Product Information
Full details
The Kondor Blue Single Tray Stage Kit is designed for filmmakers using KONDOR Blue Matte Box System kits or ARRI LMB systems. Its primary benefit is the toolless, captive adjustment knobs and magnetic filter system for quick filter changes. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with ARRI-style 8mm 4-post systems and ARRI LMB, requiring users to ensure it integrates with their existing matte box setup. This kit provides a single-stage filter solution, enhancing shooting flexibility with its premium build and user-friendly design.
