Blackmagic Design PYXIS Rosette Plate
The Blackmagic Design PYXIS Rosette Plate is a specialized mechanical accessory designed to add industry-standard mounting points to the Blackmagic PYXIS 6K camera body. It is part of the modular ecosystem created for the PYXIS, allowing it to transition from a compact "box" camera to a fully rigged cinema system.
Core Functionality
-
Arri-Standard Rosettes: Provides a high-strength, serrated rosette mount that is compatible with Arri-standard accessories. This allows for the secure attachment of handgrips, extension arms, and other ergonomic supports that require a "no-slip" locking mechanism.
-
Side-Mount Versatility: Typically mounts to the side of the PYXIS chassis using multiple points of contact, ensuring the plate does not twist or shift under the weight of a heavy handle or extension.
-
Ergonomic Expansion: By adding rosettes directly to the camera body, operators can mount handles at various angles, which is essential for transitioning between handheld, shoulder-mounted, and low-angle shooting styles.
Technical Features
-
Machined Construction: Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum for a balance of high durability and low weight.
-
Multiple Accessory Threads: In addition to the central rosette, the plate often includes several 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes (with Arri-standard anti-twist locating pin holes). This allows for the simultaneous mounting of monitors, wireless transmitters, or cable protectors.
-
Seamless Integration: Designed specifically to match the unique hole pattern on the sides of the PYXIS 6K, maintaining the camera's compact footprint while adding professional functionality.

Operational Insight
The PYXIS Rosette Plate is fundamental for users coming from the URSA Mini or traditional cinema platforms. Because the PYXIS is a box-style camera, it lacks native side handles. This plate enables the use of the Blackmagic URSA Side Handle or third-party handgrips. When used in pairs (one on each side), it allows the PYXIS to be rigged with a "dual-handle" setup for maximum stability during handheld operation, especially when using heavy cinema glass.
