This looks great. I use the first version of the small rig matte box and the issue I have with that is its a bit bulky even though it’s lightweight and you couldn’t use circular filters. This one looks less bulky and will be easier to travel with.

Can you stack circular filters, how would you go about doing this. My lens has a 72mm filter thread, I have to step up from 72mm-95mm to attach the box, I think that’s correct. Would I then have to step down to screw on my 82mm thread filters on the front?

My most lenses are 49mm thread & my filters are 52mm I usually use my filters adding a bronze 49-52 step up ring , my question is can put this 52mm adapter on my step-up ring and add mattebox on it ?

Hi David, excellent video answering many questions. I shoot landscapes vertically then stitch into panoramas, wondering if the lid can be moved from one side to the other or can the matte box be easily turned around with the lid on the suns side. Cheers, Craig

Thank you for a great review! There are two things I wonder about: How wide can you get before the matte box is visible, did you try on anything wider than 24mm, how about 16-35mm? Also am I right assuming this is not attachable to a lens that you can’t screw a filter to, for example the 12-24mm?

@@DavidOastler So you'd need step up rings from the smaller lens to the 72mm attachment of the matte box, then the circular ND would go into the 72mm attachment? Thanks for the review! You saved me from buying the old version.

@TerenceKearns 3 жыл бұрын

I'm so glad I pre-ordered this instead of going with smallrig's current gianormous cenema matte box. Especially since MFT is my platform (two G9s). I feel that a HUGE plus with this matte box system is that the filter mount allows you to add those circular filters where as the equivilent product from Tilta does not allow you to do that. You are instead forced to buy those astronomically expensive 4x6.65 filters. I just priced them and they are between AU$400 and AU$600 each!!!! Holy shit I can NOT afford that right now. They must be made from diamond slabs forged millions of years ago by alien civilizations. Nice review.

Hey David! 👋 hope you're well. hmm. interesting product ! How much weight can a filter thread of (mostly) plastic sony lenses hold though ? 🤷‍♂️ before you answer (lol) here's what happened to me: I had my 28mm f2 sitting on the TV table (not very high at all...u know the low and long ones ?) I had a step up ring and a filter on there. and one of the cats knocked it on to the carpet . broke the front plastic clean off !! I had to superglue the front disc of plastic back on. so now I'm very very weary of putting too much on the filter..I mean.. I know it was dropped... but... geez... wasn't far!!
