Made for DSLR camera shooters who want to protect their camera and the images they make, the FILMCITY Power DSLR Camera Cage with MB-600 Matte Box Combo Kit provides a rugged, adjustable cage and a matte box with two rotating filter stages. The cage features a built-in top handle and numerous 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes, providing you with a comfortable grip and accessory mounting points that won't stress your camera's body. The height-adjustable side handles help you make smooth cinematic camera moves when handheld, allowing you to comfortably move the camera without having to support it on your shoulder.
The included matte box mounts on your lens directly, or the cage's 15mm rods, and it helps protect your image from glare with the adjustable top and side flags. It accepts 4 x 4" filters and has two rotating filter stages for use with optional grad or polarizing filters. The matte box also comes with a 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio mask. that provides greater light protection to your images, in either aspect ratio.
Lightweight, durable, and suitable for both run-and-gun and studio shooting, the FILMCITY MB-600 Power Camera Sunshade Matte Box is a 15mm rod-mount matte box for lenses with 95mm or smaller outer diameters. It is height adjustable on the rod clamp to allow use with a variety of cameras. It includes removable top and side flags. The frame and rod clamp are aluminum, and the matte box is made of durable polymer.
Both 4 x 4" filter stages rotate a full 360°, which is useful when using graduated or polarizer filters. Included with the matte box is a fabric donut, or "Nun's Knickers", which keeps light from leaking around the lens to flare any filters used. Interchangeable aspect ratio masks help prevent extraneous light from entering the matte box and potentially flaring the lens.
