Compact Matte Box Kit

The NiSi Cinema C5 Matte Box Filmmaker Kit is a lightweight matte box system built for cinematographers who need quick lens changes without rails. It clamps directly onto lenses with filter threads up to 82mm or cinema lenses with a 95mm outer diameter. The kit includes the matte box, an adjustable carbon fibre top flag and a pouch for accessories. It weighs 350g.

Build and Daily Use

Aluminium, composite plastic and carbon fibre construction keeps the unit rigid while staying light enough for gimbal and aerial work. Side slots reduce wind resistance when mounted on moving platforms. The clamp mechanism secures to the lens barrel without rods, so it can be fitted or removed in seconds on set. The deep filter tray holds 4x4 and 4x5.65 filters up to 4mm thick close to the glass.

Filter System Limits

The matte box accepts up to two 4mm thick filters in 4x4 or 4x5.65 format and provides up to 9 stops of neutral density when NiSi Cinema ND filters are used. Vignetting is prevented on full frame lenses down to 15mm. Lenses with front diameters larger than 95mm or filter threads above 82mm cannot be clamped directly. The system does not support drop-in filter trays or motorised filter stages.

Questions about this item

How does the clamp-on design handle different lens diameters and what is the maximum filter-thread size it accepts?

The matte box clamps directly onto lenses with filter threads up to 82mm and onto cinema lenses with a 95mm outer diameter, so no rail system is required.

Which filter formats fit inside the C5 Matte Box?

It accepts both 4x4 inch and 4x5.65 inch filters that are 4mm thick, including NiSi Cinema filters and other brands of the same thickness.

What is the correct way to attach the matte box so it sits flush and avoids vignetting on wide lenses?

Loosen the clamp, slide the matte box onto the lens barrel or filter threads until the front of the filter stage is as close to the front element as possible, then tighten the clamp evenly; this positions the filter at the minimum distance and prevents vignetting down to 15mm full-frame equivalent.
