Hi,

Does anyone here use or can recommend a Matte Box for the XHA1.

Cokin I know just came out with one but I can't find any reviews on it. I can't really find much info on any Matte Boxes.

Thanks,
Mike
 
Hi everyone. First time posting on here, although I've been lurking for a while...

I have been shopping matte boxes/filter kits extensively latley as that is probably going to be my next gear purchase. I'm curious as to what others are using?

I had looked into the geardear setup which still seems to offer quite the bang for your buck. However, someone on the dvinfo forum said something about them being made from some sort of foam type material or something and not metal...This has me a little worried. But other than that I heard they are awesome, although bulky, and they have an adapter made specifically for XHA1.

The one that I have REALLY been looking into lately is the microMatteBox by Redrock. This one seems amazing and judging from their rep I bet it is. They are supposedly going for around the $500 mark which is unreal for a 3 stage filter kit with rails. However their production turn around time with these is kind of ridiculous they've been hyping them for like a year, and I guess only the first 50 have made it to the public?

Does anyone have any experience with either of these 2 setups? Or can you make any suggestions about something you may be using? I looked at the Chrosziel as well but that set up is ridiuclously expensive for what you get.

I'm also wondering about how specific matte box kits will work in conjunction with the AFS sensors on front of the cam...

THANKS!
