FILMCITY MB-600 Power Camera Sunshade Matte Box

Lightweight, durable, and suitable for both run-and-gun and studio shooting, the FILMCITY MB-600 Power Camera Sunshade Matte Box is a 15mm rod-mount matte box for lenses with 95mm or smaller outer diameters. It is height adjustable on the rod clamp to allow use with a variety of cameras. It includes removable top and side flags. The frame and rod clamp are aluminium, and the matte box is made of durable polymer.

Both 4 x 4" filter stages rotate a full 360°, which is useful when using graduated or polarizer filters. Included with the matte box is a fabric donut, or "Nun's Knickers", which keeps light from leaking around the lens to flare any filters used. Interchangeable aspect ratio masks help prevent extraneous light from entering the matte box and potentially flaring the lens.

  • Height can be adjusted up and down by about an inch
  • The matte box clamps onto 15mm LWS rods
  • For lenses with 95mm or smaller outer diameter
  • The matte box can be separated from the riser
  • Includes removable top and side flags

  • The side flags have additional extension pieces, and all flags can articulate and lock in position
