With Sony’s Rialto 2 Extension System for the Venice 2, the sensor block can be fully separated from the camera body with no degradation of image nor compromise to functionality. This allows greater flexibility for mounting in tight spaces, on stabilisers, cranes, or rigs where compact camera configurations are essential.
It also maintains full compatibility with Venice 2 features, offering reliable connectivity, lightweight handling, and professional-grade performance across demanding production environments.
Enables full separation of sensor block and camera body
No loss of image quality or camera functionality
Lightweight and compact for versatile rigging
Ideal for gimbals, cranes, and confined spaces
The Rialto 2 Extension System has been used on many notable productions such as:
Top Gun: Maverick – The original Rialto system was used to fit multiple cameras inside the cockpit of fighter jets, enabling intense, in-cockpit action shots.
Bookworm – Shot in New Zealand, cinematographer Daniel Katz used the Rialto system for handheld, nimble camerawork through challenging terrain, including dangerous cliff scenes.
Gran Turismo – The Venice 2 Extension System was employed in high-speed automotive shoots to allow creative, aerodynamic camera placements around race cars.
