Has a lot of the pro features of the more expensive matte boxes. Very good quality and build.

Originally I was going to purchase a more expensive matte box until I realized if anything were to happen to it it would have been a major loss. These camera/lens accessories are tools, and this tool works just as well as the more expensive ones. B&H offerers wonderful array of film tools to help you on their journey, as well as quick shipping, like the one that came with my purchase. I was able to receive the item before my shoot date and am very satisfied with the item and the service provided by B&H.
