  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Attaching RED's Pro Matte Box to a Rail System?

Not at the time, but if you go watch the demo video that shows the DSMC Quick Release System, it shows the Red Pro Matte Box attached to rails.

Yeah I saw that so I got excited that it would mount to rails but couldn't find anything about it.
 
Oh, yes. Sorry for not posting here with update earlier. I emailed RED and asked about the matte box in the video. They said that they currently don't have any info, but the person who emailed me back said he suspects that it's a new feature that'll be added to the Pro Matte Box soon.

attaching REDs Pro Matte Box to a Rail System

We currently have a Red Scarlet X and a Matte Box.
Red recently announced a rod system but no clear direction of what is required to complete the package.
Looking through the assessories we are left with a plethora of possible options.
What components (as a minumum) does one need to attach the matte box to the Camera (using rail/rods) and then the Camera to a tripod?
 
Good news on the soon to be released accessories for the Red Mattebox but I do not think these will add the ability to rotate the filters? Adding the Rod adaptor will prevent turning the whole MB as a filt rotation technique. The extra filter stage is handy but a Pola or Grad filters are important filters and no rotation makes the Mattebox an under performer. The Red Mattebox with all the extras is not a cheap MB so I genuinely hope that the lack of rotation is addressed.
