Add filters and light control to your camera rig with the 4 x 5.6 Carbon Fiber Swing-Away Matte Box Set from SHAPE. The lightweight matte box features a 2-stage, 4 x 5.65" 360° rotating filter system and can be mounted on any standard 15mm LWS or 19mm studio rod system.
The two rotating filter stages allow you to insert 4 x 5.65" filters, such as polarizing or graduated ND, and independently rotate them 360° to find just the right look. The large 143mm opening provides easy access and the 114mm ARRI-style rubber bellows opening is compatible with standard cine lens sizes. Four lens adapters are included to attach 80, 95, 104, and 114mm telephoto lenses to the matte box. The 15mm LWS and 19mm studio rod adapters are height-adjustable to match the size of your lens.
A top flag and two side flags are included to prevent unwanted flare, and a top handle with five threaded holes allows you to mount additional accessories such as lights, extension arms, and adapter shoes. The entire system is built on a hinge so you can easily swing the matte box away for lens and filter changes.
All the components are packed in a formfitting foam that can be transferred to a carry case of your choice.

Ive had my JTZ matte box for over a year now, and absolutely love it. its well built, has all the features and functionality that I need. It seems Shape has opted to license and rebrand it with a markup for the privilege.
Well built and good price for the quality.

This is a well built mattebox and a great value for the price. Only draw back really is the weight.

Hi does anyone use this case for the larger and newer SHAPE 4 x 5.6 Carbon Fiber Swing-Away Matte Box Set with 15/19mm Rod Adapters? Cheers. Aarron

Is it possible to remove the top handle from the matte box?
Hello Gwendoline, Thank you for your question! Indeed, you would have to dismantle a good amount of the internal frame to access the screws on the inside of the top handle mount, or if you have a tiny 90 degree allen key you can access it. We hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products. The SHAPE team

Does this have a 138 rota pola?
Does this have a 138 rota pola?
We're afraid not. This kit does not come with any filters. However you will be able to fit the Tiffen Multi Rota Tray with 138mm Circular Polarizer, B&H # TIROTAPOLCP, which is in a 4 x 5.6" tray.

Hi, Does can anyone let me know what cases they use for this matte box and related filters? The more options the better. Cheers. Aarron
Hello Aarron, Thank you for your question! Are you referring to transport cases? We can give you the dimensions of the box the matte box is shipped in if that can help. (15x13x8 inches). You can easily find a variety of transport cases on B&H. We hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products. The SHAPE team.

Does this mattebox have problem with sliding up and down the 15mm rod like JTZ has? where it gets stuck at the start of the rod.
I can confirm my JTZ (Owned by Shape) has the same problem. Have you found an alternative? What matte box did you end up getting? Or do you switch the rods according to the lens?

Is there any way to change the height? I know several other mid-range swing away matte boxes like this the lens sits a few millimeters above the opening. Especially when using a bigger lens.
Yes the height is adjustable.

I have 100mm x 150mm graduated ND filters and want to know if I can vary/slide them to shift the position of graduation and also if 100mm x 150mm is a size that fits in 4 x 5.65" since not sure if they're equivalent or not?
It will not fit.. While 100mm is just under 4 inches, 150mm is over 5.65 inches at 5.9 inches. A 100 x 150mm filter will be too large.
