Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Dimensions height/width of L?

A: Base 16.9cm long 3.7 cm wide 1.2 cm thick The arm part is 26.7 cm from the bottom of the arm to the top of the cold shoe part

Q: 2. Will this product work with 4x5 film?

A: I believe it will but I found this squeegee scratching my film a lot so I stopped using it. I like to use the rubber gloves I wear while developing. Also look into an agent that prevents water spots from appearing on your film after it dries.

Q: 3. how much weight can this hold and can this hold the flash laterally? is this better than vello flexible arm bracket?

A: It will definitely bend with the weight of a flash if positioned laterally, but you could position it like this: https://bit.ly/38QBWXO The manufacturer does not give weight limit specifications, but the typical 1.25lbs. (with batteries) or so top of the line flash from major camera manufacturers (e.g. Nikon and Canon) should be fine. I would consider it to be functionally equivalent to the Vello product (BH #VECB900): https://bhpho.to/2UfJZIk

Q: 4. Canon 7D II with 100-400 II and wondering if anyone has used this with a Kirk foot?

A: I have not used this with a Kirk foot. I am quite familiar with Kirk Products and use the Cobra Head for most of my action photography using up to 800mm on a Dx Body. I used the particular handgrip for my Sony Action Cam while skiing. It worked well and felt balanced in my hand.

Q: 5. Will this smear the emulsion on wet 35 mm film? Also, should this squeegee be used wet or dry?

A: No. this squeegee will not smear the emulsion. However, I find it works best when there is even, consistent pressure when squeegeeing otherwise you may get streaks. I also find that the product works best dry or at least remove excess moisture between squeegees otherwise streaks may happen

Q: 6. Could this support a heavier camera say 10+ lbs?

A: Yes, can attach the P&C Handgrip to larger cameras. Do be careful though because attachments that connect with one mounting point are less secure. This could cause issues depending on how large the camera is.

Q: 7. will can use with Zacuto Blackmagic Pocket Camera Z-Finder 2x ?

A: You won't be able to attach it to the Z-Finder per se but you can attach it to the camera (where the tripod gets connected to).

Q: 8. Has anyone used this with the lomokino 35mm film camera? As they have discontinued the original handgrip and I am trying to find an alternative.

A: This will work with the Lomography LomoKino 35mm Film Camera B&H # LOK35 very well.

Q: 9. How long is it?

A: The Dot Line 43mm Strap (Black) is 37 inches.

Q: 10. Does Dot Line Matte Box MB3 fit sony ax100 4k ?

A: Not unless you buy a universal base plate that has the height to elevate the camera above the lens opening. The kicker is that even cheap base plates are several hundred dollars. Hope this helps.

[2.995 lb] Easy does not scratch at all

[86 mm Opening] It seems like a lot of folks have been using squeegees wrong for a long time. You do not just crunch down on them- it shouldn't make a fun sound when you run the squeegee along the film surface.


It's simple: soak the squeegee in warm (not hot), preferably distilled, water for at least a few minutes. Then when you've got the film ready GENTLY run the squeegee down the film, there's not need to *squeeze* the film, you're just inviting damage- we're removing water not trying to draw blood. that's it. A couple passes in both directions and let the film dry normally from there.


I recently switched to this squeegee after using a sponge squeegee for a couple years. I didn't have too many complaints about the sponge aside from it's ability to collect dust and redistribute it. This feels like it's easier to clean and maintain in the long run.

[86 mm Opening] Sturdy great construction. I know I won't have to buy another one. It'll probably last me a lifetime.

[2.995 lb] I put forth a lot of time researching what matte box I was going to buy, and it was worth it because this was the right product! I have used the Redrock Micro mattebox system for a few years, but this product is built nearly the same at less than half the cost! I am really happy with it. I bought this in combination with the Dot Line F1 follow focus for use with the Lumix GH4, and the three are great together. The actual mattebox and filter trays are made of a hard, durable plastic, and everything else is made of aluminum. It's built very solid and does not feel flimsy. The swing-away feature is nearly as good as the Redrock, and very helpful for changing lenses with ease. The swing-away mechanism has a locking position when fully closed and also offers a vertical adjustment. The flags are made of powder coated aluminum and attach easily, however, the levers which they attach to are a little finicky and can be difficult to tighten, but they still work. I was a little unsure about the fabric cowls it comes with, but I actually really like them! They do what they're supposed to do: keep light off the lens. The mattebox accepts 15mm rods seamlessly. All-together a great product choice!

[360°] The mattbox is easy to use , comes with the four flags to cover all needs, i have it attach to my rig , i found it better like that So at the time of changing lenses i can only remove my camera. Maybe if i buy the swing away adapter i can move the matt and change the lens only without removing my camera but in the meantime in good to go.

[360°] I was hesitant to try out the rubber version instead of the sponge version, but it worked great! I've used it on about 10 rolls of 120 now and there are no scratches at all. I did read a recommendation that you should wet it before you use it on your film, so I have been doing it that way. Works great!

[360°] Helps remove water, but not all of the water. Works well with photo flow.

[360°] If you are developing film and you don't have one of these, buy it now! Makes drying so much faster. Build quality is excellent for the price.
