DESCRIPTION:
The Matte Box M3 is suitable for use with a wide variety of DSLR cameras and baseplates with 15mm LWS rod (cameras, baseplates, and rods are not included). It is constructed from high-grade ABS plastic, and the included flags are made from aluminum.
The M3 height can be adjusted to match the lens of your camera when mounted on a 15mm rod system. The top and side flags are removable using two thumbscrews, and the flag hinges are lockable. The matte box fits lenses with a front diameter up to 86mm, and it is compatible with wide-angle lenses. The included anti-reflection donuts allow you fit lenses with an outer diameter of 51, 64, and 76mm as well. The M3 features two filter stages that support 4x4" filter trays and rotate 360°.
The top flag and both side flags are removable, and easily slot into the matte boxes lockable hinges that allow you to securely set the flag position so it doesn't droop into your frame.
The included anti-reflection donuts are soft and flexible, allowing you to stretch them onto lenses with varying diameters. Once mounted on your lens, the donuts prevent stray light from sneaking from behind the lens and flaring any filters you have in the matte box.
The matte box attaches to the included 15mm LWS rod clamps via a long slotted tang that allows you to adjust the height of the matte box up to almost 3" to compensate for non-standard lens to rod height.
