Mattebox and filters question.
Hello, i need a mattebox and basic filters for my EX1. I think about a mattebox from Chrosziel and filters from Schneider Optics.
My questions are: - Have anyone tesed the EX1 with a Chrosziel mattebox, are there vignetting roblems? - It's better to use 4x5.65 filter or can i use 4x4 filter, because i hearded when use 4x4 filter, the "wide angle effect" is limited. Very interessant filter kit from Schneider optics, it can be useful http://www.schneideroptics.com/Ecomm....aspx?CID=1431 |
4x4s are fine. No problems with my EX1.

Chrosziel makes a matte box specifically for the EX1. You might want to call a local dealer and see if they can't give you some information.

My Vocas MB-350 works with the EX1 but I have to load the filters in from the bottom.

Redrock mattebox
Was anybody able to confirm without a doubt that the Redrock mattebox will work well with the EX1? Are there any limitations from the camera mic.
|
It should work - see this post: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?p=171418 . He says that there will be an adapter to allow it to work better with video cameras such as the HVX 200 or EX1. However, looking at FreshDV's video, I don't think that the adapter is even necessary. It seems to just butt up against the front of the lens.

The matte box is able to swing away from the camera, which makes a lens change very handy, if using a adapter and it does work with the EX1, also the filters get inserted from the side instead of the top. For the price it is a good value.
The Arri matte box was well designed, lighter in weight but not released as a product as of yet, pictured here. |
I'm a bit suspicious about these sideways inserting filters. In a mattebox I find it being essential that you can adjust at least one of the filters vertically, not quite sure how it works with this construction.

That Arri looks nice, although I would guess it'll be like a third the price of the cam, as many Arri products are. B |
Nice mattebox
It looks like the chrosziel 450 mattebox. Do it fits 4x5.565 filters?
|
seriously nice gear ...
This definitely is well constructed. Worth the price!

RedRock mattebox ...
I'm beginning to put my HD camera system together and today bought the RedRock mattebox to go on an EX3 that I will buy in July. Next will be a rail system to support the whole system which will use the Letus Ultimate as it's base. Any suggestions on rails?
I hung around with Phillip Bloom in Tokyo recently and had a good look at the Ultimate ~ mighty good adaptor. I will probably have to put out about $20,000 to get this camera system up to par! |

No rails ...
Bundles are basic without flags, bundle with flags and bundle for Red.
