Genustech Matte Box Lite

This matte box will work with all lenses with the following caveats: 1. It will probably not work (meaning vignetting) with APS-C sensor cameras and lenses wider than 18mm or with Full Frame cameras and lenses wider than 24mm. If you need to go with wider lenses, you will need a 4 x 5.6 matte box and corresponding filters.

Yes, the filter holder rotates.

There is a very specific shape to the 105mm edge of the adapter. We therefore must recommend that you use adapter rings designed to work with with Matte Box Lite. Follow this link to all Genustech adapter rings we sell. http://bhpho.to/1Y6MMjj

Genustech 4 x 4 filter trays can hold any 4 x 4 filter. This comes with one 4 x 4 filter tray.

You will need the following adapter ring with that Mattebox. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/544786-REG/Genus_GL_GAR72_GAR72_72mm_Adapter_Ring.html

The GML Matte Box Lite can take the side flags, as you can easiily drill/punch a hole through the Rayshade sides to fix the spindles onto the side. However, it will make the matte box front heavy, and if you're looking for a lightweight clip-on solution, then the side flags are going to add more weight to your camera front end. If you're looking to mount the matte box on a heavier camcorder and lens, then it shouldn't be an issue, but if it's a Sony A7S type camera, then it may be better to go with a GWMC matte box solution, and use adaptor bar rods underneath to help support the matte box (and side flags).

Joe, the answer will really depend on the weight loading capacity on the Gimbal you are thinking of. The Gimbal manufacturer would have those details and then you can calculate the loading capacity of the rig that you want to place on that. You can budget for 350grams of weight for the matte box on the front of your lens.

The back aperture diameters of the Matte Box Lite, Genus Wide & Compact PV are all 95mm and will accept lenses upto 86mm in diameter, in clip on mode.
