RED Matte Box

[Adrian T.]

Found the RED matte box in the store:
http://www.red.com/store/product_detail/154

No price tag yet.

But looking at the picture I see the following:
- clamp on
- dual 4x5.65" fixed stages

Considering the astounding price of a matte box and Red's aggressive policy, I'm sure it'll be worth it...

 

[Tim Bradley]

Some more details would be nice

Price ??
and other options e.g. mounts??

 

[FractureD]

Wish they announced a follow focus too, but one step at a time I guess.

I do wonder if the price will be competitive with Chroszeil but with the quality of Arri. How far can their rebellion go?

This matte box looks very well built, I'm sure it will stand up to its price (just under 1k?)

 

[Jason Ing]

anyone have a pic of the inside color of the matte box?

This matte box looks cool n all, but its worthless. ITS NOT MATTE nor black

Um, matte boxes are not called matte because of the surface finish. It's because they were originally used to hold an image matte in front of the camera to control the shape of the frame. :whistling:

Also, the inside of the red matte box is a flat black finish like every other matte box on the market, so it will work just fine.

This matte box looks cool n all, but its worthless. ITS NOT MATTE nor black, so in reality this is not a matte box that would be used in the professional world. Light will be bounced around in there like a jumping jack possibly resulting in glare, streaks and loss of contrast. But hey, it looks nice no?:sarcasm:
Whats going on RED? EPIC=5k for 30,000?!

actually.. it is Matte. There is a "shiney" display model you may of seen, but in the booth and in production, the mattebox is indeed... matte.

Cool info. How do you know? (not for the history of the matte box, but for inside finish?) :shifty:

Thanks. Cancel my late post. :mail1:

Price? And what happened to the swing away version?

I held it in my hands at the Red booth. :usd:

I think less then $1k. For now I am waiting for the swing-away version or for more info on the Arca from VFS.

Anybody check out the RedRockMirco matte box at NAB? Back of the central hall. 795 bucks, 19mm friendly and it is swing away. Looks nicely built too.

I was in the RED booth for a brief time - just too crowded. Is there an online pic of the RED matte box? Available when?

 

[Alexis Hanawalt]

one question: will red announce details and pricing before the redrock ships?

Thats what one of the good guys at the booth told me today...it looks great.

 

[hamtheman]

less than 1k?! I may have to get it...

I saw RedRock's Mattebox yesterday. Looked and felt great.

It has swing away and 19mm. They had one on a Red. Very nicely built. Even had nice click when centering the rotating stages (just like Arri).

After I left RedRock, I went over to Arri's booth and compared to the MB-20. Felt and operated pretty much the same.

Oh, gee. I might have made a fool of my self *Edits first post* I take what I said back

Is the one on scarlet also going to be matte?
