[@薛宇文-x1x]

and lots of vaxis vfx filters

[@EugeneMaynard]

For sure! 😀

[@AUTOSARTID]

hopefully the prices getting lower..

[@tonymuki]

This review was done in 2021! I'm getting in to filming now after years of still photography and having to land into this priceless information about Tilta was the best thing. My dilemma was to choose between small rig or Tilta ! From this comprehensive review no doubt I'm ordering Tilta Mirage matte box

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

9:24 also eliminating camera shake that would otherwise occur from manually adjusting the VND! Brilliant!

[@mattc3510]

This review was absolutely epic thank you. Just got the rear tilts handle for rs2. Blown away with the quality of tilta products. Subbed

[@VagiPeti]

totally agree with you ! The products are epic, but also how Adam introduces them is epic! Pretty amazing! I would love to hang out with Adam to learn... Would be awesome to be the bestboy Peter of the BESTBOY ADAM :D

[@rongc4105]

Absolutely love the information you pass on in you channel. Thanks so much!

[@MannWayne]

An absolutely brilliant review along with a ton of priceless information. Thank you and stay safe.

[@RockstarCinema]

Your video content is great and helpful you deserve need more recognition

[@T1Media.ireland]

Thank you for the detail and effort I know it took to make this video! Brilliant information

[@theoantoniou7002]

Good review. Understood every aspect of this new system, as opposed to some other reviews I've seen. 👍

[@rothvisuals]

I'm definitely going to be using your trick of slapping a ring on the variable ND!!! Wow. The possibilities

[@hasandrinkstea]

This is one of those accessories, that I don't need, but it is such a good device that I want to buy it anyway to, at least, support the innovation :) Thank you for this review!

[@cassiepeng6441]

Nice video! And Where can I buy these filters?

[@geckonontrip-tokarevyury4619]

Thx! I just come back from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿nuclear area shooting. So cool that you inform me about it! Cheers 🥂 dude!

[@producer55]

GREAT REVIEW! Thanks! and happy shooting out there!

[@mikeleefilms1028]

As always!! great review on the tilta mirage matte box!! just waiting for my orders to come!

[@storytellingproductions9927]

Great video! I like your honest take!

[@ashok.vardhan.g]

Excellent review. Keep up the good work!

[@diredwiz]

Was waiting for this an a Kenyan filmmaker who have learnt alot from you

[@johndrew4689]

Excellent review. You certainly know your stuff. Thankyou.

[@lunavisionnorway]

Tilta should sponsor you. Your video reviews are awesome!

[@TobiasAdeFilm]

Thats amazing! Please make a Video about the setup of your pictor Zooms on the RS2. Absolute Crazy but smooth build. Amazing to see

[@barisakpinar]

It's an excellent review of the Tilta Mirage Mattebox. In addition to that, may I ask if you are using the Siriu anamorphic lens on an MFT body? I'm quite amazed at how this individual managed to use the Siriu anamorphic lens on the 6K Pro camera.

[@andrew_maccoll]

You're a gun. Cheers bro. As usual comprehensive. Thanks for taking the time to inform us all. We appreciate you. I think I am going to get this matte box now!

[@hirofumin]

Thanks for awesome review! Using Polarpro basecamp with Nucleus M for CP with Float only 4 month and now this dream matte box!! I must consider this when weight issue comes up for my gimbal.

[@trukach]

Thank for the super useful review and video!

[@drumsbyjones]

Crazy good video!!! Thx for this!

[@BestboyAdam]

thx Jonas 💪👍👌

[@We-Think-together]

Thanks for the very detailed review

[@talizhakniya9469]

7:20 the 6K Pro dying in the shot is hilarious

[@TonyJSchiavone]

Can i have a CPL on my lens and then mount the matte box over that CPL?

[@AJ_UK_LIVE]

Hi Adam and family! Good to see you are well! I often think that Tilta are the 'pro' version of the things you make yourself. You seem to have a similar ethos to one another. I feel like you could do consulting work for them! It's so nice to be able to have a variable ND on a control like that. I got the Weeble S transmission package, and whilst I love being able to use my iPhone on the gimbal to give me more control and angle options, unfortunately I cannot use the follow focus motor function as my lenses are fly-by-wire micro four thirds. Maybe someday I will be able to afford a speedbooster and EF glass!

[@toadpond101]

Loved the review! Please keep reviewing camera gear, this helps by buying decisions, :)

[@LangstoniusRex]

Man these tilta guys are really going all in with camera accessories.

[@limagepicture9023]

Hi, thanks for your very interesting review. To avoid too much color shift with VNDs, I use a Kase Clip ND8 filter and when I use a VND, it limits a lot the color shift and also the light reflection because I don't use the VND to its maximum. The X pattern is also significantly reduced with my Sony FE 20mm and 24mm lenses. I haven't found a better solution at the moment, other than using ND filters alone. It's the same for videos, now I use a Kase Mist (Dream) Clip In filter in front of the Sony sensor (equivalent between 1/8 and 1/4 Polar pro). I get a really nice result.

