ARRI MATTEBOX MMB-2

Having all four spherical mattes included in one kit saved me from having to hunt down individual sizes for different lenses. The dual filter trays make swapping between a polarizer and a variable ND mid-shoot incredibly fast.

The two side flags and top flag lock in place with zero wiggle, so I’m not constantly re-tightening between setups. Having all five spherical mattes included in the box means I didn’t have to chase down extras for a quick job.

The whole kit shows up with five spherical mattes and two slide-in trays, which saved me from scrambling for extras on a two-day shoot. The top and side flags lock down tight without any wobble, and it mounted up in under a minute.
