I have a sigma 24-105mm f/4 which has an 82mm thread. Does this mean I would not be able to use a clamp on matte box without having extreme vignetting?
Hello can you please help? I have recently bought the, "Sony FE 28-135 F4 G PZ lens", and I need an ND filter, which one should I buy? Or can I used it with a Matte Box and and ND filter? If so which one would you recommend I buy? I want to use the S-log2 and 3 but feel that it's very difficult to do so without an ND filter to keep out the excess light. Please Help Larry Gomez
I have a Lanparte MB-02 which is an insanely awesome matte box that I got as part of a great deal but it weights 3.64 lbs and is just way to cumbersome when I'm not shooting on a Red or Alexa. I'm trying to find one that's light enough for my Blackmagic Pocket CC rig but is trustworthy enough to hold filters
How do you snap in and out of zoom into close ups and further away shots in this video? This is probably a really stupid question but it could also be a very easy one to answer hopefully :)
Hi How can I use a matt box with my wide angle lenses that cannot take filters - they just have a push on lens cap and no means of attaching the filter system e.g. Panasonic 7-14mm micro 4/3rds on GH4? I enjoyed your GH4 course by the way.
+Paul Burgess use the screw on filter threads provided by Genus...it's called the GARD DO-NUT adapter and allows you to screw on the mattebox. For the super wide lenses like the 7-14 panny, you'll want the GWMC first as it's much wider than the PV... CANNNNNN have side flags.... and takes 4x4 filters 2 stages... 1 rotating which is perfect. get the thread size of the 7-14 and screw that onto the GARD and voila! you have a sickass mattebox for the 7-14 panny
HI Caleb. I set my dslr up with the tiffen lens filters and magnetic adapters just as you have and I've noticed heavy vignetting. Do you get the same? Also, when i put the matte box on with the tiffen filter on my lens, it isn't as secure and seems like it could fall off if hit the wrong way, risking knocking off the lens filter with it and breaking the glass. Do u have any workaround for that? Thanks
+DSLR Video Shooter I found if you switch to the GWMC it DOES work incredibly well with wide lenses... I drilled two 1/16th holes into the side of the GWMC after purchasing the side flags for the PV mattebox. I then drilled them out with a 2/8" bore and that was more than enough room to slip the M3 x 16 screw through the first side flag plate screw hole, through the mattebox, and into the threaded secondary Flag plate. So now I have a super wide matteboxe with side flags that does clamp on or rod based... and work with even a 14mm cooke s4i.... i know exactly
So instead of using the Cordvision cine rings, we can just use an Xume magnetic adapter since it has the right OD? I will eventually get both but for now I only have the Xume and want to see how this works for my needs without dedicating more funds.
Can you use a mattebox with a small manual lens, for example the OM Zuikos? I have the 28mm and it's tiny. Which makes me think that a follow focus would be mandatory when using a mattebox.
Xume is pronounced "Zoom". You can hear the pronunciation on their product videos. I realize this is only getting to you just over 5 years late. Video does need to be updated though as Genustech no longer makes the PV, and I re-stumbled on this video because I'm looking for a Mattebox in 2020.
Always find myself coming back to this channel
I know matte boxes. (in Neo's voice).
Thanks for this, Caleb. Best matte box info on TH-cam.
i really wish you'd use this intro music again... it's by far the best besides the real 'dslr video shooter intro music' haha. love it.
They have a great matte box too. Anyway, good job 👍🏿

Hey Caleb are the Fotga mattebox was any for beginners DP3000 ?.

Great show as always. I have learned so much from this channel.
Have you ever tried, reviewing the JTZ DP30 System?

+Sully Cortez Thank you Sully
these look awesome. Will you do another giveaway anytime soon? :P

+Frankie Figz This setup doesn't work terribly well with wide angle lenses unfortunately :-(

when using a ND filter or polarizer, do you recommend using a stepup ring? if so, how much larger would you recommend going? thanks!
So instead of using the Cordvision cine rings, we can just use an Xume magnetic adapter since it has the right OD? I will eventually get both but for now I only have the Xume and want to see how this works for my needs without dedicating more funds.
Only if you aren't using a clamp on matte box. The Xume 77mm adapters won't handle the weight of the matte box with out the cordvision adapter.
With this setup could you use the Genustech Matte Box Lite along with a circular filter for your lens?
Would the clip on Matte Box work with something like a Rokinon 16mm?
What's the best kind of lens to use for making the subjects skin look flawless without make up? (for indoor, vlog type of stuff). thanks!
Any lens with a circular polariser
Look also at the filters Pro Mist or Net Filter
caleb what brand of 4x4 nd filters do you use?
Is a cheaper one that is 3lbs too heavy for the clamp on?
You were just about to say "f***ing" 14:37
You're sooooo ffffffff freaking right! Left brain caught his Right F'ing brain! Top notch teacher caught himself! lol
what Tripod is that Caleb ? great channel.

thanks much...

It is difficult, but possible. I've done it before but like you said, focusing becomes a chore. Thats where those filter holders are great!

Good idea about the filter holders. Thanks Caleb
great vid
Pretty good.

Do you have a list for your rod system?
hi, where to buy them? Thanks
Many of the links don't work anymore?
Wow magnets, can think of so many issues with magnets and Video.
