Detailed Product Description

Jumbo Matte box with French flag for wide angle & fish eye lenses

The mattebox is specifically designed for the use with any DV, HD, or Beta camera

A matte box is a camera accessory that essentially does the same thing as a lens hood and also mounts in front of the lens, but usually includes adjustable fins called French flags. These can be moved and adjusted to reduce lens glare. A matte box is an important device for quality photography and film making.

The special design of the top and side flags allow for an extended bellows effect for maximum light control. This matte box design is the ultimate for performance in the field. The matte box avoids the first filter stage being blocked by the microphone, allowing it to rotate 180°.

ROTATING FILTER HOLDERS

There are two filter holders with Matte Box. Rotating filter holder enables user to eject or install square filter without disturbing microphone or flash settings. One filter holder is stationary while the other one is rotationary in nature.

The French Flag (the light shield above the lens) can be adjusted in order to block out stray or unwanted light. Adding Side wings completes the mattebox and gives the operator total control over the light striking the CCD. It also allows the use of professional quality filters. One filter stage rotates allowing the use of special effect filters and the second filter stage is stationary for use with conventional filters or grads.
