Overview

The Tilta MB-T12-125 is a 125mm clamp-on backing designed to bridge the gap between your large-diameter cinema lenses and the Tilta MB-T12 Clamp-on Matte Box. If your lens has a 125mm front diameter, this backing allows you to mount the matte box directly without step-up rings or improvised solutions. The machined aluminum construction ensures a snug, rattle-free fit that holds steady during handheld shooting and gimbal work alike.

As part of Tilta's modular matte box ecosystem, this backing is one of several diameter-specific rings available for the MB-T12 system. It keeps your rig streamlined by eliminating adapter stacking, and its tool-free clamp design allows for fast lens swaps on set. For cinematographers and videographers working with large-format lenses, it is an essential component for controlling flare and shaping light with the MB-T12's filter stages.
