The K&F Mini Matte Box incorporates unique, useful features normally found in more expensive matte boxes; specifically, two dedicated 4” x 5.65” filter holders, and the ability to attach circular filters to the various lens adapter rings, of which five sizes are included. This allows for the use of a combination of both filter types concurrently. So, for example, placing a three stop 4 x 5.65 ND filter in front of a 1 – 5 stop VND filter, effectively increases the VNDs range to 5 – 9 stops, very useful for shooting video in a bright situation. This, in terms of my work, provides a broad range of versatility when it comes to the use of filters. As I write this it is being offered with a 20% coupon, bringing its price to $52. With or without the discount, it’s a lot of Mini Matte Box with a lot of versatility at its price point. Other than the knurled locking knob assemblies for holding the flag in position and attaching the Matte Box to a lens adapter ring, the Matte Box is made entirely from a matte finished carbon fiber, for a very lightweight assembly. The two locking knobs are easily accessible, incorporating simple, but effective mechanisms. The rectangular filter pivoting lock mechanism was new to me, as was the use of the rectangular filter holders. In fact, they caused me some frustration until I figured out that in order to insert a filter, the tab must be pulled away from the filter in the lengthwise direction. I wasn’t comprehending the illustration and kept trying to pinch it, to no avail. Once I figured that out, inserting filters into the holders and then the holders into the Matte Box went smoothly. When using two filters, or in my case, any filters, be careful releasing the associated lock; the outer filter is designed to pop up when released, but could pop out if being held in an accommodating orientation. As K&F asserts, the Matte Box incorporates 1/4' and 3/8” threads and a cold shoe. The interior is also lined with black felt to reduce reflections, a thoughtful touch. K&F also says to expect future expandability to include side and rail extension boards, that I take to mean the addition of side flags. As such, providing more versatile light control; I’ve never understood the logic of just one flag on a Matte Box, considering that more than one light may be in use or that reflections can come from any angle. As a suggestion to K&F Concept, if more flags are created in the course of expandability, coat their interior surfaces with a non-reflective matt black material. K&F delivers the Matt Box with a quality hard case to fit and protect it and the filter adapters. I have no criticism but plenty of enthusiasm for K&F Concepts new Mini Matte; it is a filter holder and a means of light control for both video and still photography.

thought this matte box could help my photography, but I was very disappointed when on opening the box, there are no instructions. Googles the item and found a few videos which really didn't help much but I got the gist of it. Most matte boxes have top and side flaps, This only has a top one so you are a bit limited on keeping reflections away from the camera lens. Once you realise how to gt the side filter trays out - there a catch to the side you are presented with two trays, but no filters. Shame but these can be bought online. The matte box comes with a number of filters to screw mount onto your lens.

recently took this matte box on a weekend shoot for a short film project. The lightweight carbon fiber design made it easy to handle, and the matte finish effectively blocked stray light, which was crucial for capturing clear, high-contrast shots. The filter system was versatile and secure, allowing me to swap filters smoothly without worrying about any slipping. With the included adapter rings, it fit perfectly on my various lenses. The included storage bag made transport simple, and the extra expansion ports were handy for attaching additional accessories. Overall, it was a solid addition to my gear and made my setup look more professional for the shoot.

shouldn't be surprised by the great value and quality of this Matte Box by K & F. There is nothing about it that I find concerning and for the money I think it's excellent. If there was one option I would ask to be made available, it would be an adapter that would also allow 100 x 100 square filters to be used, but alas, that doesn't seem to be an available option at this time of writing. Maybe I'll try and make something for myself as I really do like this matte box and want to use my existing square filters with it. While this will accommodate two 4 x 5.65 filters in addition to a circular filter, there isn't much room if a lens ring is needed for the circular filter. Basically I've found the adapter ring removes the usage of the first inner square rail. That I think is a minor point, but evidently slim circular filters are best if this matte box is to be used at full capacity.

The K&F Concept mini matte box comes in a well-made box. Inside we have a hard EVA case, the mini matte box, five adapter rings and a mini matte box made of carbon fiber, equipped with a lens hood on the top and two rectangular filter holders where we can mount various filters from neutral to ND. The five rings range from 67 mm to 95 mm. The peculiarity and functionality of these adapter rings is the fact that they are equipped with a double thread. External to be mounted on the lens and internal to mount the classic circular filters inside the matte box. So we have the possibility of using any type of filter we have in our kit. The hard case supplied is really well made, but above all it is excellent for transporting and storing the matte box. I am very satisfied and I recommend it. The quality/price ratio is truly excellent. I hope I have been helpful in choosing the product.

No complaints here. Very nice sunshade for my video works and holds the filters very sturdy. Great product.

It fits my BlackMagick 6K Full Frame perfectly.

this has hands down been such a great product especially for the cost. I also have the Tilta Mini Matte Box and that seems more catered for S35 or prime lenses. As my 24-70 with a 82mm filter thread saw vignetting with the Tilta. This solved all of that, while including the ability to use lenses with up to a 95mm filter thread. It also comes with a carrying case, this was completely unexpected. Definitely worth it through and through

perfect construction and. use
