The PolarPro BaseCamp Light Fly seals light between the BaseCamp Matte Box and your lens when you shoot on rails. It creates a light-tight connection so you can maintain consistent exposure and contrast during rail-mounted setups.
By sealing light at the matte box-to-lens junction, the Light Fly eliminates the need for thread plates or clamp rings when you require fast lens changes on a rail system. This speeds up your workflow and reduces small accessory swaps during a shoot.
Use the Light Fly as part of a rail-based matte box setup. It must be used on a rail system to provide the intended light seal between the BaseCamp Matte Box and the lens. Do not use it as a standalone lens hood or for non-rail configurations.
The Light Fly fits into workflows that already use the BaseCamp Matte Box on rails. Because it removes the need for thread plates or clamp rings for quick lens swaps, crews can change lenses faster while maintaining control over stray light. Install and remove it as part of your rail-mounted matte box routine.
question: Do I need any other accessories to use the BaseCamp Light Fly?
Answer: You must use the Light Fly on a rail system and with a BaseCamp Matte Box. Other accessories are not specified in the product description, so follow your existing rail-mounted matte box workflow.
question: Will the Light Fly replace thread plates or clamp rings?
Answer: The Light Fly eliminates the need for thread plates or clamp rings specifically for fast lens changes when used on rails, as described in the product information.
question: Can I use the Light Fly without a rail system?
Answer: No. The product description states that it must be used on a rail system, so it is not intended for standalone use off rails.
question: What do I receive when I order this product?
Answer: The package contains one BaseCamp Light Fly as listed in the product contents.
