There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I looked at several more modular solutions such as Bright Tangerine or Basecamp Polar Pro. These were what I needed, but I just couldn’t justify the high cost.
Finally, Tilta created their own! The mattebox system, by itself, runs 119 USD but allows you to use their new CIRCULAR 95mm filter system. So far they have anamorphic flares, various diffusion densities modeled after Pro-mist, and their own variable ND gadget.
You might be wondering why you should invest in a system that uses a brand new filters type that legendary filter makers like Tiffen have yet adopted. Well, the answer is simple: The matte box allows you to use 4x5.65mm filters ON TOP of the new 95mm circular system.
The advantage of the circular filters is you can get variable ND and polarizers to rotate. (They must rotate in order to function properly.) Tilta has solved this problem by simply making their own version of this.
You can also stack multiple 95mm circle filters on top of each other by purchasing additional trays and frames. The rotatable circle design allows you to use filters that rotate but in a much smaller package. Those who have used polarizers in the old 4x4 form know that you need a bigger mattebox with a rotating 4x4 tray.
Tiltas new system solves this. To use it, you are (currently, as of October 2023) limited to Tilta’s filters, but their quality is on par with VNDS and polas from more expensive brands. These aren’t just cheaply produced pieces of glass. And with the success and convenience of this product, I am thinking Tiffen will start manufacturing their own versions that work with the 95mm circle format very soon.
PROS: lightweight, low cost, durable, modular, easy to install and remove quickly, uses cinema standard 4x5.65 filters; new 95mm circular filter allows variable ND and polarizers to work easier than 4x4 options
CONS: The only current filter options for the 95mm circle trays are filters manufactured by Tilta; the riser that supports the mattebox (if you aren’t using the clamp-on attachment) is short and won’t work with rails that are too low under the lens; the riser doesn’t come with the smaller package; limited to one 4x5.56mm; people have complained about the color cast with the VND, however I’ve never used a VND that didn’t have some form of cast… if you really care, use regular single density ND.

It's a must-have for anyone who is sick of VND screw-on filters that block your lens hood from being attached or anyone using CInema Lenses.
I do wish that the round filter frame and filter sets for it were not a proprietary size - but that's really the only sticking point. It's a great option that for us small cinema and dSLR cinema users on a budget, can take advantage of.
Small enough to use without the rail support for use on a gimbal, or at home on a full rail build, and an option to add a Tilta nano motor for the variable ND, is really compelling. Kudos to the designers.
Is it a permanent forever matte box? I don't know. It is small, and that will limit it's full capacity - but that's also a benefit for this use, and it has certainly replaced every other solution I had prior for use on dSLRS.
GAME CHANGER!
