Ultimate Customisation for the VENICE Extension Mini
The Expert Kit for Sony VENICE Extension System Mini is a comprehensive rigging solution designed to enhance your camera extension while keeping a compact, streamlined form factor. Combining Bright Tangerine’s LeftField Mini Baseplate with quick-release functionality and KASBAH Hand Grips, the Expert Kit gives you everything you need for handheld, static, or gimbal-based shooting.
This complete camera cage allows maximum flexibility without compromising access to the VENICE Extension’s ND filter slot or vents.
Clean, Compact, and Functional
- Full Cage Coverage: Purpose-built Top, Rear, and Side Plates form a wraparound cage with multiple mounting points (1/4", 3/8", MAP M4).
- LeftField Mini Baseplate: 60% smaller than standard baseplates while retaining full functionality. Features the Open•UP system for fast ARRI-standard dovetail mounting.
- Riser: Adjusts the VENICE Extension to the 15mm LWS standard height.
- Top Bar Bracket & 15mm Rod Support: Mount EVFs, monitors, and lens accessories with ease.
Handheld and Modular Shooting

- Sliding Top Handle: Adjustable forward or backward, with integrated 1/4", 3/8", Cold Shoe mount, and QD socket.
