Hi,
I'm looking for a light and compact matte box that could take 77mm filters. Basically I want to have a super small set up that could let me use circular filters and that can block light with top and side flags.
Any ideas?
 
I think all of the screw-on boxes with filter holders take square glass. Maybe you could work the 77's in with the adapter ring - you shouldn't get vignetting on an APS-C camera.

That would cover small & light, but would also add "slow and cumbersome".

I'd take a look at rubber screw-on hoods if you're stuck with screw-on filters - those are as light as anything's going to get. You're going to end up with some funky sandwich of stuff, all held on by a very fine and shallow threaded connection system. I know I'd find that really frustrating.

I have a 77mm adapter ring for mine. Works great. I think it kinda fits your needs. Assuming you don't wan to use screw on filters. With this one you hase 3.5" square filters. There are also circular ones like pola's

I use it with a couple of NDs, a pola and a few grad ND in my kit.
Works great for quick shoots and doesn't require a big rig to carry it all.
