4x5.65 Carbon Fiber Matte Box (Clamp-on) with Single Backing

Amazing product and I don?‘t think anyone beats it for the value however why would they make spherical hard mattes but no anamorphic mattes? It would also be nice if you could add barn doors, but not the end of the world especially for how nice the build quality is and the overall price point this comes in at

I mostly get gear from rental houses for jobs, but was looking for a MB for small personal projects. I?‘d say the construction is on par with an Arri LMB, only limitation is the lens backs are slower to switch out and it?‘s probably a tad heavier.

This is significantly better then any Bright Tangerine MB I?‘ve used for a fraction of the cost.

This is a solid Matte Box that?‘s very well built and feels sturdy- could never guess the price I bought it for! However, like with most camera gear, 1 missing element of an item is capable of overshadowing all its pros hence making me reluctant on using it as much and that js the side flags or the lack of at least a mount to be able to modify it by adding one on each side.

Other than that it?‘s the best thing you could get on a budget considering the overall functionality, price, look, and built! Nothing beats it so far.

I?‘ve been using this matte box for the past 4 years. The quality is great, lightweight and has the ability to be used with a wide variety of cinema lenses. Now that I purchased another camera, it only makes sense to pair both cameras with a great Matt box.

It is very comfortable to use with out any difficulties and made my job easy. It added descent look to my Red komado. I am very happy. Thanks to Tilta.

Most people will tell you that you only need a matte box to look more professional and charge more. Others will tell you that it's necessary and to go with Polar Pro. Both statements are kinda trash. Matte boxes give you additional control over how light affects you image like flares and hazing. The best thing about them is the filter choice. Enter Tilta's matte box solution. It clamps on, it's lightweight, it's got 3 stages for rotating polarizers, NDs, hot mirrors or IR Cut filters, diopters and more. It's a major leap above Polar Pro and if you want variable ND, you can just get a rotating polarizer and a 4x5.65 CP filter and stack them - that's how VNDs are made. This is the best bang for the buck and the next best option is almost 6 grand from Arri. Tilta has outdone themselves with this!

Look, you pay $100 for a Fotga Matte Box, you're gonna get a $100 matte box made of cheap plastic. You pay a bit more for a Tilta, you're getting solid metal and high quality plastics. Materials matter when you're carrying this thing around. It's easily the best matte box for the price.
Minor gripe is with the fitting of the forced mattes that come with the box. They insert, and are held in place by 4 small bumps inside the plastic frame of the box. However, they take a lot of effort to put in, and that exertion causes those bumps to get scratched up easily. Scratches mean resale value loss for me, so I have to give it a knock for this. Otherwise, it's stellar.
