Blackmagicdesign PYXIS Pro Grip

Ergonomic camera side grip with aircraft grade aluminum and multiple 1/4″ and 3/8″ mounts

Stabilize your camera rig with the PYXIS Pro Grip for direct handheld control during Blackmagic PYXIS 6K or 12K camera operations. You maintain direct access to your professional cinema lenses, media slots, and audio inputs while anchoring the camera body firmly to your natural hand position, significantly reducing operator fatigue during long production days.

Operating a bare camera box during demanding live event registrations often leads to unsteady footage and difficult handling. This grip transforms the PYXIS into a practical handheld broadcast tool in fast-paced settings, giving you secure leverage to track moving subjects smoothly while navigating around crowds and staging areas. Combining an aircraft grade aluminum build with extensive mounting points creates a rigid foundation for your fully rigged production setup.

PYXIS Pro Grip Mounting and Key Capabilities

Handheld Stability for Full Frame Sensors

Stabilizing image capture on the Blackmagic PYXIS line starts with how you hold the rig. The PYXIS Pro Grip delivers the physical leverage required when managing full frame 36 x 24mm sensor detail. You gain precise handheld control over your frame, which is critical when utilizing the 12288 x 8040 resolution on the PYXIS 12K model.

Capturing up to 16 stops of dynamic range requires deliberate camera movement to preserve highlight roll-off and shadow detail. The ergonomic shape allows you to maintain balance over long production schedules in studio or broadcast environments. Operating with the PYXIS 6K sensor demands that same stability, anchoring the system firmly to your hand.

Extensive Thread Configurations and Rosette Integration

Building a custom camera rig requires flexible mounting points, and this grip system delivers a broad array of threaded options. The top mounting points feature three 3/8-inch threads and six 1/4-inch threads, giving you room to attach field monitors or wireless video transmitters without cluttering your direct line of sight.

The bottom mounting points provide two 3/8-inch threads and seven 1/4-inch threads for immediate attachment to baseplates or studio tripods. The included rosette plate mounting points add five 1/4-inch threads and four 3/8-inch threads, plus a standard rosette mounting point for articulating extension arms. You can configure the PYXIS to meet your exact production demands.

Aircraft Grade Aluminum Construction

Field reliability is essential for professional broadcast equipment. Constructed entirely from aircraft grade aluminum, the flat plate on the PYXIS Pro Grip ensures a rigid connection to the camera body without adding unnecessary bulk. This durable material guarantees that mounting threads will not strip or flex under heavy accessory loads.

The flat plate mounting points include two 1/4-inch threads and one 3/8-inch thread, offering a low-profile attachment zone for lightweight additions like a wireless receiver. Utilizing aircraft grade aluminum preserves structural integrity across your entire camera rig, giving operators on complex multicam setups reliable support against daily impacts.

Balancing Professional Lens Ecosystems

The Blackmagic PYXIS platform supports a wide variety of heavy cinema lenses, making a reliable side grip vital for balanced weight distribution. When mounting glass via L Mount or the locking EF Mount, the PYXIS Pro Grip gives you leverage to support fast cinema lenses, reducing operator fatigue during continuous event coverage.

For studio productions using the PL Mount on the PYXIS 6K or 12K, the grip provides a vital counter-contact point while your left hand operates focus rings. Securing the camera firmly against your body gives you full control over manual lens movements so you can execute complex shots while supporting dynamic weight shifts.

Streamlining Audio and Media Workflows

A practical handheld rig keeps primary connectivity fully accessible. The PYXIS Pro Grip maintains clear access to essential inputs, allowing you to route shotgun microphones into the mini XLR input with 48V phantom power without interference. This keeps high-quality audio capture fully integrated into your mobile workflow.

Timecode connections and external media remain equally accessible. You retain direct access to the XLR, 3.5mm audio input, and BNC sync input connector for timecode jamming. The grip’s profile also leaves the dual media slots clear, letting you swap high-speed CFexpress Type B cards quickly without disassembling your rig.
