The Wooden Camera Zip Box holds one 4 x 4" filter and is useful for handheld, stabilized, and drone filming where a small profile and low weight is desirable. The Zip Box clamps to the front of lenses with exterior diameter ranging from 80-85mm. The design of the rubber hood allows you to use the Zip Box with many wide-angle lenses without vignetting.

You might more accurately refer to the Zip Box as a filter holder instead of a matte box as it is designed to hold a single filter and when empty weighs about the same as a standard filter. The unibody rubber design and stainless steel clamp provide a secure grip on your lens. Optional Zip Box Adapter Rings are available for adapting this Zip Box to work with select lenses that have an outer diameter smaller than 80mm and a variety of threaded lens fronts.

For Lenses with O.D. Between 80 and 85mm    Rubber Shade with Stainless Steel Clamp    Clamps Directly on Lens    Supports a Single Filter

As with all clamp-on hoods, it is advisable to use the Zip Box on a lens with a non-rotating front, or the filter will rotate while focusing and may vignette your image.

The rubber hood has a grove on the inside edge that holds the filter securely without using a filter tray.
