Blackmagic PYXIS Pro Handle

The Blackmagic PYXIS Pro Handle is designed to transform the PYXIS 6K or 12K into a professional broadcast-ready setup. By bolting directly to the top of the camera with included 3/8"-16 screws, it provides a sturdy grip that maximizes convenience for capturing on-the-go footage from any angle. This ergonomic handle is a central hub for functionality, featuring an integrated record start/stop button with a tally light, an assignable zoom rocker for compatible lenses, and two customizable function buttons. It also offers expandability through a top-mounted cold shoe and two 1/4"-20 threads for additional accessory attachment.

Technically, the handle features a high-quality pivoting HD OLED viewfinder equipped with a 4-element glass diopter offering ±4 focus adjustment and a built-in digital focus chart. For audio, it includes a built-in stereo microphone with an ultralow noise floor, allowing you to record separate audio tracks without an external mixer. All signals—including video for the EVF, audio, and control data—are transmitted via a locking USB-C cable that ensures a secure, consistent connection. Additionally, the handle provides dual USB-C ports to facilitate a streamlined link between the camera and a separately available PYXIS Pro Grip.
