Instant professional cinematographer, lol.

I rigged my BMPCC 4k for use on a tripod. This was a finishing touch mostly just for esthetic. The adapter rings work well and support the use of additional circular filters. This is a good thing per the cost of the rectangular filters. Easy to mount and assemble. In practical use, I'm not sure how much unwanted light will ever be blocked. The unit is pretty shallow. It is very light and adds no strain to lens mounts. Works with most of my lenses. One lens is too short and the focus wheel wins out. It's pretty rare that I add something just for looks but I really enjoy having this unit attached. Bring out the slate board and I'm a major producer, lol.

Great mattebox, better than tilta

Love it. Much better than the tilta mini mattebox. I have both and bought this one because the tilta has a very crappy design for filters. This one is much better and plan to buy extra filter trays to just keep my filters in for faster loading.

Why settle for less when you can have the best with the SmallRig Mini Matte Box 3196 Designed specifically for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, this compact matte box is your ultimate solution to prevent unwanted sunlight or other light sources from causing glare and flare, giving you full control over your on-screen images.

The Mini Matte Box 3196 stands out with its multi-filter stacking feature, allowing for quick installation and removal in a slot. It supports holding a circular filter and multiple 4x 5.65" rectangular filters simultaneously, making it a versatile addition to your camera gear.

Innovatively designed with an inward adapter ring, this matte box avoids vignetting during wide-angle shooting, ensuring your images are always of the highest quality. The dedicated filter frame provides all-round protection for your filters with a multi-point silicone lining, preventing scratches and leaving no fingerprints on your filters.

The filter frame also features a convenient carry handle for easy pushing and pulling, making filter adjustments a breeze. The filter tray 3319 can be quickly mounted onto the matte box via a NATO clamp, supporting multiple 4 x 5.65" plug-in filters of up to 4mm in thickness at the same time.

To top it off, the adjustable carbon-fiber top flag not only blocks sunlight or strong light but also prevents internal reflections with its anti-reflective design. The top 1/4"-20 threaded holes enable easy attachment of other accessories, while the anti-twist 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the bottom suit the 15mm LWX Rod Support 2663.
