Hi. Anyone know if the Redrock microMattebox supports 4:3? I've heard that some matteboxes only support 16:9. I have an Panasonic DVX100 so I only have 4:3 mode.
Anything designated as 16:9 will be inherently wider and taller then anything designated 4:3, so if you purchase a 16:9 accessory it will not only work in your 4:3 setup, but will pave the way for future work in 16:9.
The Redrock is quite large and heavy though, your DVX will be an accessory for the mattebox, not the other way around Still, you will have the Redrock for years to come, long after your DVX is on Ebay.
I love my redrock gear, i have a letus elite with red rock accessories (matte box, ff and shoulder mount) and i have to say the red rock gear is great. The matte box is a big guy and the filter trays are awesome, the build quality is rock solid.
It does add some size to the camera, but im a whore for my filters now a days so its way worth it for me
