• 15mm Pair of Extension Rods (7.5") Chrosziel's 15mm Pair of Extension Rods (7.5") can be used to add range to any 15mm support rig. These high-strength aluminum rods allow for larger matteboxes and additional accessories, such as lights or follow focus, to be used on-camera.
• Leather Handle Set for Camera and Support (Pair) The pair of Leather Handles for Camera and Support from Chrosziel are retractable and swiveling handles. Both units can attach to all cameras and supports with the industry standard rosettes with Hirth-spacing and center M6 screw. The hand piece position may be varied between 240 to 400mm on the shaft with a diameter of 18mm.

• MB 450R2 Matte Box Lightweight, robust, and ready for production, Chrosziel's MB 450R2 Matte Box can complement a wide range of cameras, from smaller camcorders or mirrorless cameras, up to larger cinema cameras and ENG camcorders with an outer lens diameter of up to 114mm (lenses with a diameter smaller than 110mm may require additional accessories for full compatibility). With the included top flag and 16:9 mask, glare from outside the frame can be effectively controlled for improved contrast and reduced ghosting in the recorded image. Further control can be achieved through separately available side and bottom flags. Insert your favorite filters into the available stages for further creative control. The rear stage accepts 4x4" filters only, while the front stage will accept 4x4 as well as larger 4x5.65" filters. Both stages rotate, enabling the use and control of polarizing as well as graduated filters. For further possibilities, the MB 450R2 can be upgraded in the future with a separately available third rotating filter stage. To use this matte box on your camera, the camera must be mounted on a separately available 15mm LWS baseplate. Fit the matte box on the rods until it covers the lens front. Rod-mounted matte boxes are preferred over clamp-on matte boxes in many production situations as they are always properly aligned with the image horizon.
