Wasn't there a good priced Arri MB/FF combo coming?

[Mitch Gross]

It is not the Donan.

The MB28 will be somewhere between the cost of the MB20 and the MB14. It's not a priced product yet so I don't want to make pricing promises, but the idea is to be a less-sizable and less-expensive alternative to the massive MB14.

Are you accepting orders yet for the MB-28?

No, we don't even have a product code from Arri or a price yet. We don't even know when they'll deliver them, although we expect sometime this year.

In the same class is the Chrosziel 450 series that will take 4.565 filters, top load, 2 stages, plus a 4x4 rotating stage. Depending on the lens, that could vignette... Top, bottom and side flags available, FF. The follow focus isn't nearly as nice as the Arri, but you can use grads.

However, it doesn't clip on. 15mm lightweight support.

The Chros. takes one 4x5.65 and one 4x4. The 4x4 is the one that rotates. The Arri takes two 4x5.65 and the rear one rotates. You'll always have more room to work with on a larger filter and you could buy a vertical grad and use it in the rear stage for more control than a 4x4 would give.
