Description
The Tilta Mini Matte Box Kit is a lightweight flare-control option for DSLR and mirrorless cameras. It weighs about 140 g on its own, so it suits small rigs and gimbals better than a full-size matte box. In addition, the included carbon fibre top flag helps keep stray light off the lens.
Two filter options
The front slot takes one standard 4 x 5.65-inch filter without a separate tray. For example, you can quickly add a neutral density or diffusion filter between setups. Screw-in filters can also thread into the included adapter rings when a lens needs them.
Fitting your lens
Each adapter ring attaches to the lens, and the matte box then clamps onto the ring. The kit includes 67, 72, 77 and 82 mm rings, so check your lens thread before the shoot. However, it doesn’t suit lenses with telescoping front elements when using the rod support.
Rod support and mounting
A 15 mm single-rod attachment supports the matte box from below, which reduces strain on the lens. Meanwhile, 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads and shoe mounts give extra options for small lights or microphones.
