The completely modular Chrosziel Cine.1 Triple-Stage Matte Box 15/19mmfrom Chrosziel Cine.1 Triple-Stage Matte Box 15/19mmis 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 on 15 or 19mm rods, and is configured with three filter stages, which can be easily removed when not required by your production.

Fits Lenses with 150mm Outer Diameter    3 Rotating Filter Stages    Trays Hold 5.65x5.65" & 4x5.65" Filters    Convertible to Clamp-On or Swing-Away    Height Adjustable Filter Slots    Includes Top Flag

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.
