Redrock mattebox problem

[Brandon Fraley]

I've had it for a few month now and it's been great, but i tried using it yesterday and it isn't centered in on the lens. I was having trouble getting the rubber bellows rings to stay put and eventually realized the mattebox was too low.

I don't remember this being an issue before, this seems new, but i can't find any stress points where it could have bent or anything like that.

anyone have any ideas?

May be an obvious question but did you raise the mattebox to its tallest point on the side screws?

gah, nevermind. I'm retarded. I see now the height adjustment knobs. I never used or noticed them before and apparently they finally became loose and it slid down.

It's all good now

yeah, just discovered that, Mike. Felt a little stupid but it's all back to normal. Thanks for pointing that out though
