NiSi Cinema C5 Matte Box System

The NiSi C5 Matte box system is a lightweight, versatile, and minimally designed matte box to serve the modern cinematographer. Designed to work with a multitude of lenses and provide a mounting solution for NiSi’s Cinema line of filters along with other 4mm thick filters, The C5 is crafted to meet the needs of all creators. Paired with NiSi’s new 4x4 rotating circular filters, it can fit into the workflow of a run-and-gun shooter all the way up to a full-scale production. Paired with a set of NiSi’s cinema line of filters, there is no better choice to aid in producing the creative look that is desired in camera whilst managing tricky lighting conditions.

The C5 is built to last using Aluminium and Carbon Fibre to protect the filters it holds while keeping the weight down. It features a clamp-on style with adapter rings to suit lenses with filter threads and cinema lenses with a 95mm outer diameter. The deep filter depth blocks glare and places the filter as close to the lens as possible to ensure no vignetting on lenses down to 15mm full frame equivalent. The Carbon Fiber top flag also reduces glare from any overhead light source. The holder has slots in the side to reduce wind resistance, and the 350g weight makes it perfect for aerial platforms and gimbal use mounted on vehicles.

The C5 comes packaged in a pouch that will hold all accessories that the C5 comes with to make it ready to use on set with various lenses. The holder incorporates a top entry 4x4 slot for square filters in a tray or NiSi’s Rotating filters designed for the C5. The filter tray can hold 2mm or 4mm thick filters. There is a side entry 4x5.65 filter slot to suit all 4x5.65 filters from ND’s to Grads, Mist, Polarisers, and more.

Available in different kits: Starter, Filmmaker and Cinema Kit

I purchased this to use with my Sony A7RV & FX6. The first thing that you'll notice when you take it out of the box, is the high quality optics and build quality. I especially like how it's packaged, and ease of use to swap the filters.

I would like to thank all the NISI Engineers for an excellent product.

Please when is the newer version coming? I have been wanting to get this matte box but it doesn't have rod support.

Is it anyhow possible to remove the Top Flag? Thanks 😀

[DriftwoodProject]

Looks like an excellent solution. Any plans for 15mm rod support instead of clamp on?

Looks awesome, wish the flag was able to come of easily and How and what motors can be used to spin the VND? Cannot see where a clamp could be added to run a focus motor to turn the VND? Thanks

Is it possible to use screw on lens filters (such as diffusion) at the same time as the matte box?

[mekkivision]

Is the C5 Matte Box System go on the 55 mm thread?

[JustWhatINeed]

What 3rd party motors would work on the VND?

[storiesandpeople]

Is there an adapter for lenses with smaller filter size... 52mm or 55mm .. Or is it possible to use third party adapters?

Does it work with ZEISS CP3 on blackmagic 6k?
