The Ivation Matte Box M3 - Compact Camera Accessoryis a professional matte box for filming with DSLRs and system cameras. It shields your camera from sunlight during shootings to prevent lens reflections (lens flares). The degree of shielding can be freely selected by adjusting the three movable barn doors individually. The matte box fits all lenses with filter thread not exceeding 86mm, and it is compatible with wide-angle lenses. It can also fit lenses of varying diameters with adapter rings (available separately). It features two filter stages with fixed holders that support 4 x 4" filter trays. One filter stage is fixed, while the other supports 360° rotation.

The matte box easily mounts onto 15mm rails using a height-adjustable swing-away bracket. The swing away design allows you to make quick lens changes and simply move the matte box away from your lens when you're not using it without having to detach it from your system. The matte box's height can be adjusted to match the lens of your camera when mounted on a 15mm rod system.

A: While you could use a cinema cameras like the C100 Mark II on this rig, it is not recommended. The rig is designed for Mirrorless cameras and DSLRs, it may not be a great fit for the C100 Mark II.

Q: 10. Does this model support Sony NX-FS100U? Body + Lens + Microphone + Battery = 10lbs. So my question essentially is what is the weight bearing load for this rig?

A: An exact load capacity is not listed for this system. It could work with an FS100 rig as you described it, but it is really geared a bit more towards DSLR systems and may not work very well. We would not recommend this for an FS100. Instead you could look at building up a rig around the Revo SR-1500, which is can support larger cameras as it has a 30 pound load capacity.
