Matte box

[Rolando Munoz]

Hello, i am waiting for my Scarlet! Since i have been a Canon 7D user in the past 2 years, my glass is of course, Canon SLR. My question is: wich matte box can be useful for this combination (Scarlet + canon SLR)? Is there any mattebox that works with both Scarlet and 7D? Thx for your answers!

I havent been a Canon user for long and Scarlet for even less, so I am interested in simple quick and inexpensive rig solutions as well.

Any mattebox will work with any camera, it has nothing to do with Scarlet or 7D. It's just a matter of how the mattebox is supported (rods or clamp-on) and how it will interface with the lens (clamp-on or rod mount)

There are already a number of threads about matteboxes on REDUSER. Please search/browse the forums (the DSMC Accessories forum has a few Mattebox threads) before posting a new thread... However, I suggest looking at the Genus Elite with a "Nun's Nickers" lens interface, or the OConnor O-Box.

Both can be supported by 15mm LW rods, which you can put on the Scarlet with the Viewfactor FMJ Bottom Plate and 15mmLWS bracket, or the equivalent from WoodenCamera.

Enjoy.
