Overview

The Tilta MB-T12-136 is a 136mm clamp-on backing designed as a dedicated accessory for the Tilta MB-T12 Clamp-on Matte Box. It provides the physical connection point between the matte box and lenses that have a 136mm front diameter, clamping securely onto the lens barrel to hold the matte box in place during shooting. This is particularly useful for cinematographers working with large-diameter cinema lenses that require a matte box for light control and filter mounting.

As a system-specific component, this backing only works with the MB-T12 matte box and only fits 136mm lens fronts. Tilta offers the MB-T12 backing in multiple sizes to accommodate different lenses, so shooters with a varied lens kit may need several backings. The clamp-on mechanism allows for quick setup and breakdown on set without threading or tools, keeping the workflow efficient when swapping between lenses or rigs.
