I 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.

Delivering exceptional quality, the matte box proves to be a valuable tool for videographers. Its carbon fibre top flag efficiently blocks out unwanted light, enhancing shot clarity without adding unnecessary weight. The build quality is impressive, and it easily accommodates various filters and lenses. Setup is straightforward, and its versatility across different shooting environments is a major plus. A great choice for anyone looking to improve their video production.

I've been looking for something like this for a while, but they tend to be quite expensive. I didn't expect too much as this is one of the cheapest I've seen, but it's really high quality! This isn't my first K&F Concept product, so I can say that this is definitely up to their standards. I can definitely recommend them if you're looking for something like this. The choice of included adapter rings is also great, I didn't have to buy any extra for my lenses, might just be luck though :)

The Matte Box is easy to mount on the front of a lens using the various adapter rings. Two slots for 4” x 5.65” filters are included. This allows you to combine an ND filter with a Black Mist filter, for example. The respective adapter rings also have a filter thread, so that, for example, a 67mm filter could also be attached to the 67mm adapter ring.
It is relatively easy to use. In some cases, the matte box could feel a bit more valuable. However, the fact that it consists largely of plastic is beneficial, at least in terms of its low weight. There are threads on the bottom, back and top, which can also be used to attach the Matte Box or connect other accessories. There is also a hot shoe on the top, but the top flag tends to get in the way.
I like how compact and lightweight the Matte Box is, the functionality is good.
I find it negative how big the storage and transport bag is. It is a large hard-shell box and there is a very spacious recess for the adapter rings, which makes the height greater than if you had only designed the bag for the matte box. I find it a bit cumbersome in the form, but otherwise it's nice that one is included at all, which is why I don't give a deduction for it here.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the K&F Concept Matte Box. It is a good alternative to existing brands in this area.

This is, of course, meant for bigger lenses. This can be seen from the adapter set. My bigger lens is the minimal size for this, I usually use smaller filters, but for my bigger lens, this is a good option.

The mate box is nice, except it only has one panel, which limits the filter selections to filters that do not need rotation, this put any gradient filter out of the option. If you only need basic filters like ND filters, then this is a good-looking option. Of course, if your goal is to look cool, this is absolutely cool.

The K&F Concept Matte Box is an indispensable tool for any serious filmmaker or photographer.

The two 4 x 5.65" filter trays provide ample space for a variety of filters, allowing for precise control over lighting and exposure. The carbon top flag is a valuable addition, helping to block unwanted light and create dramatic effects.

The included adapter rings ensure compatibility with a wide range of lenses, making the K&F Concept Matte Box a versatile and adaptable accessory. The build quality is excellent, and the matte box is sturdy and durable. If you're looking to elevate your filmmaking or photography to the next level, the K&F Concept Matte Box is a must-have investment.

The K&F Concept Matte Box impresses with its excellent workmanship and quality. It is not only robust, but also very light and compact, making it an ideal companion for traveling. Despite its lightness, it offers the necessary protection and flexibility that you expect from a high-quality matte box.

A major advantage of this model is the versatility made possible by the included adapter rings. With these adapters, the Matte Box can easily be used with various lenses of different sizes. This is particularly useful if you work with multiple lenses and don't want to constantly change equipment.

The Matte Box also comes with a practical hard-shell case, which ensures safe transportation. The case reliably protects the matte box and the adapter rings from bumps and scratches.

Overall, the Matte Box offers an excellent combination of quality, flexibility and ease of use. It is a valuable addition to any camera setup and is particularly suitable for filmmakers who are looking for a lightweight and versatile solution.

£60 at time of review

I rarely hand out five stars... Great little matte box, nice and light weight, but feels good and strong, plus comes with an excellent storage case. Comes with 67, 72, 77, 82 & 95mm adapter rings, that simply screw onto the front of your lens, then to add the matte box, simply place it onto the ring, level and tighten the lever on the side.

Filters are held in place by a filter frame, you simply slide them into place, as they drop into place and aren’t sitting in a groove the frame will accommodate 1.8mm & 2mm filters without rattling issues, the frame itself slides in from the left and clicks into pace, you can also stack filter frames. The top flag can also be locked into position and locked closed.

A really neat feature, the adapter rings have the same size filter threads on their front face, allowing additional circular filters to be added directly to the front of the lens, also means when you move from place to place you can attach your lens cap too.

As the filter itself sits about 5cm in front of the lens you’ll need to consider the physical size of your lens and focal length. A lens as wide as a 20mm will likely suffer vignetting… not a fault of the box, just something to consider.

For £60 I’d say this is excellent value for money, it’s very nicely made

Hope my review was helpful

I recently picked up this mini matte box, and it’s been a great addition to my filming setup. The compact size is perfect for my camera rig, providing all the benefits of a full-sized matte box without the bulk. It effectively reduces lens flare and improves image contrast, which has made a noticeable difference in the quality of my shots.
The build quality is robust, with durable materials that feel solid and well-made. The adjustable filters and easy-to-use design make it simple to customize according to my needs. The matte box attaches securely and stays in place during use, enhancing my control over light and reflections. Overall, this mini matte box offers professional performance in a compact form factor, making it a fantastic choice for filmmakers looking to improve their setup without adding extra weight. If you’re in need of a reliable matte box that’s easy to handle, this one is definitely worth checking out.

For one of my first small film projects, I immediately pulled in this box and although I still lack the well-founded experience for a well-founded review, I can only report the best about the part so far.
Despite its low weight, the workmanship is great and sturdy, the adapter rings make the part suitable for all my lenses and you look much more professional with the part than I actually deserve...
