During Cine Gear 2024, Tilta introduced a new version of their Mirage matte box: the Mirage Pro. This upgraded model can take up to three 4 x 5.65" filters and comes with a six-stop electronic VND that can be controlled by the Nucleus Nano II wireless follow focus. The Mirage Pro has a swing-away design compatible with 15mm and 19mm rods but can also be attached directly to your lens via the included eleven clamp-on adapter rings from 80 to 136mm.

I really, really hope this is an E.N.D. That comes to market. Feel like we get to see one of them every couple of years but no one ever can buy one
I hope they fix few problems:
-sliding in seem to stuck somewhere. you can clearly see in the video. pulling out and sliding in shows some resistance
-fix color shift of the VND like in the previsous tilta mirage version
-fix the motor to freeze after 10min + like in the tilta mirage version in combination with usb-c with DJI RS4
-fix the motor can not be powered on via usb-c after 10 minutes +
-find a solution for the vignetting issue (I know it's a general proble of polarisation filter in vombination with wide angle lenses). you can offer 2 VND filters with different ranges
add support for conrtrol vie DJI Ronin RS 2/3/4
Tilta is a good company for us on a tight budget.
No rotation means no purchase. 😢
Uhh, is that electronic VND available?
Hello, Please how long does the set of 2 rechargeable batteries for Mirage last, in normal use without switching off the motor or the remote control ?
I've had gripes with Tilta on a lot of their products. They've had some misfires for sure. That said, the one product from Titla I recommend (keep in mind I do own a misfit kick 3) is the Tilta Mirage. Hopefully this one holds up and helps creatives get a more professional matte box at an attainable price. Maybe I'll even get lucky and they'll send me a free one because of the misfortune I had that is the Tilta Hydra (one of, if not the worst investments I've made in camera gear).
I’m impressed by this mattebox from what I saw at the show. Pretty impressive pricing too.
Tilta is killing it.
Yep! I really liked this design from what I saw - especially that pivot mechanism.
@@CameraGraham - How about that Electronic ND drop-in filter?
@@chrisjenkins9978I’ll be honest this wasn’t an ideal testing environment for that, so I’ll need to reserve judgement until we get our hands on one for testing!
Dkes that electronic nd fit in the tilts mirage??
If they fixed the vignetting issue and made the optics better, I'm in.
you can't fault the mirage on the vignetting for the size, especially because they gave you decent glass and a very attainable price point. People ballin on a budget just had to learn how to correct a bit in post. Not the best matte box but freakin' solid for the price.
@@buddyfx7026 It's definitely decent for the price point. It's also light. But at a similar price point, the Freewell Eiger doesn't have vignetting and the optics are superior. Albeit, the e-nd is going to be incredible.
Are the clamp on plate ARRI LMB4 standard just like bright tangerine does with the misfit kick ? They seem to use the same mounting style but curious if its really the same or not.
This is incredible
Looks like a great solution, higher adjustment compared to ARRI FSND or static Filters in trays like what’s mostly used today. I’m looking forward to renting this and checking the color accuracy. ARRI & Tiffen aren’t easy to beat. I also like that this tilts like an ARRI SMB. A concern would be that USB Port. I’ve seen these break on laptops and consumer electronics way to often. It’s a fast connection but a DIT Station won’t be put trough the same conditions as a camera in the field. Tilta used the standard Lemo that most cameras cater towards on their accessories in the past…
Looks really promising - I wonder if we would still be able to use those 1x1 / 95mm filters like with the previous model in a tray with it.
And since this VND is square it must be electronic so very likely there's not going to be any color shifting which would be great.
Is there an approximate release date for this matte box solution?
Is it a VND or END filter?
Love it! Let’s connect?
basically nothing new
New no, but there is NOTHING over 95mm in this price range, let alone the ability to adapt and build it to your needs. I've been in the market for a matte box over 95mm to fit Atlas Orion's and the prices are outrageous and options are super limited... so good job Tilta for filling a whole in the current market.
Is it just me or most people don't realize that 6 stops is like having 0 stops? 7 stops on Sony cameras, still not enough. 10 stops is the minimum if you want to use anything bigger than f2.8, but somehow milllions of people are talking about how great Sony VNDs are :) Should we start using these things or we just like talking about specs? :)
Huh?
With 3 stages, you can have a 4 stop ND standing by and use it when you're outdoors, and then pull it when going inside; and then still have an available stage for something else. Seems pretty solid to me.
6 Stops is plenty. I'd just stack a hard IRND on it when in bright situations.
…. Or just get a proper camera with internal ND’s….
Have you shot outside before? Even with internal NDs, you need external ones too.
@@AlmightyUniden Nope, unless you need to be at full open like 1.8 or 1.2. It’s just easier to lower ISO or alternate the shutter for that specific shot. Not a single soul will notice a difference.
@@sa.t.2507 It's not an every day scenario but at certain times of the year, here in Canada, around noon we can be on basically ND 2.1 with a polarizer. I shoot mainly tv shows and movies but we rarely, if ever, go lower than native ISO (which is usually 800) and we shoot at 2.8 mostly.
@@AlmightyUniden well here where I live it’s the same but if we really need that crazy type of shallow DOF on full frame we either lower the ISO or just alter the shutter. Getting out ND’s is just way too messy for something that no one will see the difference on. I love shooting on my FF Sigma 35mm 1.2 wide open, but it hardly works for everything anyway..
@@sa.t.2507 We shoot super35 for the type of narrative work we do but altering the shutter speed is such a big no no..
We usually run 3 camera assistants per cam so 6 total. Getting the exposure right or taking the time to do it is a priority.
I wish you guys didn’t follow NewsShooter around the venue. I’ve already seen the Tilta equipment on TH-cam already.
We are not following anyone...We have our own plan and schedule for publishing those show videos. Thank you!
man what a crazy thing to say, you don't have to watch anything on youtube if you don't want to.
@@CineD Obviously the big news this year is the C400 and GH7 which you’ve already gotten out of the way, and it seems that not much else is happening at CineGear. Such is life. But when your publishing competition beats you out the door by about 10 hours, then it’s probably time to change up the schedule. That’s just good business. Tomorrow I might watch a second video about the Tilta products to see if CineD managed to pick up something different, but putting the same content out within hours means you at the very least missed out on me as a viewer. Take care.
