Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

All camcorders and DSLRs are compatible with this design.

One French flag, as well as two adjustable side wings, are included in the kit. 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.

The unit has a swing away design at a 90-degree angle that allows for quick lens changes, as well as height adjustment. Instead of moving the matte box's mounting position (which may be blocked by other rig accessories or require rod extensions to fit), it can simply be slid outwards by undoing one screw.

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.

2 dual-purpose filter trays, one of which can rotate 180 degrees and supports 4x4" filter sizes

Questions & Answers

Will it work with a 67mm diameter?

It will, in fact. It's what I use with a 77mm lens. It includes a variety of inserts to fit various barrel sizes.

I understand it comes with a 103mm donut ring, but can it be used without it, and if so, what size is it? (I have a 114mm lens, can it be used?) ?

You can take the ring off, but I'm not sure if it will fit a 114mm wrist.

What kind of plastic parts does this come with? It appears to be a couple of knobs, which could be fine, but the description does not specify the material of the flags. ?

I counted three plastic knobs that tighten to the rails - two on the side and one on the bottom. The cylinder spin knobs on the rest of the cylinders are made of aluminum. The flags are made of aluminum and are very sturdy!

Is this compatible with the BMPCC 6k?

Because the bmpcc 6k lens is set off center, the center did not match up in my experience, and I had to return it.

It's hard to believe this is only a little more than $100! BUY IT NOW BY CLICKING ON THE BUTTON BELOW! I mean, before they figure out that they can sell these for twice as much!! I've been using and selling matte boxes for a long time

5/5

After seeing it here and reading a few reviews and watching a few videos on YouTube, I decided to purchase it. When it arrived, I was still unprepared for the pleasant surprise that awaited me when I opened it. It's fantastic, and it's even better quality and more impressive than I had hoped for! I don't think I would be unhappy if I had paid twice the price I did. If you've been debating whether or not to buy one, now is the time to do so. You won't be dissatisfied with the results!.

Isn't exactly in the right place

3/5

For the features, the price appears to be very reasonable. The French flags feel good and appear to be of good metal quality, but the turning mechanism that holds them is designed in such a way that when you turn it forward, it loosens, and you'll have to tighten it with an Allen wrench once you've reached your stopping point. br>br>The filter trays are made of cheap plastic. br>br>The 15mm rail is manufactured to the manufacturer's specifications and will fit your rail system. The entire matte box swivels, which is a nice feature. The height will be determined by your setup. br>br>However, it isn't centered, which is the most significant flaw and renders it useless. Is it possible that there was no quality assurance? Is it possible that I received a dud? In any case, I've used more expensive matte boxes in the past and would prefer to spend a little more money for better quality. br>br>Unfortunately, I would not advise others to use this product.

The quality is poor

3/5

There were missing screws on the product when it arrived. I was told by the seller that I was mistaken. They didn't believe me even after I sent them photos. I went out and purchased the necessary screws to put it together so that I could use it. It's poorly constructed, making rattling noises, and all of the screws need to be secured with locktite to prevent them from loosening.

It's not only affordable, but it also performs admirably

5/5

I was looking for something affordable and came across this, which I think looks and feels great. The first few times you try it, the articulating part is difficult to figure out.

A fantastic mattebox at a reasonable price

5/5

It works as well as it looks, and it includes a variety of donuts for various lenses.

I use it on a Canon C70 with a tilta cage; the more expensive ones did not fit the camera well; this one, at a third of the price, fits the camera well and does the job for me