[@darkknightwithanidea1845]

Go ABB … Always Great reviews

[@swisslakestudio7466]

Dobre 👍 fajna recenzja, choc wedlug mnie ten ND ma spory shift gdyz kolor w domu i na ogrodzie znaczaco sie roznia, w domu jest cieply na zewnatrz troche jak z szeregowca Rayana 😀 ale ogolnie robisz najlepsze i najbardziej merytoryczne video jesli chodzi o akcesoria Tilta 👍 super i czekam na nastepne 😀

[@GertKombate]

Impressively neat walkthrough!

[@jamesholloway3877]

Great work, as always!

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

The only thing I don’t like about it is that the adapters for large format filters just clamp onto the front. Same as the mini matte box they make, which puts it right in glare and streakville. Wish they had put it into the back…. I am not selling my expensive filters. This is a nice box tho. And I will pick one up. I hope the Vaxis filters are good because I’ve found most of their glass products to suck.

[@PaulePorter]

Thanks Adam :) does the filter cut IR ? Can I use it in conjunction with the Laowa 12mm zero D ?

[@gen19musicchannel35]

Adam, you are the hack ninja!

[@peterbrune331]

Love your Videos!

[@psysword]

Fabulous. Thanks so much for your explanation

[@JulesFredericNerestant]

I can see a pretty clear magenta shift on the ND, I'd be afraid it could be too pronounced to grade out unfortunately.

[@aroundtheworld5901]

Nice! THX for sharing Your solution!

[@AleSad80]

Man, you deserve at least 1m followers! Your channel is so dope, keep up the good work!

[@JustinVandergaast]

Excellent review!

[@HakimFilmmaker]

Great stuff Adam, Does the 3D focus system work better below the camera like you rigged it?

[@noctloxiagaming]

5:05 What watch is that?

[@apropo441]

Thanks for this presentation ! The problem with variable NDs is that since it's a couple a polarizers, it changes the light polarisarion, so light reflection, when rotated in capture. Do you know it the whole variable ND could be turned to keep control of the polarization ?

[@T1Media.ireland]

Does the variable ND have IR Cut also?

[@cammackey]

Great review man! So when shooting on wider lenses, how many max stops of ND can you get before the X ring shows up? Maybe compared to the polar pros 2-5 and 6-9..for wider lens is it better to go with the polar pro or the tilta?

[@danielvilliers612]

I think one solution is to get a 4x4 square ND filter, a 3 stop would be enough so that you don't have to turn it too much.

[@Ojini]

Hey Adam, what app are you using to monitor your footage on that smartphone?

[@19Matsu93]

Hello Adam, i love your videos and i am always impressed how you Setup your gimbal with such payload like the BMPCC 6k with the heavy DZO Zoom Lenses with all the accessories. It there a possibility to get a setup video how you do it? I am always struggling how to set up the weight in a way that the arms don't get blocked.

[@duckyTV]

Unrelated to this video but I think you should try doing an experimental rig where you attempt to built out a DJI RS2 into a poor man's Ronin 4D. I've been trying to build mine into a similar form factor for a while now and I'd be interested to see what you come up with

[@Mandsefar]

My back would love to know what that vest and arm is called? Looks awesome with the Ronin on.

[@egg6649]

What’s the helmet at 3:21?

[@BampFilm]

Hey Adam… can you think of a solution for 4x4 filters… I have some classic 85’s and grads I’d love to use with my Mirage

[@MeganFoxIsDelicious]

Can you do a video over your setup? I have a BMPCC 4k and my motor at times tends to struggle but yours seems smooth as butter

[@sketch8307]

If ur talking about the nucleus motor use a higher voltage rather than the 5v micro usb port it comes with. 12v from V-mount Battery shouldn't be good enough ( use a Dtap to Micro ubs with higher voltage than 5v)

[@ianaannevik1401]

In addition to the VND, can you stack other filters on top?

[@stefanialaspalmas9773]

hej :) czy możesz powiedzieć jak się dokładnie nazywa ten specjalny adapter z 5:52 nie moge znaleźć, prosze pomocy

[@BestboyAdam]

nie mam pewnosci jak dokladnie sie nazywa ale napewno jest w zestawie mirage

[@Outlabyrinth]

Extremely good !!! Could you put diopters ? For anamorphic!!!!

[@viewplusproduction]

how do you powering bmpcc? i dont see any power cable

[@PedroHofmann]

fantastic info & video. Thanks so much for that! Please share with us the supporting system for your glidecam. I am searching something like this for my DJI Ronin RS2. Very interesting

[@hanneswenn]

I love your Videos so much

[@schmollywood]

Great video Adam, I wonder if it’s possible to also still use screw-in filters with this setup. It was possible with Tiltas Mini Matte Box to use Screw in Filters on the lens even when using the step-up rings .With this new Step-up ring design I’m not sure if that would still work. Could you please check?

[@BODOMPS]

tysm, been looking for a box that doesn't suck like smallrig's does

[@sardanapalos]

can u use the mirage motor for pulling focus? seems so small and nice

[@danielvilliers612]

why didn't they put some side flag to control the light. Its as if they have thought about everything except some obvious thing. I can understand it might be too heavy for a front lenses but as they supply the rail attachment it not a problem.

