If you are a keen follower of this site then you’ll probably have noticed that I use the ultra-lightweight Misfit Atom mattebox on a lot on our rigs. It is especially suited to brushless gimbal work where the light weight and low profile are important. It can also help slim the size of your shoulder rig too. The Atom can be clipped directly to a lens with the correct adapter ring, or clamped to rods with an appropriate bracket.
I’ve found it to be the handiest way to attach diffusion, neutral density or other effects filters to your camera. It is especially useful on cameras like the Blackmagic URSA Mini and RED Epic which don’t have internal ND filters.
The rubber shade can be detached quickly to turn the mattebox into a low profile filter holder. It can hold two 4″ x 5.6″ filters and has a optional adapter that angles a filter slightly to help eliminate unwanted reflections. One thing to be aware of is that the filter tray does not rotate and therefore isn’t very suitable for use with polarisers.
