Description
I wanted to create a multifunctional compact matte box that can be used lightly when shooting videos with a digital camera. A square filter (4 x4" & 4x 5.65 filter and 100 x100mm & 100 x 150mm) mounting holder is included, and the gradation filter is height adjustable and designed for effective use.
It may be an upgraded version of the matte box that I shared over a year ago, but it's completely redesigned, with different figures in detail. So there is no compatibility between the old and new versions.
(Check the link below for the previous matte-box version.)

The upgraded feature is the design of the bottom of the mat box so that the rotating circular filter (variable ND & CPL filter) is installed and the filter can be directly operated with a finger from the bottom of the mat box. (Circular or round filters support up to 95mm filters)
When mounting the square filter on the mat box, it is cumbersome and inconvenient to use a dedicated tray, so we designed it so that the square filter can be directly mounted on the mat box. For convenience when using the gradation filter, it is designed to be mounted vertically rather than horizontally.
The French flag on a matte box is very cumbersome to attach and detach and is too bulky to be practical for one person or small production sites. Therefore, with this in mind, it is designed in the form of a hood that can be moved and fixed back and forth. The length of the hood can be adjusted appropriately depending on the focal length of the lens, when carrying or storing, and when it is necessary to block light when shooting. (I also added a fixed hood method that has a large shading effect, but it was not actually printed because it was too large and inconvenient to carry and store was expected.)
I wanted to make a lightweight matte box, so I used only 10% of the in-fill when printing 3D printing. I wanted to use a matte PLA material, but since there is no completely matte material, I used carbon fiber PLA that is close to matte.
In the previous version, insert nuts were used, but the number of parts increased and the assembly process was cumbersome, so this was omitted and simplified.
