Review Summary
The Chrosziel Mattebox 450W-R20 brings professional shading and filtering solutions to Sony's PMW-EX1. The 450W-R20 Mattebox is loaded with the benefits operators have come to expect from Chrosziel. The Mattebox 450W-R20 is a true 16:9 housing sporting a sleek design that fits well with most popular camcorders. The basic unit features a 16:9/4:3 wide angle housing for compatibility with prime lenses as wide as 16mm (35mm Academy) without vignetting.
The Mattebox 450W-R20 comes with a filter stage for two independently rotating 4x5.65/4x4 filter holders. The smart design provides ample room for the easy manipulation of filters - such as vertical grads - to any desired position. For a secure mount, the Mattebox 450W-R20 comes with a center bracket for use with 15mm lightweight support rods.
A one-sided quick-lock mechanism anchors the mattebox system to the 15mm lightweight support (optional accessory) with a simple twist of a knob. The standard articulating French Flag protects against flair and loss of contrast. The French Flag can be teamed with optional side wings for precise manipulation of light.
