Very professional

This is great for putting a matte box on a small camera. Just make sure the Matte Box is the correct lens for whatever camera you have.

Ah, not so good

The thing itself works great, but you can't adjust the Baseplate hight. So with use of my Canon7d or my Panasonic SD300 the Mattebox 3x3, is still to high for the Lens and a little bit out of the Line. So mayby with a second Baseplate underneath the Camera it might works well. But, than, you better go with the 15mm Version of the Rod System for 160 somthing $.
