The Camshade Video Matte Box from Camtree is a 15mm LWS rod-mount matte box with a 105mm lens opening. It features a built-in fixed filter holder and comes with a removable filter tray supporting 4 x 4" square filters. It also includes a top flag and side flags, with the side flags adjustable at multiple points, allowing for more flexibility in controlling light. The flags are made of aluminum while most of the rest of the matte box is constructed of industrial plastic, making the Camshade lightweight and easier to handle, especially when you're shooting handheld. The Camshade is also height-adjustable approximately 1" off the rod mount to let you align with your lens. A lens hood is also supplied.

Camtree MB-CMS Reviews
Nicely made, but certainly not perfect.
This is a nice, solid shade, but I found I had to rearrange the mount in order for it to line up for my lens. Originally, even at its lowest setting, it was too tall for my lens, even though I'm using it on a Canon C100, which is a fairly tall camera. It lines up well now, though I had to remove the 4x4" filter holder, which is fine because I won't be using it anyway. Even with that, the filter holder is very, very stiff to remove and replace. But as shades that will work for my old camera are rare, I'll keep it. But truthfully, I'm disappointed.
Light weight Price is right.
The Camshade Matte Box for the price delivers a light weight Matte Box with all the features I need. Using this for interviews for 60 minutes allows for flying of key lights and the blocking of any flares that might hit you lens without a Matte Box. My question is why didn’t I purchase this earlier?
