Filter Placement
Always place your filters correctly in the trays, ensuring they’re clean and free of dust or fingerprints before each take.
Flag Positioning
Utilise the side and top flags to precisely control lens flares. Adjust them based on your light source and shot composition.
Clip-on vs. Rod Mount
Decide whether a clip-on setup (lighter, quicker lens changes) or a rod-mounted setup (more stable, allows for swing-away) is best for your specific shot and camera rig.
Adaptor Rings
Ensure you have the correct size adaptor rings for all the lenses in your kit to guarantee a snug fit and prevent light leaks.
Secure Attachment
Whether clip-on or rod-mounted, always ensure the matte box is securely attached to prevent any movement or accidental detachment during operation.
