JTZ DP30 Cine Lens Carbon Fiber 4x4 Swing-Away Matte Box with 15mm/19mm Rod Rail Rig for Sony FS5 FS7 ARRI RED Canon C100 C200 C300 BM D Blackmagic BMPCC BMCC Pocket Cinema Panasonic Camera

Thing is built solid. I love the top handle it has to use in conjunction with the rig's top handle to lift the camera up. The main feature I love about it is that if you use cine lens with a 115mm (I believe) front element, it has a soft rubber gasket to accommodate the lens and won't scratch your lens like other, even high quality, matteboxes will.The only downside, IF it is a downside, is that if you're using 15mm rods, the rod won't go all the way through because the rectangular frame of the matte box will stop the rod from overextending, but there is no reason why there should be something more in front of the matte box. Great item.

BUYER BEWARE. I’m really upset. I have had this mattebox for about 2 years now but it finally broke today, and it broke in a VERY weird way. Let me say first of all, I take care of my gear very well... there is no reason for this defect to happen with light use only a couple years later. I have a large production tomorrow that I’m getting ready for today and the mattebox seems to wiggle quite a bit. Then I noticed that the tab that you pull to swing the mattebox away was also very loose. As soon as pulled the tab up to swing away the mattebox, the tab itself came out of its threads that hold it to the mattebox itself. The threads are completely stripped on the mattebox and it doesn’t seem like it can be fixed. Now I’m in the market to buy another mattebox I highly doubt I will buy another JTZ.

I have nothing but love for this product. It has a strong sturdy front handle - with 5 potential installation screws, 15mm options on the site, 90-degree flip open hood for easy lens changes, massive light blocking flaps which you probably won't need because the carbon fiber house does most of the trick, vertical lift options, multiple filter slides and it's downright sexy.Your clients will be proud. Your rig will stand out. You'll get the "wow" effect. It's worth every penny and should last more than a lifetime (with proper care). This is an impressive product.

I have this on my rig with a GH5. I did a lot of research on matte boxes. I didn't want to pay more than about $500.This is well made and solid. Happy with it. Couple things to consider: There is not a lot of up/down movement, with 15MM rods, the center of your lens should be about 85 MM from the rods. If you are way off from 85MM, your lens will not fit. Works best with carbon fiber rods. I tried with metal rods and it was difficult to get onto rails. Like the top handle, swing away and the flags.

Its makes customers blush...

The quality is amazingly strong. The design is perfect in every way in my opinion and the finish is like icing on cake. The functionality is superb! I love that they catered this brand for standard industry use.

Very nice. Expensive. Didn’t fit my setup.

I had been looking for a matte box and as you know, creatives can be so indecisive. I am not disappointed with this. Great great build. Great neutral look and comes with everything!
