[0.825 lb] Here is a real matte box. The right size and weight for small modern cameras. There are, to be fair, a couple of small annoyances, but they are easily overcome with some minor engineering. Considering that no two camera systems are identical, Cavision has done a great job. Two filter slots are enough (one rotates), the flags are fine and work well. Donuts would be good, but can be made; the nun's knickers are OK for most lenses. I had used this on a shoot, loved it, bought one...and will by another...

[0.825 lb] A full featured Matte-box for this price range? I can't find anything that comes close to this until you step into the 1k plus dollar range. I have a Wooden Camera umb-1 with the swing away arm and that cost 3x as much and similar quality(Shape being a high quality brand itself). There's others that have most of the features but with compromises, the tilta mb-T03 for example can't accommodate larger lens diameters for mounting.

It came with a nice foam molded insert that I just popped in a nanuk 915 case with a little plucking. If this came out a year ago I'd have bought two instead of getting the wooden camera Matte Box.

[11.1 x 7.9 x 3"] Well designed and well constructed. Thoughtful, considerate and nimble.
Beyond the quality of this one product I'd like to note how great this company is. I recently had a camera hit the ground on set. Shape didn't just respond to my email and sell me the henge that took the brunt of the fall, they called me, two or three times. They wanted to make sure they got me what I needed, not more, in a timely manner. Their attention and concern has made a fan into a loyal costumer for life.

[11.1 x 7.9 x 3"] Ok first off, B&H kinda vets their stuff so I wasn't heistatant to take a chance on this matt box. Upon opening I was surprised for I was expecting a product of way lesser quality. All this thing needs to do is hold filters and block a direct hit from the sun from hitting the lens. I trust that it can do just that and for under a hundred bucks!


Also i was surprised at it's ample tooling making it possible to remove the top and side flags if needed, which will be a plus for me for I'm trying to build my rig as light as possible for handheld / gimbal use.


I didn't want to spend 500-700 on something like PolarPro base kit. I compared weights between their Base Camp and this thing here with the top flag and a filter. The Cavision came in at about 40grams heavier which is about the same weight as two 77mm plastic Canon lens caps. At this price i'll buy two and keep a spare.


This thing has dual filter stages one of which rotates and the holders features a compression spring tab based mech to hold them snug. I mean com'on!!


And I never usually write reviews on stuff because really, who has the time?

[0.825 lb] I recently bot this a couple of weeks ago. I used it on a shoot and it worked amazingly. For its price, it really helped with getting out shadows and getting rid of any unwanted light just like any other Matte box but simply for cheaper. Whilst it functions extremely well, something that is annoying about is that I had to buy a step up ring so that it could fit onto my camera which cost another $15 but it was completely worth it. I would recommend it to anyone who is currently in the first stages of learning how to rig out cameras as it really helps people learn about the usefulness of Matte Boxes

[11.1 x 7.9 x 3"] Despite being largely of ABS construction, this matte box is surprisingly sturdy. Everything locks and tightens firmly and stays in place during use. So far I'm very impressed with this unit, it provides affordable, light weight light control, ideal for cameras with lenses up to 85mm diameter. Also, I'm from the UK and it arrived from the USA in less than a week. Many thanks B&H.
