Matte boxes that block lens flare and hold filters for cinematic video production.
A matte box mounts in front of the lens and uses adjustable flags to block light coming from the sides and top, which prevents lens flare and haze in bright conditions and when shooting towards windows or lights. It also holds square or rectangular filters, such as ND and graduated filters, which can be swapped quickly without unscrewing a filter from the lens. Clamp-on matte boxes attach directly to the lens and need no rods, which makes them lighter and faster for run-and-gun shooting, while rod-mounted versions suit larger rigs. Check that the matte box fits your lens diameter and filter size. Matte boxes give a professional look to a camera setup and are standard on cinema sets.
