⚡ At a Glance
- • Image Quality: Superior colour reproduction with ultra-low deviation across 350–700nm thanks to 22-layer dual-sided coated HD glass
- • Best for: Mirrorless and DSLR shooters using 67–82mm lenses who need reliable flare control and flexible filter stacking
- • Not ideal for: Setups requiring 4 x 4" slide-in filters or lenses with external diameters above 85–88mm
Clip-on matte box accepts 67–82mm lenses and uses magnetic CPL and VND filters for exposure control. Quick three-point locking and dust caps simplify field use.
Control harsh light, thanks to magnetic CPL and VND filters
VND functionality comes from combining CPL elements, offering an adjustable 2–5 stop range with hard stop limits and light transmission control to reduce crosshatching. Filters attach magnetically for quick stacking and alignment checks using marked points.
Cleaner highlights and reduced glare make bright-day shooting more consistent, helping maintain exposure without fiddly lens-side ND swaps.
Faster kit changes, with a three-point quick-release clamp
Three-point locking uses push rods on the sides and a top locking knob to secure or release the clamp rapidly, enabling tool-free assembly and disassembly.
Swapping lenses or removing the matte box between takes saves valuable time on location and cuts down setup fuss.
Wide compatibility, with an adjustable 67–82mm clamp and slim profile
Adjustable clip-on clamp covers an external diameter range of 67mm to 82mm and a slim frame is designed to avoid vignetting at focal lengths of 16mm and above on full-frame cameras. Note that lenses with an external diameter over 88mm (mirrorless) or 85mm (cinema) are not supported.
Works with many popular mirrorless and DSLR lenses while preserving the image edges, provided the lens diameter and focal length fall within the supported range.
