PolarPro's 3 Matte Boxes Compared - Recon v. Basecamp v. Nano4x5

What are the differences between PolarPro's 3 Matte Boxes?
Recon: bit.ly/3Q9yG2G
Basecamp: bit.ly/48ea7sd
Nano 4x5: bit.ly/46xRxtD
The Recon and the Basecamp feature built in VND systems for fast exposure adjustments while the Nano 4x5 holds traditional 4 x 5.65 filters. The Recon is a smaller, more compact setup that fits lenses up to 82mm filter threads, while the BaseCamp is a larger system to fit up to 114mm cine lenses and everything in between.

Great clarification, this vid was needed for a upcoming purchase, hell I may buy all 3

Haha glad it helped!

I currently own the base camp system, but I mostly shoot multicam interviews and I want to buy another filter sets for the other cameras. If I bought the recon system, will it match with the camera that has the base camp system?

[@PolarProFilters]

Yah it’s the same glass and color profiles for all of our glass (except the new chroma Polarizers) which are not on BC or recon anyways

1:11 what if I want to use CPL and VND or ND together. Which system is good for that?

[@PolarProFilters]

Recon and Nano 4x5 will be the two Matteboxes to look at. We have VND Polarizers launching soon that will be compatible with these systems

I own an FX3 camera with two Sigma lenses, 24mm and 50mm. Where can I get a suitable matbox from your company? Thank you.

[@PolarProFilters]

All 3 of these would work, you just need to decide how you want to use it. Links are all in the description. If you have specific questions let us know

I currently have the PM VND II. Will this work with any of these systems?

[@PolarProFilters]

None of these three work with threaded filters. There are a couple other brands out there that accept threaded. The only problem with using threaded filters is vignetting

[@salmonphotoandvideo]

@@PolarProFilters I haven't had any issues with vignetting on mine, but it's also made by you guys so I got that going for me. 😁

[@PolarProFilters]

right there is no vignetting when you have that filter threaded onto your lens. but when you add a matte box, your matte box threads to the lens, then the VND threads to the matte box and pushes it further away. That can start to introduce vignetting
