Hello Guys
This is my first post here. My name is José and i'm from Portugal.

I'm buying some new equipment and i decided to buy a mattebox, the problem is i never had one before and i need some advice.

I dont have much money, i can spend around 400€.

I saw in ebay some from proaim and also from the geardear site.

French flag and side is not very important but it need to have at least two rotating filter holders.

Can you advise me?

Thanks
 
Hey Phil,

Thanks for your advice. I look at the site and i dont feel confident to buy the D|Matte, for that price i would prefer to buy s proaim mattebox or something else...
 
We've got three of the pro-aims. They work, but I would not call them robust. The two newer ones are better than the older one, but still -- door droop can be a problem, and things don't always stay snug if we are moving around a lot.
That being said, they do provide dual rotating filter holders, and we have never had any real problems. Even the older one, which is a bit more wambly then the newer ones, has given us reliable service for quite some time. We are on a tight budget, we knew we were not getting primo stuff, we have been careful and we have done okay. Those locking bolts that fell off the bottom....turns out we didn't really need those anyway. ;-)
