NiSi Cinema C5 Matte Box Filmmaker Kit

Professional Control for Modern Cinematography

The NiSi C5 Matte Box Filmmaker Kit is a lightweight, versatile solution designed for run-and-gun shooters and full-scale productions. Crafted from aluminum, carbon fiber, and composite plastic, it offers a durable yet minimal footprint for any camera rig. The system features a 95mm clamp-on mount and includes adapter rings for standard filter threads, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cinema and photography lenses.

Advanced Filter Integration

This kit is built around the True Color VND 1-5 Stops, which provides precise exposure control without the color shift common in variable filters. When combined with the included Nano IR ND 1.2 (4 Stop) filter, you can achieve up to 9 stops of light reduction while maintaining perfect color accuracy. The system supports both 4x4 and 4x5.65 filters, allowing for flexible workflows with NDs, grads, and specialized effects.

Optimized for Wide Angles and Gimbals

Designed to prevent vignetting on lenses as wide as 15mm (full-frame equivalent), the C5 places filters as close to the lens as possible. At only 350g, it is ideal for gimbal and aerial use, featuring side slots to reduce wind resistance. The carbon fiber top flag and deep filter depth effectively eliminate glare and lens flare from overhead light sources.

Complete Filmmaker Kit

The Filmmaker Kit includes the C5 Matte Box, the True Color VND, a 4-stop ND, and the 1/8 Allure Mist Black filter for cinematic highlight softening. It comes complete with adapter rings (67mm, 72mm, 77mm, and 82mm) and a protective carrying pouch to keep your gear organized on set.
