Description

The Bright Tangerine Misfit Kick Mk II represents professional matte box design at its finest, combining comprehensive light control with practical versatility for cinema production. The 3-stage design with quick-release carbon fibre top flag provides exceptional flare protection - essential when shooting in challenging lighting conditions where stray light would degrade image contrast and introduce unwanted lens flare. The three 4x5.65" filter trays accommodate standard cinema filters, allowing you to use ND filters for exposure control, polarisers for reflection management, and colour correction filters simultaneously. We've supplied this matte box extensively for narrative productions requiring professional image quality, commercial work where flare control is critical, and documentary shooting where quick filter changes speed up workflow.

What sets the Misfit Kick Mk II apart is the combination of versatility and practical design. The interchangeable clamp-on rings accommodate lens diameters from 80mm through to 114mm, making the matte box compatible with virtually any professional cinema lens without requiring different matte boxes for different lenses. The quick-release carbon fibre top flag can be adjusted or removed instantly, allowing rapid response to changing lighting conditions without tools. The 15mm LWS support system mounts securely to industry-standard 15mm rod systems, distributing weight properly rather than cantilevering from the lens threads - essential for heavier filter loads and professional rig stability.

The five included hard mattes prevent vignetting with different focal lengths whilst providing precise light control, and the Black Hole rubber doughnut eliminates light leaks between matte box and lens ensuring complete flare protection. The lightweight construction minimises added weight to camera rigs whilst maintaining the rigidity required for professional shooting. Whether you're shooting narrative work requiring pristine image quality, commercials where flare control is essential, or any production demanding professional filtration and light control, the Misfit Kick Mk II delivers comprehensive matte box performance.

FAQs

What lenses does this matte box fit? The interchangeable clamp-on rings (80mm, 85mm, 95mm, 110mm, 114mm diameters) accommodate virtually any professional cinema lens. Most cinema lenses fall within this diameter range, and you simply swap the clamp-on ring to match your lens diameter. The Black Hole rubber doughnut provides the seal between matte box and lens, eliminating light leaks.

Can I use standard cinema filters? Yes, the three filter trays accept standard 4x5.65" cinema filters - the professional standard size used across the industry. This allows you to use ND filters, polarisers, colour correction filters, and effects filters from any manufacturer that produces 4x5.65" format filters.

Why three filter trays? Three trays allow you to stack multiple filters simultaneously - for example, ND filter for exposure control, polariser for reflection management, and colour correction filter for creative look, all at once. This eliminates the need to constantly swap filters for different shots, speeding up workflow significantly.

What's the advantage of the top flag? The quick-release carbon fibre top flag provides instant flare control when shooting towards bright light sources. It can be adjusted quickly without tools to block light from hitting the lens at various angles, and removed entirely when not needed. The carbon fibre construction keeps weight minimal whilst providing rigidity.

How does it mount to the camera? The matte box mounts via 15mm LWS (lightweight support) rods using the included support brackets (80-95mm and 100-114mm spacing). This distributes weight to the rod system rather than cantilevering from the lens, ensuring stable mounting even with heavy filter loads. The 15mm rod system is the industry standard for professional cinema rigs.

What are the hard mattes for? Hard mattes prevent vignetting with different focal lengths whilst providing precise light control. Different focal lengths see different amounts of the matte box interior, and the appropriate hard matte ensures you get maximum flare protection without darkening frame edges. The five included mattes cover typical focal length ranges.

Is it compatible with follow focus systems? Yes, the matte box mounts to the 15mm rod system, leaving the lens gears completely accessible for follow focus motors and wireless lens control systems. The design doesn't interfere with standard cinema lens accessories.
