A revolutionary addition to your photography and videography equipment, the Blacklight Core Mattebox is designed for extreme conditions and high-performance usage. Crafted with a robust carbon fiber core and hard-anodized alloys, this matte box is not only durable but also lightweight, making it an ideal companion for on-location shoots.
The Blacklight Core Mattebox is engineered to clamp-on to large zoom lenses and is capable of accommodating 6x6 filters. Its wide field of view is perfect for covering ultra-wide lenses, making it a versatile tool for diverse shooting requirements.
One of the standout features of this product is its innovative Reveal system, which allows for a quick and easy transition from a 2-stage to a 3-stage setup. Simply undo the screws, slide open the back, and insert another filter tray. This feature eliminates the need for costly stages and saves precious time during shoots.
The Blacklight Core Mattebox also boasts adjustable lightweight flags for superior light control. These flags, made from carbon fiber and fixed to light alloy axles, protect your lens from stray light, thereby enhancing contrast and resolution in your images.
The matte box also includes a unique adjustable glide rail, providing a mounting point for small LED lights, monitors, or a Cinetape for tracking distance. This feature adds to the product's flexibility and adaptability in various shooting scenarios.
For those using large diameter zooms and ultra-wide primes, the Blacklight Core Mattebox is the perfect solution. It can securely hold up to three 6x6 filters and connect directly to an Optimo 24-290mm zoom.
The quick-release feature allows the matte box to swing away in seconds, making it a fully functioning studio matte box. This feature, coupled with the ability to slide forward for faster lens changes, makes the Blacklight Core Mattebox a must-have for professionals seeking efficiency and quality in their work.
Finally, with the Blacklight Core Mattebox, vignettes become a thing of the past. It can cover lenses as wide as a Zeiss 8R mm rectilinear and still use 3 filter stages, even with RED Pro Zooms at 5K.
In conclusion, the Blacklight Core Mattebox is a high-quality, innovative, and professional tool that offers durability, versatility, and superior performance for all your photography and videography needs.
