Matte box

Description: The Tilta Mirage VND kit pairs the ultra-light Mirage matte box with a built-in 95 mm variable ND (VND) filter module. A single tray lets you dial exposure smoothly from ND 0.3 to ND 2.7, so there is no filter swapping mid-shoot – ideal for daylight exteriors, gimbal and handheld work.

Details: The VND module’s PL + CPL technology keeps colours accurate even at maximum density, and the hard stops rule out cross-pattern shadows. The 15 mm LWS support mounts the matte box on rods, and the Nucleus Nano motor adapter allows motorised, remote ND control (the Nucleus Nano motor is rented separately). Smaller lenses need an adapter ring – please confirm the available rings and additional circular filters when requesting a quote.
