Overview

The Tilta Carbon Fiber Top Flag (MB-T15-TF) is a purpose-built accessory for the Tiltaing Mini Clamp-on Matte Box, designed to give cinematographers and videographers reliable protection against overhead light flares. Constructed from genuine carbon fiber, the flag delivers the stiffness needed to stay in position during handheld and gimbal work while adding virtually no weight to the rig — an important consideration for operators who are already balancing cameras, monitors, and follow focus systems.

Installation is straightforward: the flag slides directly onto the top of the Mini Clamp-on Matte Box and seats securely without requiring tools or additional hardware. Once in place, it extends outward above the lens to shade the front element from overhead lighting, sun, and practicals that would otherwise cause flares or reduce contrast. For run-and-gun shooters and small crews who need to move quickly between setups, this kind of tool-free modularity makes a meaningful difference in workflow efficiency.
