Cavision MB4169 Reviews

Great Product for the $

By Chris

I have always been a fan of Cavision matte boxes and have used them for 8 years. This is an excellent matte box for the money. It is adjustable up and down and the French flag can be locked in position. It also comes with one 4 x 5.65 filter holder and two 4 x 4 filter holders. I had to flip the 15mm rod mounts 180 degrees to be compatible with a DSLR but not a draw back at all. What keeps this item from getting 4 stars is the price of 4 x 5.65 filters. You only need the 4 x 5.65 filters if you're shooting super wide angle. Also this item does not come with donuts to block out the light.

Non User Friendly

I purchased the Cavision Mattbox to use it with my 5D Mark II rig, and I find it not user friendly at all. - It is very difficult to control the upper shades. - Side shades do not exist. - It is not sturdy enough and it causes rig instability. Otherwise, the filter sliders are great and the eiders 5.65 feature is brilliant specially with the grad filters.

question

Will this fit (i.e., clear the overhead handle/built-in mic section) the Panasonic AG-UX180 camera?
Asked by: Dale
We feel that the low overhanging mic on that camera could be a potential issue, but there should be enough room if you insert the rotating filter tray from the bottom instead of the top. Also, you will need a support system to use the Matte Box with the UX180. B&H number CARS15IIMQRB is a baseplate set up that has the Matte Box holder included.https://bhpho.to/2j2qjoF
