The Sony Rialto Mini Extension System delivers full VENICE 2 image quality in an ultra-compact, lightweight form, allowing the sensor to be separated from the camera body for unmatched flexibility in tight spaces, gimbal, vehicle and specialty rig setups.

Sony RIALTO MINI Extension System


The Sony Rialto Mini Extension System redefines creative freedom for professional cinematographers working with the VENICE 2. By separating the full-frame 8.6K sensor block from the main camera body, Rialto Mini delivers the same legendary VENICE image quality in a dramatically smaller, lighter and more nimble form factor — ideal for handheld, gimbal, POV, vehicle-mounted and tight-space shooting.

At approximately 70 % smaller than previous extension systems and roughly the size of a smartphone, this compact unit comes complete with a built-in drop-in ND filter set, detachable flexible cable, and interchangeable E-mount/PL support with Cooke /i metadata capability. Its lightweight design and modular connectivity make it perfect for immersive production workflows
