Enhanced Filter Support

The Mirage Pro Matte Box can be equipped with three 4×5.65 rectangular filter trays, offering ample space for filters, allowing users to achieve the desired visual effects. The filter trays feature an independent safe locking mechanism, with each tray secured by a tie-down screw to prevent accidental disconnections. Whether you're adjusting exposure or manipulating light, this matte box ensures that your filters stay securely in place throughout the shoot.

Professional Build and Design

Crafted for professionals, the Mirage Pro Matte Box incorporates advanced features for enhanced usability and durability. It includes 1/4”-20 threads with locating points on the mounting location for the top flag, providing space for attaching accessories when the flag is not in use. This makes the matte box adaptable to a variety of filming scenarios, whether you're mounting additional gear or focusing on the essentials.

Comprehensive Light Control

Designed to offer precise light management, the Mirage Pro Matte Box comes with a top flag and removable four-sided carbon fiber flags to block and control light flares. The top flag features 55° side extensions, providing additional light coverage when needed. For even more light control, the hard matte kit includes five sizes of hard mattes, tailored to meet different light-blocking needs. The interior of the matte box, along with the top flag, is treated with an anti-glare coating using Tilta’s unique technology, which diffuses excess light and reduces unwanted reflections, ensuring clearer, more accurate shots.

Portability and Storage

To ensure smooth transitions between shooting locations, the Mirage Pro Matte Box includes a carrying case that efficiently stores commonly used accessories. This case adapts seamlessly to different shooting environments, allowing for quick setup and storage, and enhancing the speed and efficiency of your workflow.

Lightweight and Modular Design

The Mirage Pro Matte Box features a magnetic, removable front hood, allowing you to reduce the overall weight for weight-sensitive setups like gimbals or drones. While this may expose the filters to potential flares, the weight reduction makes it an ideal choice for dynamic shooting conditions where every ounce counts. The modular design lets you configure the matte box according to your specific needs, giving you the flexibility to adjust to any situation.
