Nice. Does the Eiger VND have hard stops to avoid cross pattern?
yes it does!
Any suggestions for a Matt Box for a GP11 with Max Lens Mod, sitting near/against the bubble of my heli? Get a lot of light spill.
man due to how wide that lens is there isn't really anything on the market that will work unfortunately...
Thanks for the video, it's really helpful!
Quick question here: I've got a standard freewell vadiable nd filter (not magnetic). Could I use that one with this matte box and would it be possible to adjust that filter using the knob like you showed in the video?
Or should I buy a specific nd filter? Thank you!!
for the VND knob to work with this matte box you need the one that comes with the package
The standard variable nd from freewell works with the smallrig mini matte box
@@LoganKingMedia Thank you!!
Can I use it with the original magnetic VND system? I assume you have to reach in the front to turn it like before?
according to freewell it is compatible with their magnetic filters but not the magnetic VND system
Can you adjust how high the gradual grey filter sits in the frame or is ot just in the middle by default? Does this clamp directly onto lenses with 95mm outer diameter?
you can adjust it as you slide it in. I think this could clamp to lenses with a 95mm diameter but I haven't tested it so not totally sure
I have the PolarPro Basecamp but planning to migrate to this one. It's more versatile, cheaper yet good filters, and you can easily take out all filters out in low light and just keep the matte box on while the basecamp it pretty tedious if you wanna take the CPL out and in.
wow! I haven't used the basecamp but good to know about some of the differences
@@JakeSloan Also the CPL made tiny bubbles within like 2-3 months of use, and the golden colors got washed out in like 1-2 months. It's not the quality product that some people made me think it is, although been using it thoroughly and it's not too bad either if you can be causious and avoid the cross pattern or the extremely blue cast at the very end. Hard stops are the way to go. PolarPro made this new trend of matte boxes but they're lagging behind now. Smallrig and Tilta both have bad filters and other flaws until I saw this Freewell Eiger which is nearly perfect, especially for my 200-600mm G (95mm filter thread) and ultra wide lenses.
I recently bought the Freewell K2. I wish the filters of the K2 were compatible with the Eiger system. Nevertheless great system, although i picked the K2 first so i don't think i will buy the Eiger at the moment.
The Freewell K2 and this are different use cases, a Matte box isn't needed for most situations honestly. I do wish they had made the slot in filters compatible and it makes no sense to me why they didn't I use the k2 system more than I use the Eiger system due to the winds I operate in, the matte box becomes a big sail in winds
I knew this was a special rig from your air 3 video
LOL thanks Eddie
Take notes Edward
wow thank you so much I'm totally loving this vid...
(Hello Dad)
cheers
Why is it so much cheaper than all the others?
Some depends on size and how you plan to use it. Some of the more expensive ones are larger and heavier duty or they are built to handle specific slide in filters
The magnetic filters are impossible to pull off… Useless….
No they aren’t
Like everything in life, there's always something that works for somebody. Magnetic filters are amazing for me, easy to put in and quite powerful enough to stay in place. 😅
Thanks Jake for the video and the use case demos.
This guy posts this same nonsense on EVERY Eiger Mattebox thread. He clearly has problems with his fingers.
