| MATTEBOX FRESH IN FROM CHINA |
Barely a few hours back in Amsterdam and DHL stopped by to drop me a package containing an impressive Chinese mattebox. This is my first mattebox and since I haven't had any sleep for 36 hours, I am glad I managed to set it up without any major problems... Although I couldn't get a camera mounted properly with this configuration. I had a problem fitting different lenses so that they line up nicely with the opening in the mattebox.
First impression: feels like a pro piece of gear but the french flag is really hard to screw into position tight. I like the swing-away feature and the two slots for the 4x4 filters that rotate independently.
There's no manual included how to set this thing up properly. Not that it seems terribly complicated but a few tips/instructions would be nice. I'll write more about this mattebox soon. And if anyone knows of some good, affordable 4x4 filters, drop me a line!

Hey Jeroen
ReplyDeleteHow much was that? Looks OK, Can you adjust the vertical position of the box? Up and down?left to right? for easy line up.
Maybe you have to modify it a little,total rebuild.
Did it come with rails aswell?

It doesn't seem to be able to adjust sideways or up and down... I'm going to look and see how others work with this system.
ReplyDeleteRails were mine. (BTW: are you ThoughtGrenades?)
It does adjust up and down, I just found out.
