Rated 5 out of 5

A must-have kit for the ND-less camera bodies out there.

Impeccable build quality and functionality of both the Mattebox and VND from Tilta. For anyone that is running a camera missing internal ND (FX30 for me), I highly recommend ponying up the cash to get this kit because you won't regret it. I know you won't because you can never find these used on the second hand market. Those who buy them, don't sell them. They are that good.