[@marcovhs]

Stackable Filter Tray for 4x4 filters is it possible?

[@ChenKangFilms]

Can you make a video about your set up please? I also have the Bmpcc 6k pro with pictor zoom lenses. But I have the zhiyun crane 3s which seems to have some issues with vibration. How well does DJI RS 2 work with your set up?

[@Beaukester]

Can you go into low mode with that BMPCC6k and Pictor lens on the float/ Ronin RS2? Thanks and I love your content.

[@薛宇文-x1x]

awesome post！😃

[@xenex2404]

the only thing about VND systems like this is that they dont allow you to put your light waves in phase by rotating the whole filter.

[@poppingZiben]

hey what about lenses with front diameter more than 95mm?

[@bobuk5722]

Thank you, really helpful.

[@reyndert]

What step up ring did you use on the laowa 7.5 mm? I'm afraid to get vignette when using my 49mm to 52mm step-up ring and then add another one. Thanks for answering!

[@Antonio-MadTexMex]

Do you know what protocol the Tilta Nucleus Nano Adapter is using? I want to create an AUto Focus for manual cine lenses using a Raspberry Pi with a stereo camera

[@boygeorgenepomuceno6231]

Can you use circular effects filters and the circular vnd at the same sane time?

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

9:56 wow!

[@wiseheadproductionsllc6653]

Awesome. I was about to pull the trigger on a NiSi C5, but this looks to be more convenient with the wireless ND controller, and the option to mount the matte box on rails. I heard NiSi Vari ND true color is the best, but it's also only 5 stops. How _off_ is the Tilta ND color shift?

[@geoffreycostello5638]

I want to mount it on my cinema lens kit all the lenses are 77mm but I don’t want to screw the adapter on a new lens every time I swap lenses, is there an adapter without a thread that can go directly on a 77mm lens and into the matte box no screwing required?? Anyone can help me out would be appreciated!

[@JoATTech]

Where can you buy Vaxis filters in Poland? Have you ordered them directly? Or you got them for the review from Tilta or Vaxis?

[@MrWarwickJones]

Image being able to use a VND instead of ISO for native auto-exposure on your camera! If Tilta can work out how to control the motorised VND using the camera's exposure value, so it maintains consistent exposure by increasing or decreases the ND, that would be INSANE!

[@FLYAFFAIRNATION]

Hi this is a great review. Would a xeen lens fit this Matt box?

[@skymakai]

Thanks for the review! What's the widest (full frame) angle the matte box will work with?

[@Marta-nl1xe]

Is that Blackmagic 6k pro? Would you please share some details about your setup? I am trying to get the tilta and balance everything on my ronin rs - a have an ssd drive at the top, and need to add a microphone as well - was considering rode wireless go... I see you also have a cage here with a massive dzo. Do you think I could also get tilta cage for my 6 k pro and it would handle everything together? I am going to use id with a dummy battery and a cable to powerbank in my pocket.

[@BaconMoustache]

Hey, what gimbal are you using for the BMPCC in this video? I have the Moza Air 2 and I’ve NEVER been able to get it to balance. Ever.

[@sketch8307]

Question: does the VND works good on bmpcc6k meaning in color, do it not have any Infrared problems in the blacks/shadows? I used to use IRnd Filters on my bmpcc6k and wondering is it built in or do you not see that problem in the VND

[@studiorjp]

Thanks for the useful information. I have a sel1224g. sel1224g has no filter groove so I can't use ND filters. Have you verified if this mattebox can be used with sel1224g?

[@UMBeams]

Well done video! What is the hardware you’re using to mount a rail on top of your cage for the follow focus?

[@igbuhumwenzeosaigbovo5576]

Just love you channel

Is the VND IR cut?

[@okaymotion]

Dope review

[@AvalonCreative]

Thanx for this review!

[@ekphotography]

Thanks for the video, Can you use the VND filter and one of the specialty filters at the same time? In other words are there 2 filters slots for the round filters? Thank you. And at 9:24 what app were you using to monitor your camera?

[@ScarmackProductions]

You can use the VND if you get the stack mount and add it to the front, I did this but I get vignetting wider than 30mm so just be careful. You can still add a 4x5 filter to the front. And the app looks like the Raven Eye from Ronin but I could be wrong.

[@ScarmackProductions]

Have you noticed any barrel vignetting when using the stack adapter to mount two 95mm circular filters? I use the Sony S3/A1 and the GM 24-70 as my main run and gun and notice anything wider than 30mm I get heavy vignetting around the corner edges, of course the “solution” is to just zoom to 35mm and ignore it, but is that right? Should you see anything or did I mount it wrong lol

[@DroseMr]

Yes. Thank You !

[@boygeorgenepomuceno6231]

I mean could you use 2 circular filter trays at the same time?

[@ScarmackProductions]

Yes, they do have a stackable mount you can buy so you can still utilize the VND and then an additional filter or two in the second slot, and then of course the 4x5 tray in front.
