The JTZ DP30 Filmmaker System offers a great set of classic rig-parts in a high-end fashion. JTZ is the high-end brand from Fotga!
This video is about the the Mattebox, check my channel for the other parts like followfocus, battery plate, cage, shoulder-kit, and JTZ Link (a system of amazing remote-functions). Some will be available in a while!

Awesome review, Lucas! You just helped me make my purchase decision. Just bought this mattebox on Amazon!
Danke Lucas, macht einen guten Eindruck! Jetzt muss ich das Ding nur noch bezahlbar gebraucht finden...
My guy!!! Thank you just got it..love it!!! This helped alot..
Good job my friend. Greetings from Lima - Perú
Questions:
1) When you adjust the height to its lowest can you still push the 15mm rods all the way forward or will it hit the bottom of the mattebox?
2) Will I need a riser for a Sony mirrorless camera or is the minimum height going to be at a good height?
3) What is the weight of the mattebox with and without the flags?
I'm comparing this to the Shape mattebox which looks identical.
.Thanks for this great review....how much is the weight of the mattebox, without flags attached? ...
To mount the topflag under the matte box: If you use the whole system upside-down under a tripod the sun will blocked and everything will be ok.
Ich stehe ein wenig auf dem Schlauch :o
@@LucasPfaff Moin. Ok, wenn man sehr tief mit der Kamera muss, dann kann man sie an der Mittelsäule über Kopf (also Kopf nach unten) befestigen. Dann kann man das Topflag "oben" befestigen, also an der "unteren" Seite...uff, ich schick mal einen Link, das erklärt mehr...
Guckst Du ab 04:59 th-cam.com/video/OwMLv-u8YUk/w-d-xo.html
@@StudioBonn ja das verstehe ich soweit. Bezieht sich wohl auf ein Detail was ich im Video gesagt hab? Es ist zum Mäuse melken, ich bin so vergesslich ich muss manchmal meine eigenen Videos nochmal schauen um mich an meine Meinung zu erinnern
@@LucasPfaff Oh, ich wollte da jetzt kein großes Ding daraus machen...es sah im Video so aus, als ob die Befestigung des Topflags an der Unterseite für Dich sinnlos wäre, da wollte ich nur kurz weiterhelfen...also alles gut! 🤗
Deine Videos sehe ich immer wieder gerne, fundiert und mit spürbar viel Engagement. Danke dafür...
Hello, Lucas. Thanks for your very thorough review. I am curious whether it is possible to remove the top handle, if for example you wanted to save some weight or just lower the height of the matte box for storage. I can see that it isn't necessarily designed to be removed from your video, but can you tell whether there are screws connecting the handle to the front of the filter tray assembly? I could see them possibly going in from the front or from the back, but I can't find pictures or videos of the matte box where it is obvious whether or not there are any such screws. Thanks in advance for your attention :)
Hi there Matthew, I had a look at the matter. It seems that the handle is attached with five relatively small screws, and they sit in the tray for the frontal filter: i.imgur.com/MmMs1e0.jpg
Now to unscrew them you'd have to detach the whole filter-holder first, but I think it's managable :)
Thanks, Lucas! Very helpful :)
Hi, thanks for your review! I have one question, the lens adapter rings are meant to be screwed on like round photo filters, or are they meant to "slide" on the front of the lens?
Sliding. They are meant for cine lenses with standardized front diameters
Is it possibile to mount it on a Tilta cage for sonya7siii? And what about the vnd and polarizer you could mount on it? About metal adapter rings for 77mm lens and 82mm? It's because I don't like those kind of brushes to put on the lenses. Thank you.
It's standard 15mm rods and aimed to target standard LWS height. If your Tilta cage does offer that (at least the latter I can't know), then you can of course mount it there.
There are 4x4 polarizers and VNDs, the latter consisting of two elements which need to be rotated individually.
Hi Lucas, my son's names Lucas, anyways, I love your reviews and I love the JTZ, so thankful you found it. How did you come across it? I can't find any other reviews on it. I have question. Some photos of JTZ on Amazon shows a EVF pictured with JTZ logo on the EVF, but I cannot find any EVF. Have you found the EVF? Would love to hear a review from you on the EVF, if you ever get it. Look forward to future reviews Sir!
brendon thompson hey there,
he has a great name I think :)
haha that EVF... I also noticed it and obviously asked right away, it's still in development and was originally targeted for May/June release. no idea when it will come for real though, I hope I can afford to review it :)
Lucas Pfaff
Lucas, can the handle on the ViiGim (? can't remember how to spell it, it's the one with the batteries in the handle) cage for the G7 be attached on the side of the cage for gripping it?
Appreciate your videos and prompt responses!
Have a great day!
-Brendon
You'd need an adapter as the handle is meant for rosette connection. I think SmallRig has such adapters that you can screw to any cage :)
Just bought the 4X5.65 version and have 2 major problems. The first being that the swing away mechanism seems to be locked, and I have tried unscrewing the two screws on the side handle without any luck. I can forcefully move it but I feel like it is grinding. Did you have any issues with the swing away out of the box? 2nd is that the height of the rod block doesn't allow the mattebox to be slid forward. It just runs into the filters. I adjusted the height but it still barely makes it on the rails. Reached out to JTZ but haven't heard anything back.
Hi there Sean!
