Chrosziel HDV-HDX Matte Box

Chrosziel's Matte Box system brings professional shading and filtering solutions to Sony's HVR-Z1U and V1U, plus Panasonic's HVX camcorders. Loaded with the benefits operators have come to expect from Alfred Chrosziel, features include a true 16:9 housing that covers both 16:9 and 4:3, filterstage for 2 filterholders (one 4x4 rotating [402-12] and one 4x4/4x5.650 fixed [410-04]), a full-size French flag, and 110:72mm screw-in adapter ring. For a secure mount, the system comes with a center bracket and lightweight support with adjustable matte box rods .

Chrosziel's efficient design includes many new operating advantages. The HDV Matte Box is compatible with both wide and tele attachments. Dual pivot mechanisms are integrated into the housing for more cost efficient use of side wings. The system's articulating French flag can be teamed with optional side wings for precise manipulation of light. Protection against flair and loss of contrast is provided by a 16:9 insert mask. A one-sided quick-lock mechanism anchors both sides of the system with a simple twist of a knob. Truncated filterholders offer clearance for the camcorder's microphone.
