Manfrotto MVA512W Sympla Flexible Mattebox

High quality digital sensors and photo lenses need careful control of incoming light and the Sympla Flexible Mattebox is a universal light-hood, a positionable anti-glare/anti-reflection shield and a double 4×4” filter-holder, all rolled into one. A key component of the Sympla system, the Flexible Mattebox is designed for speed and ease of use with single-lock, tool-free height and front-back movements for speedy alignment. It has an elasticated textile lens seal that fits common lens diameters and is built around a 90° swivel joint which rotates the Mattebox out the way for fast lens changes. It is designed for cameras with interchangeable lenses; fitted on a Universal Mount, it slides backwards and forwards and has 50mm of vertical travel so that it can be aligned with lenses of different lengths and heights. The weight of the Mattebox is fully supported by the Sympla rails (not the camera lens) reducing stress on the camera’s easily-damaged lens mount. Two 4×4” filters can be held in front of the lens; one of the filter holders rotates through 360° to allow polarising filter to be angled correctly. The concertina rubber light hood is opened or closed, partially or fully, in an instant. It shields unwanted directional glare from any angle without blocking light. The hood is flexible in length, when open protects the lens against knocks, and packs flat to transport.
