Something that I forgot to mention is that this is a "budget" option. Finding a matte box with VND at this price is rare and that's why I can forgive a lot of the inconveniences. Sorry if I forgot to say that, my light broke in the middle of filming this video and it threw me off. I hope this clarification helps!
A honest and genuine review, thank you. Ive had my matte box for a few months and have a serious issue with turning the variable ND. It's OK turning one way and then becomes stuck turning it back. I think maybe the Nisi matte box might be better.
I'm glad you liked the video. I'm sorry to hear about your matte box, I think that's one big issue with smallrig, their quality control is not always the best. Yeah, NiSi was actually my other option, it seems really good.
having same issue and all simmod cinerings are at 77mm - which is flush across all Zeiss Contax are 77mm and the 77mm ring adaptor is next to impossible to get on - then to stay on .. Im using tape at the moment .. and I just got it - brand new - crestfallen ! :(
Hello, I bought this along with a whole rig set and I’m trying to use it with different kind of photo lenses ( Canon 85mm, 50mm ) and I keep getting error messages from the lens. Apparently it seems to be heavy for it when the lens is trying to focus. Is there any solution for that?
