Bright Tangerine Misfit Kick Base Kit

Explore the cutting-edge capabilities of the Misfit Kick Base Kit, a next-generation matte box designed to meet the dynamic needs of modern cinematographers. This kit arrives equipped with two versatile 4 x 5.65" filter trays, ready to enhance your filmmaking experience. The Misfit Kick stands out as a highly adaptable matte box, offering multiple mounting options including clip-on, rod mount, or swing-away configurations, catering to a variety of shooting scenarios.

The core of the Misfit Kick features an innovative, patented reveal stage design that allows for a seamless transition from a 2-stage to a 3-stage matte box without the need for additional hardware or tools. This ease of operation is ideal for on-the-go adjustments in the field, ensuring that you can adapt to changing light conditions and creative demands swiftly.

To accommodate a broad range of lenses, the system can be completed by adding a Frame Safe clamp adapter, which is designed to fit lenses with diameters ranging from 80mm to 143mm. These clamp adapters incorporate the new Frame Safe design, offering an exceptionally wide field of view that is particularly beneficial when using large format sensors paired with wide-angle lenses.

The Misfit Kick's filter trays are secured by a novel spring system and a protruding ridge, eschewing traditional ball bearings for a more reliable and tactile locking position. This design provides cinematographers with increased confidence when loading filters, especially in high-stakes environments. For added filter protection, a filter guard can be attached to the sunshade's bottom.

Safety is paramount when filming in dynamic conditions, such as from a tracking vehicle, drone, or jib. The Misfit Kick addresses this with a safety loop that serves as a secure tethering point for a safety wire or lanyard, ensuring your equipment remains safe at all times.

For cinematographers seeking precise control over lighting and contrast, the Misfit Kick can be further customized with optional accessories such as a top flag, side flag, or hard mattes. These additions are instrumental in managing flares and refining image contrast to achieve your desired visual outcome.

The Misfit Kick's construction is both durable and lightweight, featuring a sunshade made from high-grade carbon fibre and a reveal system crafted from CNC cut hard anodised aluminium. This robust build quality does not compromise on portability, making the Misfit Kick an excellent choice for filmmakers who require both resilience and ease of transport.
