Built rugged for daily use on your camera rig yet lightweight for handheld, gimbal, stabilizer, or drone work, the Tilta Mirage Matte Box is a modular component system that clips onto 95mm OD lenses common in the film and digital cine fields. The matte box weighs about the same as a standard 4 x 5.65" glass filter, and it accepts Tilta's 95mm round filters with the included filter adapter. The modular design means you can configure the matte box to match your needs on a shot-by-shot basis.

The Mirage comes with a rigid hood and removable top flag for cutting glare and protecting your image from overhead flare. Four included lens adapters enable mounting the Mirage Matte Box on lenses with 67, 72, 77, or 82mm threaded fronts, and an included soft case helps to protect your matte box during transport and storage. An optional 4 x 5.65" stackable filter holder lets you mount 4 x 5.65" filters on the matte box. Additionally, you can mount an optional Tilta VND system for creating precise variable ND effects remotely. Other modular components, such as a top flag, dual circular filter tray, filter protector, and rubber hood for shooting up against windows, are available separately. An optional 15mm LWS rod clamp can be attached, allowing you to mount the Mirage on rods to take the weight off your lens or use lenses with rotating fronts.

The matte box body has been designed to aid airflow with integrated vents that can reduce wind resistance and improve stability when shooting subjects at high speeds, such as in a car or on a drone.

The modular design allows you to configure your matte box in a variety of ways: from completely stripped down using only the 95mm filter holder with the lens clamp to adding a 4 x 5.65" stackable tray, the included lens hood, the included top flag, or swap the hood for an optional rubber hood. Additionally, you can add the optional 15mm LWS rod support, so you can mount the matte box to rods for handling heavier filter loads, such as the optional VND (variable neutral density) system.

Tilta's 95mm circular (round) filter system proves coverage for lenses with up to a 95mm outer lens barrel diameter, and it provides significant weight savings over traditional filters as the circular filters weigh about 1/4 the weight of traditional 4 x 5.65" glass filters.

An optional 4 x 5.65" stackable filter tray can be added between the filter clamp and matte box hood, allowing you to easily add one or two 4 x 5.65" filters to the matte box.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. 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: 3. Is it possible to have a variable ND filter in front of the lens and behind the mattebox? Perhaps using adapters and/or step up and down rings

A: Yes it is possible. You will have to consider the size of the lens, the filter and the matte box adapter rings.

Q: 4. Does this work with the Rokinon Cine DS DS14M-C 14mm T3.1?

A: We're afraid not. This system will not be compatible with that Rokinon lens, which does not have a fitler thread or the proper outside diameter to handle it.

Q: 5. 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: 6. 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.

Q: 7. can I use the step up ring For my 114mm daimeter cinema lens?

A: According to Tilta the maximum size of the MB-T15 is 85mm meaning you could use a step up ring, but you would need a pretty long focal length to prevent vignetting. We do not recommend this matte box for a 114mm diameter cinema lens.

Q: 8. can I use it with my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM and a step up ring?

A: Yes, one can use a step-up ring on the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens to adapt to the Tiltaing Mini Matte Box. An alternative is purchasing the Tilta 58mm Adapter Ring for Mini Clamp-On Matte Box. See link below: https://bhpho.to/3hVvIwT

Q: 9. I know the canon ef-s 17-55mm has a 77mm thread. Would it be fine with that lens?

A: Since the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens has a 77mm filter thread, you can use the Tiltaing Mini Matte Box's 77mm adapter ring to make the two compatible.

Q: 10. What filter size does this support?

A: Supports One 4 x 5.65" Filter, 77mm Hole
