Matte Box for Canon XL-H1
We have recently purchased the XL-H1 for our agency and I am have been trying to look for a Matte Box. Some dealers that I have been talking to are telling me the Matte Box for the XL2 will not be compatible for the XL-H1 because of the 16x9 chip that it has. Has anyone bought and used a Matte Box for the XL-H1? I am in a bit of a rush, I have a shoot on Friday and I would love to use a Matte Box for the shoot.
Thanks |

When I was at Vocas Netherlands (Vocas/Century optics) a couple of weeks ago, the sales rep told me they got a system inc. rods for the XL-H1. Since I know their stuff for other camera's (like XDCAM's, Digibeta's) I'm gonna get theirs. pretty decent stuff for a good price. They just recently announced a follow focus unit as well by the way.

I just picked up my H1 from Birns last night and bought the Chrosziel matte box, focus puller and base plate w/iris rods. Wasn't cheap, but it works great.
There's a picture of the setup on my blog: http://www.starwaypictures.blogspot.com |

Cinetech has a very nice 4 stage matte box, camera base adaptor, 15mm rods, follow focus, eyebrow as well. I bought a new base adaptor for my H1 and all my older gear work great on the H1.

Thanks for all your help. We decided to go with the Chrosziel Matte Box.
