Tilta MB-T12 Carbon Fiber Matte Box

The Tilta MB-T12 is a lightweight carbon fiber matte box built for professional videographers who need filter control on cinema lenses. Its clamp-on design attaches directly to 80mm front diameters without adding bulk for handheld or gimbal work. Three fixed 4x5.65" filter stages give quick access to ND or diffusion while the included French flag cuts flare from overhead sources.

Three-Stage Filter Capacity and Creative Limits

Three 4x5.65" stages hold up to three filters simultaneously so exposure and mood adjustments stay in-camera. Five hard mattes cover focal ranges from 16-20mm through 85-180mm to match common cinema primes and prevent vignetting at wide angles. The 80mm clamp fits only lenses with that exact front diameter; wider or threaded fronts cannot be secured without additional adapters not supplied.

Build Integration and Mounting Flexibility

A 15mm LWS rod bracket is included for studio configurations where clamp mounting is impractical. Supplied adapter rings cover standard front sizes so the box can move between lenses without separate donuts. Carbon fiber construction keeps weight low for shoulder rigs while aluminum and stainless hardware maintain alignment during focus pulls. Rod mounting requires a compatible baseplate and 15mm rails not included in the package.

Questions about this item

Will the 80mm clamp fit my existing cinema lenses without extra parts?

The matte box clamps directly onto standard 80mm front diameters and includes multiple adapter rings for other common lens sizes, so most cinema lenses can be mounted without separate donuts.

How do I confirm the three filter stages and French flag are seated correctly?

Each of the three 4x5.65" stages clicks into a fixed position, and the top French flag locks onto the upper stage; a quick visual check that all stages sit flush and the flag covers the matte box top confirms proper setup.

Which accessories ship in the box and what must I add for rod mounting?

The package contains the carbon fibre matte box, five hard mattes covering 16-20mm to 85-180mm focal ranges, a top French flag, multiple lens adapter rings and a 15mm LWS rod bracket; only 15mm rods themselves need to be supplied separately.
