Belying its compact profile, Vocas MB-455 Matte Box Kit with Rod Mountallows you to stack up to four filters, with two rotating filter stages that accept filters up 5.65 x 5.65" in size in a clip-on matte box. The non-rotating filter stage accepts a single filter up to 4 x 5.65" and a compartment in the front of the hood accepts a 4 x 5.65" filter, optional hard matte, or an optional 4 x 5.65" tilted filter frame. Two internal adjustable integrated eyebrows protect your lens from flares alleviating the need for external mattes.

The MB-455 can clamp directly onto lenses with a maximum front side diameter of 143mm and to lenses with smaller diameters via optional step-down adapters. The included top flag (eyebrow) attaches to a lockable hinge along the top of the matte box for precise glare control and similar hinges for optional side flags are built into each side of the matte box hood. An optional swing away bracket can be mounted to the matte box, which makes it quick and easy to change lenses, as you just swing the matte box away and swap lenses, without having to worry about where to put the matte box during the lens exchange.

Q: 1. Is this Matte Box wide enough to cover a FF sensor with a 14mm FF lens? For example a Sony a7S with a Xeen 14mm, will it vignette?

A: Yes, it's wide enough. I use it with an URSA Mini 4.6k and the Xeens, including the 14mm, with no problems. The URSA Mini camera isn't full frame, but I still think you'll be fine. You'll need to make sure you have a baseplate that raises the A7s up quite a bit. The matte box is adjustable vertically, but there is a minimum height that the camera lens needs to be at

Q: 5. It works with VCT Universal Baseplate (zacuto)? Thanks.

A: Yes. I use it with Zacuto's Universal Baseplate and it works great. If you're using shorter lenses, such as CP.2s, CN-Es, Xeens or Rokinon Cine DSs, you may need to buy some shorter 3.5 15mm rods so that you can lower the bottom of the matte box below the rods. This allows you to center the matte box on the lens. I use this setup with a URSA Mini 4.6k, but if you are using a taller camera such as a RED, which has a higher lens mount, you may be OK.
