Lightweight, robust, and ready for production, Chrosziel HD Baseplate Kit with Matte Box & Follow Focuscan complement a wide range of cameras, from smaller camcorders or mirrorless cameras, up to larger cinema cameras and ENG camcorders with an outer lens diameter of up to 114mm (lenses with a diameter smaller than 110mm may require additional accessories for full compatibility). With the included top flag and 16:9 mask, glare from outside the frame can be effectively controlled for improved contrast and reduced ghosting in the recorded image. Further control can be achieved through separately available side and bottom flags.

Insert your favorite filters into the available stages for further creative control. The rear stage accepts 4x4" filters only, while the front stage will accept 4x4 as well as larger 4x5.65" filters. Both stages rotate, enabling the use and control of polarizing as well as graduated filters. For further possibilities, the MB 450R2 can be upgraded in the future with a separately available third rotating filter stage.

To use this matte box on your camera, the camera must be mounted on a separately available 15mm LWS baseplate. Fit the matte box on the rods until it covers the lens front. Rod-mounted matte boxes are preferred over clamp-on matte boxes in many production situations as they are always properly aligned with the image horizon.

Q: 8. does it works for the URSA mini? thanks

A: Generally, there is a lag time from when a new camera is released and when 3rd party manufacturers can release corresponding products that match. At this time, Chroszeil has not listed a kit specifically for the Blackmagic Mini. So while I would say that the Chrosziel 450-R2 Matte Box and Follow Focus Kit for Blackmagic Cinema Camera & Production Camera 4K probably will work for the Mini, I cannot say that it will work without issue. My concern is will the base be the right height since the matte box is not height adjustable. We will not know for sure until Chroszeil has an opportunity to test the arrangement.