Hm, my Mattebox doesn't grind but it's not an easy swing for sure! Can you make out where the grinding is coming from? Maybe a bit og sand/dust is trapped there and needs some cleaning/WD40?
The mattebox has to be on the front of the rods, you can not push further; that's a common problem with many large matteboxes, as they can't get "higher" (else they derive from the standards). As the filters are ~10cm wide and the rods 6cm apart, it can only collide with the filters when pushed through; no? I guess that's when a 19mm rod-system becomes the kicker :o
Hi. There's also a 4x5.65 version of this mattebox. I can't find anywhere details regarding those. Do you think that 4x5.65 tray can hold 4x4 as well?
kookiMonst4 sorry, I can't tell :( I'd ask your reseller! :)
Is the 4 x 4 Matte okay to use with a Canon C series Mark II with 70 -200 mm lens? Or would it be better to get a wider 4 x 5.67 since this a cinema camera? Does it affect the ratio aspect?
4x4 is a standard in cinema too, so... :) generally they are not meant wo have a larger window, they are meant for graduated filters; the window is still 4x4. I don't know how it should affect aspect ratio?
Would you recommend razor?
That lens is looking mighty close to the edge of the table....
Hi what would you recommend.. Fotga or JTZ Mattebox? What are the main differences between these 2 ? Thanks
The main differences are build-quality and functionaility. While all matteboxes do more or less the same, holding filters and block light, not all can withstand heavy force or have many threads and a handle on them. The JTZ is also more interesting with larger cine lenses, as it doesn't use the conventional donuts. In such setups it works much better because of that :) so depending on what you search for, both options are great :)
Hi Lucas.. Thank you very much for your kind reply.
Hey, Lucas, JTZ told me they didn't think their DP30 would work with my Lumix G7. I'd like to get it because it looks crazy cool and seems like such a great investment for the features it offers for price. I also want something that will allow me to grow as I make future camera purchases. I'd like to eventually upgrade my camera to the GH5. What's your thoughts. Will the G7 really not work in the DP30 by JTZ?
brendon thompson I actually tried it before because I own the G7 (I film my reviews with it), and u fortunately the base plates don't fit properly :( neither the GH3/4 one, nor the GH5 one :(
Lucas Pfaff
Lucas,
Could you use a cafe that's made for the G7 but install it with all of the JTZ accessories, matte box, battery supply, handle, etc.?
You're the only person I've seen do a review of any of JTZ's products. They should send you products for free to review.
Later, Sir!
-Brendon
Sorry for me asking, but what do you mean with "cafe" in this context? Where I live that's the word for a coffee shop... :)
Lucas Pfaff
iPhone corrected cage. I meant cage, not cafe. Sorry about that. ;)
Just wondering if a person could use a cage for the G7 and then use that G7 cage with the JTZ system to get the G7 to work with the JTZ accessories.
9:40 - 😆 💪
LowLightVideos Well, this hot body doesn't maintain itself
Hello Lucas,
Thank you for your review. I've got this mattebox, and it's an awesome one (the 4x5.65 version for my pro 4.6k), but I have a hard time to adjust the height. I loosen the screw like you did, but when I turn the top screw top adjust height, it blocks. Do you have an idea ? Thank you
+Fun Fun I could imagine that it's already at the end of the road or it's hitting against something else, like the rails?
Can you somehow identify what's blocking it? The mechanism is well observable on my model
Unfortunately, I cannot go down nor go up when I turn the screw. It blocks after 2-3 rounds. I am going to upload a vid. Maybe you will see something I don't see myself. Thank you for your fast answer by the way Lucas. Regards.
Fun Fun Ok send me a video I'll have a look! I'm not home for a few hours but in the evening I'll have a look at mine what might cause it
Thank you very much Lucas !
+Fun Fun Ok I can't find any hidden blockers, so I think we have to rule out things like rails etc. I'd try to swing away the mattebox front and see if it works then, because like this nothing like rails or the part that attaches to the rails blocks the part
9:45 LOL
I have a 15mm rod system. Will this work with that?
DJBFilmz totally fits to standard 15mm rod systems :)
@@LucasPfaff LWS or studio?
Apparently LWS.
@@BorisDessimond LWS. Truth be told, 15mm studio is so exotic I never saw it in low price gear
@@LucasPfaff Thanks
Its good also to train your biceps :D hahaha Lol
Hii bro lucas
Is this 4×4 or 4×5 ?
This one is 4x4 but I believe they also sell a large one :)
@@LucasPfaff thank you bro🙏😊 but is it ok to set 4×5 on my Panasonic gh5s?
@@shiva6104 that depends a bit if you need the additional size or not :o
@@LucasPfaff thank you bro 🙏🕉😊
Carbon Fiber ... not plastic? right
Questions:
1) When you adjust the height to its lowest can you still push the 15mm rods all the way forward or will it hit the bottom of the mattebox?
2) Will I need a riser for a Sony mirrorless camera or is the minimum height going to be at a good height?
3) What is the weight of the mattebox with and without the flags?
I'm comparing this to the Shape mattebox which looks identical.
I can answer 1) and 2) straight away, I have to measure for 3) later on :)
1) No, unfortunately :(
2) "good height" is a matter of taste. It's the standard height and can adjust a bit up and down. If your Sony mirrorless sits on a proper base following that, you're totally fine; if it sits "directly on the rails", it will be too low
Hey mate its 1.3kg without flags and 1.8 with the flags
