The Tiltaing Mini Matte Box from Tilta is a lightweight, compact matte box with interchangeable mounting systems that suits small mirrorless or DSLR cameras. It accepts one standard 4 x 5.65" filter without the use of filter trays and includes four adapter rings to attach the matte box to the lens. The included carbon fiber top flag helps block veiling glare or bright reflections from striking your lens, and it can be folded down to cover the front of the matte box and provide protection to the front of your lens.

The matte box can be mounted onto the included 3.9" rod with the 15mm rod clamp. There are multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads as well as shoe mounts on the matte box exterior that allow you to mount additional accessories. The matte box fits around lenses with an 87mm diameter without an adapter, and the included 67, 72, 77, and 82mm threaded adapter rings allow you to use the matte box with lenses of different sizes and diameters. Separately available cine 80 and 85mm adapter rings can be used for cine-style lenses and other non-standard lens adapters are available separately.

Q: 1. Is there an option to mount a round filter stage in the back?

A: This support one 4 x 5.65" Filter. It may be possible to attach a filter to the lens itself with a filter thread, but that is not recommended and may not be possible with thicker filters.

Q: 2. can i use a 82mm ND VARIABLE FILTER in a 77mm lens? thanks!

A: You would not be able to use a Variable ND filter with this system.

Q: 3. If I wanted to buy cover caps for these adapter rings so I can leave them on the lenses, what size would I look for? I see 85mm is the largest size to fit through matte box, but does that mean I’d look for 85mm cover caps or...? Thanks

A: You would need 85mm.

Q: 4. Can it be used in combination with a 77mm lens and 77mm Newer VND?

A: This will depend on the thickness of the Variable ND and is not something we recommend. It may or may not work on a case by case basis.

Q: 5. Can this clamp onto a lens without the threaded adapters if the lens has the correct outer diameter? What outer diameter would make this possible?

A: According to the manufacturer, the Tiltaing Mini Matte Box (B&H# TIMBT15) has an approximate opening size of 87mm: https://bit.ly/3KErKFF However, that is just an opening and not a clamp. As such, my answer to your question is no, you need to use a threaded adapter. Adapters for lenses with these sizes of front filter threads are included with the kit: 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, and 82mm.

Q: 6. All of my lenses are 67mm diameter. So if I use the 67mm adapter that comes with this to attach the matte box will I still be able to use my 67mm circular filters that I bought like my VND?

A: Yes, you will be able to. Just put the filter on the lens, and then the matte box over it.

Q: 7. What is the largest circular filter size allowed for by the female threading on the adapter ring? Would it be possible to use an 82mm filter with a 77mm step down ring to attach to the adapter ring to use inside the matte box for example?

A: According to Tilta 85mm would be the largest. A 77mm to 82mm step up ring would allow you to use the 82mm clamp on attachment with an 82mm filter on a 77mm lens.

Q: 8. Can I attached 72mm B+W XS Pro Variable ND to the 72mm adapter ring? Does it fits?

A: Tilta states that Variable ND filters can be too thick to fit in this way. It is not recommended.

Q: 9. Does this come with adapter rings and a top flag or just the matte box?

A: Yes, a top flag and adapter rings are included with the Tilta Mini Matte Box.
