Our editorial take on the SmallRig Mini Matte Box Pro
The SmallRig Mini Matte Box Pro positions itself as a lightweight solution for mirrorless camera users. Constructed from carbon fiber, plastic, and fiberglass, it claims a balance between durability and portability. Its design incorporates two 4 x 5.65 inch filter stages, supporting both rectangular and up to 92.5mm circular filters, and includes four adapter rings for broad lens compatibility. The matte box integrates a top flag and dual adjustable side flags, allowing for precise control over glare and reflections, a key feature for video production.
With a stated weight of 368 grams, mounting via a 15mm rod system, and a NATO clamp connection, this matte box is tailored for established camera rigs. While it is designed to accommodate lenses from 52mm to 95mm via adapter rings, the recommendation for 16mm or greater focal lengths on full-frame cameras suggests its sweet spot. The inclusion of adjustable flags further enhances its utility on set.
Considering its features and construction, the Mini Matte Box Pro appears to be a capable option for mirrorless camera shooters seeking to manage light and use filtration effectively. Its materials and flag system indicate a focus on practical application in various shooting environments.
- Lightweight construction due to carbon fiber, plastic, and fiberglass materials
