Getting Started Guide

Making Adjustments to Your Matte Box PRO Unit

To adjust the height of the matte box, loosen the black thumb screws which

attach the matte box to the swing away hinge

or lower (27) the matte box to your desired position then re-tighten the black

thumb screws to lock the matte box in place.

Inserting Filters in the Matte Box PRO

The 2 dual-purpose 360-degree rotating filter trays and the two filter tray

adapters included with your matte box allow the use of both 4x4" and

4x5.65" professional filters that can be easily interchanged and rotated for

different looks (31).

To insert a filter, grip the filter tray tab and loosen the blue thumb screw on

the side of the filter stage (32), then lift the filter tray free from the matte box

(33). Place your filter into the holder by pulling back on the spring loaded

clamp attached to the filter tray tab (34). Release the spring-loaded clamp

to secure the filter in place (35). Replace the filter tray in the matte box and

tighten the blue thumb screw to secure the tray in place.

NOTE:

Do not let go of the filter holder tab until the blue thumb screw is

tightened or the filter holder could fall through the matte box.
