The YELANGU M2 15mm LWS Matte Box with Rotating Stagesmounts onto 15mm LWS rod systems using a height-adjustable swing-away bracket, and it accepts lenses up to 100mm in diameter. It features two rotating 4 x 4" filter stages and comes with two 4 x 4" filter trays. The swing-away bracket allows you to move the matte box out of the way during lens changes, without having to remove it from the rods. The unit's height can be adjusted to support different-sized cameras and lenses. The removable metal top flag and two side flags block unwanted light to prevent glare and lens flare. The top and side flags feature lockable hinges allowing you to set precise cuts without worrying about the flag intruding into the frame during the shot.

For up to 100mm Lenses    Two Rotating 4 x 4" Filter Stages    15mm Rod Mounting    Swing-Away Design    Top & Side Flags

The swing-away design allows you to quickly move the matte box out of the way to check or change lenses, without having to remove the matte box from the support rods. This way you don't have to hand the matte box off to someone else, hold it under an arm or between your knees, or hang it under the rods while you work, greatly speeding your workflow and reducing the chance of dropping the matte box or having a filter tray fall out.

The filter trays hold your filter securely and their position in the matte box can be adjusted up and down, in addition to rotating. A rotating filter stage is essential for getting the most out of polarizers and graduated filters.

The removable top and side flags provide you additional flare control and attach to the matte box with a lockable hinged assembly. This allows you to precisely set your flags to match the edge of the frame for different lenses and lock them in place so that they don't move during the shot.

The side flags have an adjustment slide mechanism that makes it possible to change the height of the flag to match the height above the lens of the top flag on its hinge.

Q: 6. I'm using a Sony FS7 with the Zeiss LWZ.3 21-100mm. How can i adjust the mattebox on the rod to make sure it will fit my front lens (114mm). I don't see anything to adjust the heigh of the mattebox?

A: The MM4 mattebox does not have a height adjustment. With the correct step down ring (130mm to 114mm MOV-301-02-004-108C), the mattebox can clamp directly onto the front of the lens. Using the Movcam FS7 / FS7 II baseplate and riser would allow for cinema standard height alignment if you choose to go a different route for your camera support.
