Add a matte box to your rig with this Misfit Kick Mk II Matte Box Core from Bright Tangerine. It features the core frame, carbon fiber shade, and a two-stage adjustable filter stage assembly, expandable to three-stage by adding a third tray. Ultra-compact and lightweight, this matte box can go from accepting one, two, or three separately available 4 x 4 or 4 x 5.65" filter trays or the ONE Tray.

The matte box core is compatible with Bright Tangerine frame-safe clamp adapters, allowing you to attach the matte box to a wide range of lens sizes from 80 to 143mm. You can also add optional top and bottom flags, available separately. The Misfit Kick Mk II also supports optional rod-mount, clip-on, or swing-away bracket assemblies for more efficient lens swaps.

Core of Misfit Kick Mk II System    Fits Three 4 x 4/4 x 5.65" Filter Trays    Carbon Fiber Shade, Aluminum Frame    Built-In 2- to 3-Stage Adjustability

The Misfit Kick Mk II can adapt to any lens using a range of optional Frame Safe clamp adapters, offering an extra wide field of view for large format sensors and wide lenses.

The Misfit Kick Mk II features an all-new patented reveal stage design, making it more robust and easier to operate in the field, converting from a 2-stage to a 3-stage matte box without any extra hardware or tools, just a third filter tray.

Rather than use ball bearings like traditional matte boxes, the Misfit Kick Mk II uses a new spring system in combination with a protruding ridge to secure the filter trays, creating a positive locking position with tactile feedback for increased confidence when loading filters.

For even more security, a filter guard can be mounted onto the bottom of the sunshade. When working in fast-paced environments like on a tracking vehicle, drone, or jib, a safety loop provides a secure tethering point for a safety wire or lanyard.

For additional light protection, add the optional quick release top flag, side flags, or hard mattes for precise control over flares and image contrast. Knurled, captive locking screws are used to secure filters in place, preventing screws from going missing while in the field.

The sunshade is built from high-grade carbon fiber and the reveal system from CNC-cut hard anodized aluminum for extra strength while staying lightweight.

Q: 3. Will this allow the Misfit atom to clamp on to a Sony 18-110 lens? SELP18110G

A: I have the Sony 28-135 and found I could use the clamp-on ring around the front of the lens, although it is a tight fit and doesn't slide on fully due to the tabs Sony put on the lens to mount the standard hood. However, it does stay on okay. I measured the diameter before ordering, but those tabs make it uncertain and I haven't got my hands on an 18-110 yet.
