SMALLRIG Mini Matte Box Lite, Camera Matte Box with Top Flag, Compatible with 67mm/72mm/77mm/82mm-95mm Lenses, for 4 x 5.65 Filter/Circular Filter - 3575

I’ve been really impressed with the SMALLRIG Mini Matte Box Lite. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to mount, which makes it perfect for run-and-gun setups or travel shoots. Despite its size, it feels solid and well-constructed, with a premium finish that matches the rest of my rig.The included top flag does a great job of cutting flare, and the ability to use standard 4x5.65 filters is a big plus. It fits snugly on my lenses without feeling bulky or cumbersome, and setup is quick and hassle-free. If you’re after a matte box that delivers solid performance without weighing down your setup, this is a fantastic choice.My only criticism is it should include a 86mm adaptor now that canon and sony have F2 lenses

The SmallRig Matte Box Mini is a great solution for those working with mirrorless cameras, providing an excellent combination of portability and functionality. The matte box is compact and folds easily, making it convenient for travel and storage, yet it doesn’t compromise on performance. The grip is fantastic—it’s easy to handle, and the matte box locks securely into place, offering a hassle-free setup. I was particularly impressed by how it fits seamlessly onto my mirrorless camera rig without adding unnecessary bulk, making it perfect for those who value minimalism and efficiency. The build quality is robust, with premium materials ensuring the matte box can withstand the rigors of constant use on shoots. It blocks light effectively, reducing lens flares and improving image quality in bright conditions. For its size, it is impressively durable and versatile, able to handle multiple shooting scenarios while maintaining its grip and performance throughout.

Mini matte box Lite is very nicely made and well designed. It represents very good value for money and is well priced for this first class quality. Easy to use and adjust. Spare adapter rings could be a bit cheaper or available separately.

You can pay an arm and a leg for a matt box. I have no clue why they're sold at such a premium as they are a very simple device and are not something I would buy as a necessity. The truth is they are a luxury. I can stop the sun washing out my shot by holding a piece of cardboard over my camera lens and that does the exact same job as a 'French flag' I can buy screw on filters for my lens and they are much cheaper than the slide in type. But it does make these things more easier and more professional looking but lets be honest here ...We really buy a matt box because it makes your camera look bad ass. And on that score it does the job very nicely. And at a reasonable price.

This item was a life saver for me and the high school video production :-)

Lightweight, perfectly functional.

The barn door offers protection against overhead glare from lights. Allows filters to be slid in and creates a professional look for you camera.Wasn’t sure if I needed it to start with but feeling like your equipment is professional gives you the confidence to think you are professional which makes clients see it too giving you more work. Love the small rig stuff

This is great, my camera setup looks more professional, it’s brilliant in the rain as keeps the rain off the lens, great in bright low sun and keeps the lens flares away. Also can charge the client more lol
