Small Eyebrows built into the inside of mattbox as well as ability to instlal regular eyebrows on the outside.


Push button locking instead of a rotating knobs (but don't ask me how to do it)

A stage that can take a special filter draw that has two filters.

Mattbox that can expand and contract to accomidate wide lenses.

An eccentric type pivot (?) so mattbox can swing away without having to first wind it out to clear lens. (is this available on any mattbox?)

Great suggestions. Give me more speed I say...

Has anyone asked about how you'll be able to slide the matte box past the front of the dovetail plate with 15mm rods? From the render it looks like the 19mm holes will bump against the front.

We posted this for suggestions... :-)

The Combo 15mm light weight and 19mm studio support bracket will have problems in that it will hang below the base in lightweight mode. It's a serious design problem. Make interchangeable arms. 15mm lightweight, 19 and or 15mm studio.

Also much of the film world uses 15mm studio rods, I know it's retro and and agree that 19mm is better, but that's how it is.

Looks nice otherwise, would consider retiring the ol' MB-12 and buying it if it's well made... Standard trays ???

A couple of questions -

1. is the circular rotator at the back for circular polas etc?

2. Can the system accept modular stages to turn it from a 2 stage into a four stage (sell the modular 2 stage as an additional accessory - it could simply slot in) - 9 times out of ten you need colour+ND+Grads for exterior work - so minimum 3 filters.

3. can the stages spin to put the edge of a nd grad along the roof of a building etc. Thats pretty useful.

Thanks a million

Another thought is would it get rid of glare hitting the sensor by tilting the pola filter, by having it floating in a spherical socket. Maybe even do this to the main filter assembly.
Cheers,

So can we please get an ETA on this? I have an older sub-standard matte and I'd really like to plan out when I can buy this one!

I'll second that! - I'm also concerned about the mattebox being carbon fibre because of cracking and splintering etc.. No Carbon fibre Please!!!

Carbon fibre pleaseeee!

It allows for great weight reduction and handles heat very well, not to mention it's very pleasing on the eyes.

Moral of the story, treat your gear well and it will treat you well, no splintering and cracking needed.
