Use professional 4 x 5.65" filters with your NX5 camcorder with this Chrosziel Matte Box Kit for Sony HXR-NX5 Camcorder. Both the matte box and the 15mm LWS baseplate for the NX5 are included, as is a flexible donut which fits the NX5's lens to eliminate light reflections. See below for more information on the items included in this kit.
Lightweight, robust, and ready for production, Chrosziel's MB 450R2 Matte Box can complement a wide range of cameras, from smaller camcorders or mirrorless cameras, up to larger cinema cameras and ENG camcorders with an outer lens diameter of up to 114mm (lenses with a diameter smaller than 110mm may require additional accessories for full compatibility). With the included top flag and 16:9 mask, glare from outside the frame can be effectively controlled for improved contrast and reduced ghosting in the recorded image. Further control can be achieved through separately available side and bottom flags.
Insert your favorite filters into the available stages for further creative control. The rear stage accepts 4x4" filters only, while the front stage will accept 4x4 as well as larger 4x5.65" filters. Both stages rotate, enabling the use and control of polarizing as well as graduated filters. For further possibilities, the MB 450R2 can be upgraded in the future with a separately available third rotating filter stage.
To use this matte box on your camera, the camera must be mounted on a separately available 15mm LWS baseplate. Fit the matte box on the rods until it covers the lens front. Rod-mounted matte boxes are preferred over clamp-on matte boxes in many production situations as they are always properly aligned with the image horizon.
With the Chrosziel Lightweight Support for Sony HXR-NX5 Camcorder you can set up your camcorder like a professional film camera. The included 15mm LWS rods sit at the correct distance from the optical axis to ensure compatibility with 15mm LWS accessories, such as matte boxes, lens supports, and follow focuses. The baseplate has moveable tripod mounting threads for securing your rig to a tripod plate.
The Chrosziel Flexi-Ring Flexible Step-Down Ring is a 110 to 75-98mm adjustable step-down ring. The ring is designed to work with the MB-450 matte box series and will fit a variety of wide angle attachment lenses.
