Alternative to the Misfit Atom?...

I really like Bright Tangerine and their series of light-weight Matte Boxes but alas with a price point approaching a grand (here in the UK) they are a tad out of my price range.

I began with looking at some light-weight solutions - filter holders, shades, lens hoods and eyebrows and found a couple of alternatives. I'm not saying these are more versatile or durable than BT's Matte Box solutions but I thought I'd share none the less :)

1. 100mm Lucroit Holder w/ Flags

2. NiSi 100mm Filter Holder w/ Dinkum Systems Flare (Flag)

What are your thoughts of these two systems and do you have any suggestions?
 
Not finding the second choice, can you provide a link? Here's the first product and it looks pretty nice:
http://www.formatt-hitech.com/hardware/flags-for-100mm-lucroit-holder B&H has the whole thing for $150usd which isn't horrible.

Should be less weight than something cheap like the Fotga DP3000 (they make a clip on version) and for some things this looks really nice. I might have to buy the flags and build my own box to fit them when I need a really compact flare protection system.
 
Yup I like it too. I'm trying to cut down on weight & size at the moment as cumbersome gear doesn't suit my Run & Gun style. I'm selling my Shoot35 Matte Box and I'll probably get the Lucroit to replace it.

Here's the Nisi (pretty much the same as Lee) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/NiSi-Aluminium-Filter-Holder-Foundation/dp/B00W5YEZU0

Here's the flag - http://www.pinknoise-systems.co.uk/dinkum-systems-flaredinkum-compact-lens-shade.html

I'm buying the RedRock Scout HX next week and I'd most likely free up a coldshoe by not using the Dinkum shade and plus it's more obstructive. More reason to go with option one :)
