matte box for xl1s

[Lee Gillenwater]

I had a quick question about a Century matte box for the canon xl1s. I have been looking at some and I am very interested in buying one. I was wondering would it be better to purchase the entire kit, or purchase peice by peice and fugure out what I needed. I have the 72 mm lens.. could I just get the rods andmatte support, or would the entire kit be a better idea. If someone has any ideas on this, let me now... Thanks!

What are you gonna use the matte box for?

 

You should get the whole kit if you can afford

You'll need all the things sooner or later better to pay it off now

Than have to scramble to get it later on when you really need.

 

Personally I recommend getting a decent bridge plate

A good 35mm brigde plate is better

than most of the support rods made for video cameras

But it cost more (between $500 and $900 bucks)

 

I also recommend good cine Matte Box.

 

The Century Matte Box is good enough and very affordable

Although I'd check out, Vocas.com, or www.Petroff.ws

or search for Chrozsiel

for top of the line matte boxes
