The fully modular Chrosziel Cine.1 matte box is designed to be robust whilst remaining lightweight to suit your shoulder-mounted or studio camera configuration. Adding a matte box to the front of your lens gives you more flexibility in lighting your scene by blocking light sources just outside the frame that could enter directly into the lens, causing flare and introducing artefacts into the image. This particular version of the Cine.1 series can be mounted on 15 mm LWS rods and is configured with two filter stages, but it can be adapted to accommodate 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 engage with the matte box safety latches, preventing the flag from accidentally falling off during setup. Adjustable swing-away assembly Chrosziel's swing-away arm assembly allows for faster lens changes by conveniently moving the matte box out of the lens's way. In addition to providing swing-away functionality, the assembly features articulations that allow you to tilt the matte box to avoid filter reflections, as well as slide it horizontally and vertically when adjusting it to your lens, thus compensating for any inconsistencies encountered in complex mounting scenarios. Construction The Cine.1 matte box housing is constructed 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 perimeter is constructed from aluminium. Expandability By using the multiple threaded mounting points, accessories such as side flags, rosettes, a filter catcher and a top accessory plate can be attached to extend the functionality of the Cine.1 matte box.
