Overview

The Tilta MB-T15-C80 is a purpose-built 55mm adapter ring designed to pair your lens with the Tilta Mini Clamp-on Matte Box. Rather than relying on a rod-mounted matte box system, this adapter screws directly into the front filter threads of any lens with a 55mm diameter, allowing the Mini Matte Box to clamp firmly onto the ring. This approach keeps the overall rig compact and lightweight, which is particularly useful for gimbal work or run-and-gun shooting where minimizing bulk matters.

Constructed from aluminum, the adapter ring strikes a balance between durability and weight. The threading is precise enough to sit flush against the lens without cross-threading concerns, and the clamping interface provides a stable platform for the matte box to hold filters and block unwanted light. Since it is specific to the 55mm thread size, cinematographers working with multiple lenses will need to pick up additional rings to match each lens diameter in their setup.

👎 Cons

  • Only fits lenses with a 55mm filter thread, requiring a separate ring for each lens diameter in your kit.
  • Does not include the matte box itself, adding to the total cost of the setup.
  • Plain adapter ring with no markings, which can make it hard to distinguish from other sizes in a gear bag.
  • Limited to use with the Tilta Mini Clamp-on Matte Box and is not cross-compatible with other matte box systems.
