ARRI Mattebox MB-20 - Manual (Page 6)

Filter trays for the MB-20 system are
designed to be both practical and flexible.
The Combo 1 filter tray holds either a
4 x 5.65 filter horizontally or vertically and
also accommodates a 5 x 5 square filter.
The Combo 2 filter tray holds a 5.65 x 5.65
square filter or a 5 x 6 filter. Both filter trays
feature spring-loaded holders to make filter
handling fast and simple.
Production demands flexibility in a
constantly changing shooting environment.
The MB-20 Mattebox System can be used
in a clamp-on mode for handheld or
Steadicam shots, or mounted on a
baseplate rod system for a traditional
studio setup.

MB-20
Modular Compact Matte Box
ARRI’s MB-20 System is the most flexible, compact
mattebox available. The system accepts virtually all
professional lenses including the Canon 4.7 x 11 and Fujinon
4.5 x 13, HD Primes, and film format prime lenses as wide
as 14 mm. The locking swing-away mechanism makes lense
access fast and easy.
The MB-20 System I uses a quick release removable
sunshade for close-up and multiple camera work; while the
MB-20 System II includes a protective cage around the
sunshade for heavy duty use in demanding production
environments. Both are compatible with the same support
brackets, filter rings and filter trays.
