Like I said, the indiGO-MATTE mounts to the end of the lens. The kit I got had a range of ring adapters, 52mm to 77mm, that will enable you to mount the matte box to virtually any lens. You could also buy step-up ring adapters to accommodate the odd-sized lens.

What does one need to look for in a rod system?

Can you pst pics of the Indigo matte - their website shows one horrible picture that is useless - not sure why.

Re: Sun Shade options
 

I bought a Vocas DV mattebox years ago, and later bought some side flags and brackets from an Indian outfit, who are I believe the same as Cinecity. It's workable, but it has soft metal sheet, bad paint job and plastic parts instead of the indestructible plastic and alloys that Vocas use.

I means it's laughable really:
mattebox / matte box with rod support (tripod spacer) with side

is a copy of: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14270310/VOCAS.JPG
Even down to the rubber lens donuts, and the exact design of the base.

Now Vocas have their 250 system, with eyelids and blue metal parts. Cinecity have copied this too.
Only they don't have the skill to ripoff the eyelids it seems.

P.S. I don't have any connection to Vocas, just miffed at seeing a good manufacturers ideas stolen. I understand why people think some matteboxes are stupid money, but don't support these thieves try Vocas or True Lens Service matteboxes. I've got more Vocas kit arriving tomorrow too.
