More Details

Tilta MB-T16 Overview

Control the light into your lens and add filters with this Tilta Mirage Matte Box with Circular Filter Tray Kit put together by B&H. The kit includes the Mirage matte box, a top flag, a filter tray holder, two filter trays, four adapter rings, and a carry case.

The lightweight matte box can easily mount onto your camera, drone, or gimbal rig to provide light control and add a filter system with optional motorized VND operation. The included filter holder acts as a front hood to accept the included dual circular filter tray, each accepting up to two filters. The matte box allows you to add optional circular filters to the front of your lens, while also allowing the addition of 4 x 5.65" filters on the front of the matte box.

Tilta Mirage Matte Box

Built rugged for daily use on your camera rig yet lightweight for handheld, gimbal, stabilizer, or drone work, the Tilta Mirage Matte Box is a modular component system that clips onto 95mm OD lenses common in the film and digital cine fields. The matte box weighs about the same as a standard 4 x 5.65" glass filter, and it accepts Tilta's 95mm round filters with the included filter adapter. The modular design means you can configure the matte box to match your needs on a shot-by-shot basis.

The Mirage comes with a rigid hood and removable top flag for cutting glare and protecting your image from overhead flare. Four included lens adapters enable mounting the Mirage Matte Box on lenses with 67, 72, 77, or 82mm threaded fronts, and an included soft case helps to protect your matte box during transport and storage. An optional 4 x 5.65" stackable filter holder lets you mount 4 x 5.65" filters on the matte box. Additionally, you can mount an optional Tilta VND system for creating precise variable ND effects remotely. Other modular components, such as a top flag, dual circular filter tray, filter protector, and rubber hood for shooting up against windows, are available separately. An optional 15mm LWS rod clamp can be attached, allowing you to mount the Mirage on rods to take the weight off your lens or use lenses with rotating fronts.

Designed for the Wind
The matte box body has been designed to aid airflow with integrated vents that can reduce wind resistance and improve stability when shooting subjects at high speeds, such as in a car or on a drone.
Modular Design
The modular design allows you to configure your matte box in a variety of ways: from completely stripped down using only the 95mm filter holder with the lens clamp to adding a 4 x 5.65" stackable tray, the included lens hood, the included top flag, or swap the hood for an optional rubber hood. Additionally, you can add the optional 15mm LWS rod support, so you can mount the matte box to rods for handling heavier filter loads, such as the optional VND (variable neutral density) system.
95mm Circular Filter System
Tilta's 95mm circular (round) filter system proves coverage for lenses with up to a 95mm outer lens barrel diameter, and it provides significant weight savings over traditional filters as the circular filters weigh about 1/4 the weight of traditional 4 x 5.65" glass filters.
Filters
An optional 4 x 5.65" stackable filter tray can be added between the filter clamp and matte box hood, allowing you to easily add one or two 4 x 5.65" filters to the matte box.

Does this have built in IR filtration? If so what wave lengths are being filtered? To be used with RED komodo, has no IR filter
Asked by: Matthew
No, the Tilta Mirage VND Kit does not cut IR on it's own, but you can add Vaxis IRND filters to the matte box to block out IR light. See: https://bhpho.to/3J5e2wv

Is it possible to get an adapter to be able to put the system to the carl zeiis Cp2 cine prime optics?
Asked by: Andres
No it is not. The CP2s have a larger opening than this matte box therefore if you attach this matte box to your CP2s it is far more likely to create a vignette.

Asked by: Ra'Shaun
The Tilta Mirage VND Kit (B&H# TIMBT16A) has a female 1/4"-20 thread in the bottom along with two locator holes on either side of it. As such, if you intend to mount it on 15mm rods then the most secure means to do so would be to use the Tilta 15mm LWS Support for Mirage Matte Box (B&H# TIMBT16LS): https://bhpho.to/3NfLdRh

Will this work with the Sigma 70-200 2.8 sports lens?
Asked by: Jacob
Yes, the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS Sports Lens has a front filter thread of 77mm to take the 77mm adapter ring. The front diameter of the lens is 90.6mm which does not interfere with the 95mm maximum diameter of the Tilta Mirage VND Kit with Mirage Matte Box.
