K&F Concept Matte Box, Review & Real World Demonstration

[@Kurefultv]

Thanks sir, Thanks for explaining details of used and other necessary hints

[@photographyforenjoyment]

I am glad you found it useful

Very interesting and educational video, I had no idea that such an accessory existed or what it was for. Needless to say that since I only photograph iguanas and no video at all I won’t be buying this “gadget”. On a separate note, you could've done the demonstration in front of a castle and included some history about it🤣. Always great to see you Alan, be well.

[@photographyforenjoyment]

There's just no pleasing some people 😂. Stay safe over there in Iguana land!

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

@@photographyforenjoyment Haha, you know me well by now Alan, there’s no way I’m not going to make a comment.

Five thumbs up for this demo video Alan! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I have been shooting more video lately, birds mainly, but also at wedding and other venues, handheld at weddings but on a tripod for birding. I don’t use a separate camera for videography so yes, I’m one of those hybrid shooters you mentioned. It’s quite easy for me to switch between video and photos on my Canon R5 and I don’t see a need for purchasing a separate camera strictly for video just yet. I would probably choose one or the other format before heading outside just so I wouldn’t be lugging around so much gear. I might end up purchasing a matte box sometime in the coming new year for my birding/wildlife videography. I can certainly see its benefits. Are you aware that DaVinci Resolve has a pretty good image stabilization feature for shaky video footage? I’d guess you probably are. Anyway….a very enjoyable watch with the added benefit of learning something new! 💜😎💜

[@photographyforenjoyment]

Hello TC, yes I do use DR stabilisation from time to time as it is very good (but crops-in slightly of course). I hope come the New Year that I can post some actual video, rather than that appalling stuff you just had to endure!

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

that's all very good Alan, but how would I go about attaching it to my Osmo?

[@photographyforenjoyment]

Hmmm, I don't think they make adaptors that size... You would ruin the gimbal too!

[@andrewowen-price4496]

I found that interesting - I had no clue as to what a matte box was or did - and now I do! Thanks!!

[@photographyforenjoyment]

Hi Andrew, at least you found it educational! Hope all is well with you my friend 👍

[@andrewowen-price4496]

@@photographyforenjoyment all fine here ... apart from this weather !!

[@GilbertTV]

thanks , very informative , don't see a lot of point of that black mist filter , thanks for showing me so I don't waste my money on one , & ND32 I think would work better for what I need

[@photographyforenjoyment]

Hello Gilbert and thanks for commenting. You have some lovely creative videos on your own channel and it deserves to grow, so I am glad that this review of mine has been a little help.

[@GilbertTV]

@@photographyforenjoyment thank you , ive not done a lot in recent years on my own channel sadly bad health has stopped me getting out but I do hope to do some more model videos in 2025

[@photographyforenjoyment]

I really hope 2025 gives you the opportunity!

That was educational Alan, I found that an interesting display of a type of equipment I knew nothing about, would I buy one? Well probably unlikely, I guess this type of gear is only going to be used by 1% of the photographer world, I'm including smartphone users in that calculation. Would this have any useful application for the stills landscape photographer or would it be overkill? I have seen more compact filter holders, the only difference I see here is the flag? Anyway I will bear this lesson in mind if my photo videograph interests ever advance to this level. Cheers Alan.

[@photographyforenjoyment]

Definite overkill for the majority of stills work Steve. The 'flag' is useful of course, but for a still image a conventional hood + maybe extra shading with a hand will reduce flair. It's only when you want to zoom or pan (while filming) that it becomes a better all-around accessory.
