Tilta MB-T12-M110 4x5.65 Carbon Fiber Clamp-On Matte Box

The Tilta MB-T12-M110 is a professional clamp-on matte box built from carbon fiber, targeting cinematographers and camera operators who need reliable light control without adding significant weight to their rigs. The carbon fiber body provides high rigidity while remaining noticeably lighter than aluminum alternatives, a meaningful advantage on gimbal setups, Steadicam rigs, and extended handheld shoots where front-end weight directly impacts operator fatigue and balance. The clamp-on mounting system attaches directly to the front of cinema lenses, eliminating the need for a dedicated rod connection and allowing faster lens swaps during production.

With capacity for three 4x5.65 filter trays, the MB-T12 supports complex filter combinations — stacking neutral density, polarization, and diffusion filters simultaneously without the compromises of screw-on filter stacking. The included adjustable top French flag provides overhead flare protection that can be repositioned as lighting conditions change throughout a shoot. For rigs that already use a 15mm lightweight support rod system, the included LWS rod adapter offers an alternative mounting method, giving operators the choice between clamp-on speed and rod-mounted stability depending on the shot requirements.
