The fully modular Chrosziel Cine.1 matte box is designed to be robust whilst remaining lightweight to suit your handheld or studio camera configuration. Using a matte box at the front of your lens gives you more flexibility to light your scene by blocking light sources just out of frame that could enter directly into the lens, which can cause flare and introduce artefacts into the image. This particular version of the Cine.1 series can be mounted on 19 mm studio rods and is configured with three filter stages, which can be easily removed when not required for your production. 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 safety latches on the matte box, preventing the flag from accidentally falling off during setup. Adjustable swing-away assembly Chrosziel's swing-away arm allows for faster lens changes by conveniently moving the matte box out of the lens's way. In addition to its swing-away function, 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 to your lens, thus compensating for any inconsistencies encountered in complex mounting scenarios. 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 perimeter is constructed from aluminium Expandability By using the multiple threaded mounting points, accessories such as side flags, rosettes, a filter catch and a top accessory plate can be attached to extend the functionality of the Cine.1 matte box.
