The fully modular Chrosziel Cine.1 matte box is designed to be robust yet lightweight to suit your handheld or studio camera configuration. Having a matte box in front of your lens gives you more flexibility to light your scene by blocking light sources just outside the frame that could enter directly into the lens, which can cause flare and introduce image artefacts. This particular version of the Cine.1 series can be mounted on 15 or 19 mm rods and is configured with two filter stages, but it can be configured to hold one or three filters by adding or removing filter stages. Features Top flag included A top flag (also called an eyebrow) is included to block stray light from above. The flag folds in half to reduce bulk when storing. Additionally, the flag features safety holes that fit the matte box safety latches, preventing the flag from accidentally falling off during setup. Construction The Cine.1 matte box housing is manufactured from a blend of high-impact polymers. This material is very rigid and resistant to cracking, whilst keeping the matte box weight low so as not to unbalance your configuration. The frame is constructed from aluminium. Expandability By using the multiple threaded mounting points, accessories such as side flags, rosettes, a filter receptacle and a top accessory plate can be attached to extend the functionality of the Cine.1 matte box.
