Review Summary
The Chrosziel Matte Box 456-30 Academy Ring Kit for HDSLR Cameras consists of a 456-R20 matte box, a French flag, a filterstage for 3 individually rotating filter holders, three 4 x 5.65/5 x 5 filter holders, a 130mm clamp-on rear plate, a 130:110 mm step-down ring and 2 flexible stretch rings (110:50-85mm and 110:75-98mm). It is ideal for handheld and full-production studio HDSLR cameras.
The 456-30 matte box offers a wide angle (16:9/4:3) housing for a lens as wide as 14mm (35mm Academy) and eliminates the effects of vignetting. Equipped with a filterstage for 3 independently rotating 4 x 5.65/5 x 5 filter holders, the matte box provides sufficient space for adjusting the position of the filters.
Provided with a French flag, the Matte Box 456-30 Academy Ring Kit allows you to control the angle of light and eliminates lens glare and flare and it can be coupled with optional side wings for accurate light adjustment. To adapt to different HDSLR lens openings, the kit contains a 130:110mm step-down ring and 2 flexible stretch rings (110:75-98mm and 110:50-85mm).
In addition to a 130mm rear plate, the kit also contains a center bracket for use with the optional 15mm lightweight support rods. An optional swing-away bracket, attached to the back of the matte box housing, allows for quick and efficient lens changes.
