  • So i've been using this matte box for the past 3 months and its been pure perfection for me. Smallrig answered the call to all of out previous complaints with other matte box systems. I was originally going to just feature this in another video but i decided to do a whole video on it cause its that's dope.

      Hey brother, following up, on amazon there are tons of reviews about the filter being loose and moving around in the mattebox, sometimes falling out. Have you experienced this? By the looks of your video, it seems to be user error, as you’ve demonstrated how to lock it in place in @4:05 & @4:40 🤔

    Nice. I just got the H&Y RevoRing for my R5c after all sorts of tries with other NDs and I'm really happy. It works. Still nothing better than the C70 internals. How's Austin brah?

    I hesitated between this model to the mini 9f smallrig. I use a7s3 and small lens of samiang.
    It's a small gear. What is your recommendation for me? To buy the big or the small?
    Thank you 💕!

    Nice video ! Are you having issue with wider lenses, let’s say from 15 to 35mm with that X patern ! I’ve seen the Tilta mattebox do some pretty intense X patern but the smallrig seems to be legit ?!

    would this matte box system be able to hold 3 filter trays at once? I'd wanna use an ND, diffusion and polariser all at once and am worried about the weight distribution

    Have you seen the NISI C5, seems to be a better option than the small rig since Nisi are known for better filters and you can also use 4x5 filters at the same time un like on the small rig? Are you still happy with this product or have any updates since using it for a while now? Thanks

    Only thing I want improved is the smoothness of adjusting the variable ND (looks like it can get stuck and be pretty hard to adjust), and making the whole tray thin enough to just pop in and out without taking the entire front part off everytime

    • @cammackey

    nice review , but the whole way through I just wanted to Rake out the front end of your HD evo ..very distracting. As someone with a load of 4x4 filters on tilta , the Smallrig beats out the Mirage and polar options for the 4x4 re-useability while delivering 99% of the functionality of my bigger matte boxes..Detachable side flags would be nice though. The rod attachment is great for me running budget heavy anamorphic lens,I'm always wanting to keep weight off the front end and my dinky little L mount S1H .

      I never tried the Tilta one actually. And every VND will have a color cast no matter what the marketing says. I honestly didn’t test for cooor cast tho, totally forgot. Forgot because I shit every camera at 5400k and adjust tint in post

      Every VND has color cast. No matter what the brands say. Some favor the bluish magenta side, some favor the yellow greenish side. None of them are perfect. It’s just the science behind the filters. Literally impossible to get perfect color. Hell even lenses have color cast. But that’s why we have 10+ bit color profiles and WB.
