Wooden Camera UMB-1 Universal Mattebox (Pro)
The Wooden Camera UMB-1 Universal Matte Box (Pro) mounts to 15mm LWS rods using a height-adjustable swing-away bracket and features two rotating 4 x 5.65" filter stages, with an optional third stage available as an add-on. It has a 143mm diameter opening and includes ARRI-style rubber bellows with a standard 114mm opening, a set of bellows reduction rings, and a universal cloth donut for non-standard lens diameters. The reduction rings snap into the bellows quickly for fast lens changes and is compatible with all third-party 114mm threaded bellows. For accessory mounting, the matte box includes NATO accessory rails on the left, right, and top. Completing the package is a folding top flag. The UMB-1 is designed to be user upgradable and can quickly transition between Swing Away 15mm rod and Clamp-On configurations.
The components are shipped in a box with custom-cut foam. This foam can be removed from the shipping box and inserted into a Pelican 1550 case. Please note that the Pelican 1550 case is not included.
