Not exactly for the EX1

        Comments about Cavision MB4510-H2EX 4x5.65 Hard Shade 16x9 Matte Box:

        This is a fine matte box, but it is said to be designed for the Sony EX1 and there are some critical flaws in that design. The flip out lcd screen does not fold in while the matte box is attached without serious rubbing and scratching on the back of the screen. Also, the clip that holds the flag up protrudes into the path of the lcd. I was able to mitigate this by grinding down the clip, but I feel I should not have to do this for a product supposedly designed for the EX1. In conclusion, I am living with it, but I am not too happy with these problems.
