The completely modular Chrosziel Cine.1 Dual-Stage Clamp-On Matte Box Kitfrom Chrosziel Cine.1 Dual-Stage Clamp-On Matte Box Kitis built to be strong yet lightweight to fit into your handheld or studio camera rig. Having a matte box on the front of your lens allows you more flexilbility in lighting your scene by blocking light sources just out of frame from directly entering the lens, which can cause the lens to flare, and introduce image artifacts. This particular iteration of the Cine.1 series can be mounted directly on the lens with the integrated clamp, and is configured with two filter stages, however, it can be configured to hold either one or three filters with addition or removal of filter stages.

Fits Lenses up to 150mm Outer Diameter    2 x Rotating Filter Stages    Trays Hold 4x5.65" & 4x4" Filters    Metal Frame with Polyblend Hood    Includes Top Flag    Includes Lens Adapter Rings    Includes Hard Transport Case

A top flag (also called an eyebrow) is included to block extraneous light from above. The flag folds in half for a smaller footprint when it's packed away. As an added touch, the flag has security holes which mate with safety latches on the matte box, preventing the flag from accidentally falling during installation.

The Cine.1 matte box housing is constructed from high-impact polymer blend. This material is very rigid and resistant to cracking, yet keeps the weight of the matte box down as to not unbalance your rig. The surround is constructed from aluminum

Using the multiple threaded mounting points, accessories such as side flags, rosettes, a filter catcher, and a top accessory plate, can be attached to expand the functionality of the Cine.1 matte box.
