I've been trying to find out how people have rigged a matte box for the cp-16r for a while and nobody has been of much help. These pics make me very happy. What matte box did you say you were using? Arri SR? --Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arri SR? --Tim Yeah, it's the Arri SR mattebox. It looks like it would be very simple to make a bracket to use the arri lightweight 15mm rods, too. Edited July 11, 2006 by Christopher D.

Timothy David Orme Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Is that matte box specifically listed as the Arri SR mattebox? If so, I can't find it anywhere, and I've done lots of searching. Anyone have any advice on where I should be looking or if I'm even looking for the right thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any advice on where I should be looking or if I'm even looking for the right thing? I've always called that model the SR matte box because they were introduced for use on the SR 1 mini rods. The SR was the first arri camera to use the 15mm mini rods. I could be wrong. I've heard some refer to them as the "old style 3X4" "3X4 SR style" Hope that helps. Check the Visual Products site. http://www.visualproducts.com/storeProduct...t=3&Cat2=37 The mini rod set I have needed to be modified a bit to get the lens to set dead center in the reflex ring. Very easy fix. Robert Skates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a few good 16mm primes with the CP mount. Or, if people really feel it's worth the money ($750) to convert the camera to a PL mount. --Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
