[0.725 lb] A bit expensive but you get what you paid for. Lightweight matte box. The filter trays are secure, with no problems with filter trays dropping. They're also easy to tighten down as well. Used this many times on set and will continue to.

[0.725 lb] This is THE solution for add rods to your komodo and being able to go from tripod to handheld in literally 2 seconds.
The latch design is perfect and clamps down tightly to your dovetail plate. The placement of the tightening knobs for the rods is nice.

I was initially going to go with the 8Sinn baseplate but after careful review I noticed that the knobs for tightening the rods interfere with the other knobs. In my opinion, I saw this as a possible hinderance to the ease of use I was looking for as I'm regularly in fast paced situations where struggling with any piece of gear is unacceptable.


If you can afford it, you won't regret it.
Its a deceptively simple tool but a must if you care about your gear working flawlessly and not worrying about fiddling around with the quirkiness that can come from some of the cheaper solutions.

[0.725 lb] This is my goto matte box. I own Bright Tangerine's Misfit Atom as well, but I use that for smaller rigs, MoVI, etc. The Viv is absolutely essential. It's a rock solid design, lightweight and I don't have to worry about the clamp-on rings scratching my primes. I've used the Arri MMB-2 many times, but prefer the Viv due to it's quality and how light it is.

[0.725 lb] Is it expensive? Yes. It is flawless and perfect? Yes.

I just love everything about it. My only maybe SLIGHT complaint, is I wish it had some Rosette mounts in this kit, but I easily added the BT side plate to finish it out!

[0.725 lb] The Bright Tangerine Viv Matte Box is absolutely wonderful. It's lightweight, so strong and looks fantastic; it's a head turner too. Previously Iv'e had, Arri and O'Connor, but today, I honestly can't imagine working without it.

[0.725 lb] Ive been saving up for a Bright Tangerine Revolvr Atom because I wanted something versatile and fast with my set up for a lot of the run and gun shoots that I do. When I first got my package from B&H, my kit was missing the hand wheel piece. I called B&H the next day and they advised me to contact Bright tangerine myself to retrieve the missing piece. Luckily, within 5 minutes of emailing Bright Tangerine with my order mix-up, they had responded and had the hand wheel overnighted to me the very next day. Its great knowing when you buy top quality gear, that the manufacture takes enough pride to offer top quality service as well. I cant wait to see what other film making tools Bright Tangerine will start to make.

[ARRI Dovetail] This Jason Case is great. It allows for me to store my C300 Mark III with the top handle and monitor still attached to the camera body. It has two slots for lenses, several media slots, battery slots, and dedicated spaces for the rest of the accessories that come with the C300 Mark III. The hard shell case and laser cut insert insure that my camera is safe when transporting to jobs...plus it has wheels!

[0.725 lb] I have had Shape products for years now. Very nicely designed top plate for the C300 Mark iii, I use it on every shoot and I'm planning to equip my other mark iiis with it very soon. It has everything I need on it, threaded holes of various sizes, anti-rotating for ARRI products, and a nice rod holder at the front. Very sturdy too. Great product!

[ARRI Dovetail] Surprised by how light weight it is. Really good build quality and clever tray design. The thumb screws to extend the unit for additional filters gets loose sometimes so just have to tighten it every now and then.

[0.725 lb] Bought this to compliment my Leica R 35mm summicron in my Red Scarlet-W. This thing couldn’t be built or designed any better. The rubber “black hole” is a perfect choice if you’re going to be using vintage lenses. Make sure you have some sort of step up ring if your lens has a diameter smaller than 60mm or light will leak. I probably wouldn’t use it with lenses with a diameter larger than 82mm since it’s made of a thin rubber material and it might rip or stretch out too much. Looks miles better than baggy cloth though... The reason I went with the misfit is because I know that if I change lenses or if a client wants to work with other lenses, I can easily buy the other configurations to accommodate whatever I end up using. I know this is more expensive than most matte boxes but it’s worth it since this is the only matte box you will ever need.
