Modular Flexibility
Capitalise on the VIV 5’s modularity. Quickly switch between clip-on for agile work and rod-mounted with swing-away for fast lens changes on set.
Filter Stacking
When using multiple filters, especially with wide lenses, carefully check for any vignetting in your frame. Position filters efficiently to avoid this.
Tool-Less Adjustments
The VIV 5 features tool-less adjustments for flags and filter stages. Practise these quick adjustments to save time during takes.
Side Flag Benefits
Utilise the side flags effectively to cut off off-axis light sources, particularly important when shooting in bright, uncontrolled environments.
Anti-Reflection Management
When rod-mounted, ensure a proper light seal between the matte box and the lens (e.g., bellows or an appropriate donut) to prevent stray light from causing internal reflections.
