Q: 3. How much vertical adjustment is the matte box capable of? I wanted to use a Hoodman HLVKIT Live View Kit with my D810, which will slightly raise the camera height.

A: According to Cavision this matte box set should have no problem covering the extra height created by the HLVKIT on the D810. It has approximately 2.4cm of height adjustment. The minimum distance from rods center to matte box (ie lens) center is 10.2mm and the maximum is 12.6mm. Also of note: the plate portion at the back of the rods system will elevate the camera approximately 4.2cm above the rods center.
