Matte Boxes & Filters

Consider a Matte Box both for its ability to provide controllable shading from unwanted light, as well as being able to hold a selection of camera filters. Most camcorders and lenses will allow the Matte Box to clip on the front, or be mounted on bars. Bar mounts on camcorders allow for speedy addition or removal of lens accessories. Popular filters include grades for deepening skies, controlling exposure and softening focus.
