SmallRig Lightweight Matte Box for Mirrorless DSLR Cameras Compatible with 67mm/72mm/77mm/82mm/114mm Lens - 2660

If you are looking for a matte box that can block the sun or any other light source, SmallRig Lightweight Matte Box 2660 is the perfect accessory for you. It can help prevent glare and lens flare, allowing you to capture clear images every time. The matte box is compatible with cinema or DSLR lenses and comes with interchangeable mounting systems. It has a carbon fiber box and top flag and weighs only 238g without the top flag.

Wide Compatibility

One of the great features of this matte box is its wide compatibility. It comes with a 114mm clamp that allows you to mount it directly onto a 114mm cine lens. The included 67 to 114mm, 72 to 114mm, 77 to 114mm, and 82 to 114mm threaded adapter rings allow you to use the matte box with lenses of different diameters. This means that you can use the matte box with different lenses, giving you more flexibility and options when shooting.

Supports Two Filters

SmallRig Lightweight Matte Box 2660 supports two 4 x 4 or 4 x 5.65" filters without the use of filter trays. It includes four adapter rings to attach the matte box to the lens. The filters can be easily pushed out from the side without leaving fingerprints on the filters by unscrewing the top thumbscrew. This means that you can control the amount of light entering your lens by using different filters, giving you more control when shooting.

Four 1/4"-20 Accessory Threads

The matte box has four 1/4"-20 threads on top that allow you to mount additional accessories. This means you can customize the matte box to suit your needs and preferences. You could use these threads to mount a microphone, a light, or any other accessory that you need for your shoot. Having this ability to customize the matte box means that you can work more efficiently and get the most out of your gear.

Top Flag

The included carbon fiber top flag helps block veiling glare or bright reflections from striking your lens. It can be folded down to cover the front of the matte box and provide protection to the front of your lens. This means you can keep your lens safe while shooting and also ensure that you get the best possible image quality.
