Amber7Cine has introduced the new FXLyre Microphone mount for Sony FX6 and FX3/FX2/FX30. It’s a small but thoughtful fix for one of Sony’s most stubborn quirks: the top mic holder that has been around for nearly twenty years. If you’ve ever dealt with rattles, rumble, or a loose feeling handle, this one is here to save you some real headaches.

Two friends in the UK started Amber7Cine, bringing together backgrounds in filmmaking and software development. They began 3D printing solutions for common film gear problems, with the mic mount being one of the biggest pain points for Sony shooters. The FXLyre Microphone mount is their clean, drop-in answer that keeps the Sony body profile while adding proper isolation.

We’re always on the lookout for practical upgrades that make cameras easier to use. In the past, we covered the Deity ASM1 Adjustable Shockmount with Built-In XLR Connector Holder, which reduced handling noise by isolating the mic and securing the XLR cable to stop cable rumble. The FXLyre Microphone mount follows a similar idea, bringing a focused solution to Sony shooters.

Why the FXLyre Microphone mount exists

Sony’s mic holder has been largely unchanged for nearly twenty years. By design, it is a basic clip, but it brings issues. The stock mount often picks up handling noise and bass rumble, and that only worsens with time. On the FX6, the plastic top handle can feel less sturdy, and on an EasyRig, it is even noisier. Documentary or handheld shooters will feel that problem right away.

The FXLyre Microphone mount fixes those issues without adding extra arms or clunky workarounds that disrupt the camera’s form factor. It gives operators a cleaner, quieter way to capture audio.

Key features of the FXLyre Microphone mount

• Direct replacement for Sony OEM mic holder
• Compatible with Rycote and Radius shockmounts
• Tool-less removal with OEM screw option
• 30° or 0° angle choices
• Optional offsets from 0 to -4
• Platform sizes in 20 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm
• Built to snap first under impact
• Supports Radius RAD 1, RAD 2, Rycote Singles, Rycote Rodes, Rycote Duos, Rycote Nanos

The FXLyre Microphone mount uses trusted Radius and Rycote suspension parts that cut down vibration and self-noise. The angle options give flexibility for headroom or XLR access. Offsets keep shotgun mics out of the frame, even when longer barrels are used. The mount is reversible, tool-free, and built to protect the handle if the camera takes a hit.

Camera compatibility with FXLyre Microphone

• Sony FX3: 0°, 30°, –15° angles
• Sony FX6: 0°, 30°, –15° with offsets from –1 to –4

The FXLyre Microphone mount is already supported on the FX3, FX6, and FX30. Support for the Sony FX9, PXW Z Series, PXW FS Series, and HXR NX Series is coming soon.

The quiet upgrade

Sony cameras deliver strong pictures, but their mic mounts often don’t keep up. The FXLyre Microphone mount brings stability and quiet in a compact design. For handheld, doc, or EasyRig setups, it helps keep your sound usable without changing how you pack or shoot.

Price and availability

On Amber7Cine’s website, the base mount only for FX3 and FX30 is listed at £24 ($32.40). Full kits start from £46 ($62.10), depending on shockmount options.
