Loading... Please wait...Let's face it, we're in the perception business. When you meet with a client or talent, they have perceptions of what you and your gear should look like. One of them, is a matte box. But perceptions doesn't put money in the bank for an $852 matte box.
After all, what do you want from a matte box? It has to have a French Flag for light management, optional side flags, and be light-weight but all weather durable.
Don't see red at the other expensive matte boxes, see the indiGO-MATTE.
Under 8 ounces (225 grams), it has a fixed positional French Flag that prevents it from dropping into view, allows for threaded filters to be added to the lens.
Though extremely light, it is made from a high impact plastic for many years of use---and sometimes even those times it gets abused.
