8K or a global shutter, look at our RED V-Raptor X. For long handheld days, add an Easyrig.
Still deciding? Our FX6 vs FX3 hire guide compares ND, outputs, size and power side by side.
Building an FX6 package with us:
Our FX6 documentary and interview kit guide puts these together for typical shoots, and our guide to the best DZO lenses for the FX6 covers coverage and adapters.
What crews hire the FX6 for: documentaries and observational filming, corporate and brand films, interviews (often as the A camera with an FX3 as B camera), events, music videos and vertical content for social.
Light it in the same order: our Aputure lights run from small LED panels up to the Storm 1200x, and the Nanlux Evoke 2400B is there when you need a lot of punch.

The Sony FX6 is £145 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 FX6 body with Sony EVF, top handle and side grip, a Tilta cage with 15mm baseplate and rods, a V-mount extension, 512GB and 260GB CFexpress Type A cards with a reader, mains power and cables. The product page always lists the current kit.
Hire the FX6 if you want built-in variable ND, SDI out, timecode and a body that handles long documentary or interview days. Hire the FX3 if size matters most: gimbals, car rigs and crash cams. Many crews take both, an FX6 as A camera and an FX3 as B camera, since the colour matches.
They suit different jobs. The FX6 is full frame with SDI out and Sony E-mount; the C70 is Super 35 with an RF mount. We hire the FX6, FX3 and FX9 rather than the C70, so you can match Sony colour across cameras.
Yes. It has Sony's electronic variable ND, from 1/4 to 1/128, so you can change exposure smoothly without swapping filters or changing aperture.
The FX6 has a Sony E-mount, so it takes Sony E-mount lenses directly, and EF or PL lenses with an adapter.
Yes. Add our PL to E-mount adapter and the FX6 takes PL cinema glass, including our DZO lenses. Full-frame sets like the DZO Catta Ace and Arles cover the whole sensor; Super 35 zooms like the DZO Pictor and Tango are best used in the FX6's Super 35 mode.
It's one of the most popular choices for both. Variable ND, dual base ISO, two XLR inputs, timecode and reliable autofocus mean one operator can light, record sound and ride exposure without stopping. Many crews pair it with an FX3 as a matching B camera.
Yes. We stock a Sony FX6 vertical mount and a Tilta FX6 vertical bracket, both listed on this page.
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.
Yes, if you opt in to Spikes in your Kit Locker. Full-price hires earn 50% of the confirmed hire total as Spikes, and each Spike is £1 off a future hire before VAT.
