Mattebox filters?

[Jay Rodriguez]

I just bought the Redrock mattebox and really need to pick up some good filters. Does anyone have any suggestions on which filters I should buy? Redrock has a set of three for $495 but I don't know, they seem a bit pricey.

Tiffen, Formatt and Schneider are commonly used in professional applications. Less expensive ones are available and can hold up well even for HD acquisitions.

Thanks Erik. Do you have any links to some of those less expensive ones?

My company sells Cavision and can get the Formatts. Here is our starter set of the Cavision filters: http://www.overlandfilms.com/cavision-essentials-4-x-4-x-4mm-glass-filter-444.html

This one includes: Grad ND (soft, 0.6); ND 0.3/0.6/0.9; Linear Polarizer

Here are some other options from B&H Photo. You'll want the 4x4 or 4x5.65" format (if your mattebox has trays for the later).

I have boxes of quality glass filters. What are you looking for?

What do you have that you'd be willing to sell and at what price? PM me?

Thanks man

Sorry for the high jack Jay, Eric I was checking your hard cases on your site, do you have something suitable for a DVX100A?

 

[Erik Olson]

No worries, I was just trying to give him some options. I always advise that you should purchase filters as a part of your longer-term kit. Well maintained, they'll outlast most cameras you put them in front of.

For the Storm Cases (now Pelican) we have the im2500, which is perfect for a DVX100 / HVX200 / HPX170 size cameras with charger, batts, P2 cards. It is the largest carry-on size case available. Be sure to enter the DVXUser discount code when you check out!

Cheers,

Erik, can you send me a link to the filters that you have?

There are a bunch on the Camera Accessories page. ND sets, pola, FX and so on.
