Century Optics 1.6x teleconverter & Matte Box

[philmmaker]

I own a DVX100B and the Century Optics 1.6x teleconverter. Can someone recommend an affordable matte box system complete with rails and adapters (under $700.00?) that I can use with the teleconverter attached?

century optics makes a one slot 4x4 holder 104 clamp on. would work in a pinch . $190. or wait till redrock gets caught up 3 months from now. don,t buy the cheep rail system ,don,y waist your $$$$. i did. redrock rail is bullet proof stuff but i have been waiting 109 days since i paid for my matte box. still waiting.

It's a german page, but his matte box really rocks and he is willing to do special requested stuff at a very low price... check out www.geardear.com . Gerhards products are high quality (what else do you expect from a german manufacturer... ;-) ) and low priced (the US$ - EUR exchange rate could make the deal less interesting at the moment, but it's definately worth a request...)

Cool...thanks!

I've decided on the Red Rock microMatteBox Deluxe Bundle. It appears to have everything I need (except for a quick turnaround; it's on backorder (45 days from purchase to shipping). Argh!
