Product Description

All camcorders and DSLRs are compatible with this design.

You can easily swing the mattebox away from the tripod and rail system without disturbing the camera. You can open it from one side for free, and it's frequently used in the photographic process to replace lenses and filters. It's simple and convenient to use.

One French flag is included, as well as two side wings that can be adjusted. Each of the three flaps can be positioned and locked in place to provide the maximum amount of shading without getting in the way of the shot for different focal lengths.

A set of four "donut" rings is included in the package. (Sizes are 103mm, 76mm, 64mm, and 51mm.) Light from the back of the matte box can be blocked out with one of these rings, leaving only the camera lens visible. The four sizes of donuts are slightly flexible, allowing them to fit almost any lens diameter.

This Fotga DP3000 Matte Box (M3) is a professional device that can be used with any industry standard 15mm rail system and is universally designed to fit all DSLRs and camcorders.

Questions & Answers

For this matte box, we used a variety of camera brands and types. Is it correct to assume that this would work perfectly with a Lumix FZ2500?

It can be adjusted to fit your needs perfectly. It comes with a variety of lens baffles, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your lens diameter.

Is it true that this matte box is three pounds? 11 kilos?

I haven't weighed it yet, but it appears to be around 3 pounds.

Selected User Reviews For Fotga DP3000 Matte Box Swing Away Quick Lens Change with French Flag & Filter Holders Fit 15mm Rail Rod Rig,for Canon Nikon Sony Panasonic GH4 GH5 GH5s DSLR Camera

Buyers should be wary of low-cost items that have not been subjected to any form of quality control

3/5

After mounting my lens to my rig and discovering that no matter how hard it tries to align with the specific donut, it will not center, I am extremely disappointed. A gap of more than 1/4" (inch) can be seen when looking at the lens from the front. If there is a gap in the donut, it will not do its job of blocking light. It's mounted on a rod system that's been aligned and centered to prevent misalignment. This error is caused by improper milling of the matte box connection arm.

On a movie set, I was inconvenient

3/5

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to return it. The flags are not well secured by the knobs, and they easily fall off. It's easy to loosen the 1/4 screws on it. The matte box is asymmetrically balanced on the rods.

It was a fantastic deal

4/5

This matte box isn't perfect, but for the price, it's a great deal. Two 4x4 filter trays in each stage, one of which is rotatable. The top brow, side flags, aluminum, and plastic all have a tough feel to them. It's fantastic to have a swing away feature as part of this, as it makes switching lenses much easier. I really wish there was a plastic doughnut design because the foam ones are so easy to deform. The flag pivoting screws needed to be tightened at first, but I'll be using this matte box for a long time.
