NiSi Matte Box C5 Starter Kit

NiSi Matte Box C5 Starter Kit – Lightweight 350g Matte Box for 95mm Cine Lenses with Multi-Filter Support

This NiSi Matte Box C5 Starter Kit fits DSLR and mirrorless cameras and prevents sunlight or other light from causing glare and flare. It handles multiple filter types and ships as a ready-to-use kit with adapter rings and protective pouch. The design supports use on gimbals thanks to its low weight and compact form.

Key features and how they help you

The Matte Box is made for 95mm outer-diameter cine lenses as standard, and you can also mount it on lenses with filter threads of 67, 72, 77 or 82mm using the included adapter rings. This flexibility lets you reuse the same matte box across different lenses.

Moreover, the kit includes two dedicated filter trays. One tray accepts 4 x 5.65" cine filters and the other accepts either 100 x 100mm square filters or 4 x 4" cine filters. You can install one filter in each tray and use two filters simultaneously to shape your image precisely.

Thanks to the form-fitting filter system, ultra-wide angle shooting becomes possible. Specifically, the matte box supports ultra-wide shots from 15mm focal length and above without vignetting, which helps you keep a clean wide-field image when using wide lenses.

Design details that matter

The filter frames feature an aluminum alloy construction and an anti-off design, enabling quick installation without leaving fingerprints. In addition, the matte box has air gaps on the sides to reduce wind resistance during outdoor shoots.

The top flag sports a carbon-fiber design and opens 180°, so you can quickly adjust shading and control stray light. Inside, the matte box has a depth of 26.5mm, which contributes to its effectiveness at avoiding glare.

Finally, the entire unit weighs only 350g. Therefore, you can mount it for handheld work and confidently use it on gimbals where low weight is important.
