SmallRig Mini Matte Box for Mirrorless DSLR Cameras - Control the Light in Your Shots

If you're a photographer or videographer, you know how important lighting is to get the perfect shot. However, sometimes the light can be too strong, or there may be extra glare or reflections in your photo. This is where the SmallRig Mini Matte Box 3196 comes in! This small but powerful tool is designed to prevent sunlight or other light from causing glare and flare, and it also gives you control over the image on the screen.

Compatibility - Fits Multiple Standard Lenses

One of the best things about the SmallRig Mini Matte Box is its vast compatibility with various standard lenses. This Mini Matte Box is compatible with lenses ranging from 67mm to 95mm, which means you can use it with different lenses, including round filters. Its clamp connector is compatible with different adapter rings (optional model 3383) that allow you to use this Matte Box with various sizes of the lens - from Φ52-95mm to Φ86-95mm. The adapter ring of the Matte Box fits different round CPL and ND filters up to Φ92.5mm.

Carbon Fiber Box and Top Flag

The body of the SmallRig Mini Matte Box 3196 is designed using durable, lightweight carbon fiber material. It weighs only 125g (without adapter rings), making it portable and compact, perfect for outdoor or location shoots.

The top flag, also made of carbon fiber, blocks sunlight or strong light and is also designed to prevent internal reflections. Additionally, the flag's anti-reflective design helps prevent unwanted light from entering the lens. With this top flag in place, you can take your shots without worrying about glare or reflections.

Multiple Installation Options

One of the standout features of the SmallRig Mini Matte Box is its multiple installation options. The filter tray 3319 can be quickly and smoothly mounted onto the matte box via a NATO clamp. This feature allows for the installation of round filters or multiple 4 x 5.65" plug-in filters of up to 4mm in thickness at the same time, meeting your multiple filter needs.

Furthermore, the filter tray 3319 provides all-around protection of the filter with multi-point silicone. It is easy to store and prevents scratches and fingerprints while replacing plug-in filters.

1/4"-20 Threaded Holes

The Matte Box features four 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the top, allowing you to attach other SmallRig accessories like Magic Arms 2065. In addition, the Matte Box has anti-twist 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the bottom that suit the 15mm LWX Rod Support 2663. With this feature, you can achieve better shooting and avoid camera shake or movement.
