Overview

The Tilta Mirage Motorized VND Matte Box Kit is a purpose-built solution for filmmakers who need precise exposure control in situations where manually adjusting filters isn't practical. The kit bundles the Mirage Matte Box with a 95mm variable ND filter, a dedicated motor, and a wireless controller. This means you can dial in your ND density from a distance — a genuine advantage when your camera is balanced on a gimbal stabilizer, mounted on a drone, or locked into a tight rig configuration. The wireless controller communicates with the motor to rotate the VND ring smoothly, giving you real-time exposure adjustment without disrupting your shot.

The Mirage itself is engineered to be lightweight and aerodynamic, with integrated vents that reduce wind drag during drone and outdoor work. Its modular design supports both 95mm circular filters and 4x5.65" rectangular filters, so you can mix and match filtration depending on the shoot. The matte box clamps onto lenses with 95mm front diameters natively, and filter thread adapters extend compatibility to smaller lenses. For productions already invested in the Tilta ecosystem, the Mirage integrates with Nucleus series wireless follow focus systems, allowing centralized control of both focus and filtration from a single operator position.
