Excellent matte box with some flaws

matte box arrived on time, I like the look. It's a strong construction yet lightweight. It comes with some great features that I really like. My only complaint (and maybe it's just not designed to work at this level): I use XEEN cine lenses with a standard lens diameter of 119mm. The lenses fit perfectly in the matte box without the need for the included donuts. 50mm works great but when I switch to 24mm the vignetting gets so intense it's unusable. The frosted box opening is too small for the…

Damn near perfect – not yet.

I really, really want to give this thing 5 stars, but there are reasons I can't: First, there's almost no height adjustment. If it doesn't perfectly match the height of your lenses/camera, you'll need to buy an extension to adjust the stem. It's not cheap and it's hard to find an adjustable one. Second, due to the design of the mat box, you CANNOT slide it back onto the rails by the bottom lip; The rails meet the shield and there is no way to raise it high enough for the rails to pass…

The best budget option. Excellent customer service.

I mainly shoot with the Sony A7sII and my setup is based on the Movcam cage and rail system. This is without a doubt the best budget matte box I have ever used. It feels solid - it's mostly metal and some premium plastics in places. The matte box slides smoothly right over my rig's 15mm rods. I also have a FOTGA DP3000 M3 Matte Box which was fine for a cheap unit but didn't work that well with my Movcam A7s setup (the slider setting didn't go low enough to evenly line up my lenses). Not only is
