The whole idea with the Misfit Kick was to build a matte box that took the best elements of the original Misfit and improved on them. You may be wondering why Bright Tangerine would release a new version of an existing matte box? If it ain’t broke why fix it? While there is nothing wrong with the original Misfit, there are always ways where a company can improve an existing product. What is the difference between the Misfit Kick & the Misfit? Image copyright Newsshooter The original Misfit after The Misfits, the VIV after Vivienne Westwood who many regards as the mother of punk and so on. The Strummer DNA matte box is named after The Clash’s lead singer Joe Strummer. The Misfit Kick is not the first Bright Tangerine matte box to have name ties to the group. It attaches to the Misfit Kick via a quick-release mechanism and can also be secured as a bottom flag.īright Tangerine certainly has a strong appreciation of the British Punk group The Clash. The top flag is made of true carbon fiber and has variable side wings. The 4 x 5.65″ filter trays are made of aluminium and have a spring-loaded locking clasp. These filters may not be needed all the time compared to an ND and diffusion/FX filter that may stay loaded for a whole shoot, so having the ability to drop in a third filter when needed is always handy. So when you don’t need to use three filters, you gain the extra coverage without having to spend time removing the third stage, it simply collapses into the core.Īnother reason why you may want to have 3-stages is to use a diopter or Rota Pola. All you need is a third filter tray.Ī 2-stage matte box will always have a wider field of view compared to a 3-stage, as a third stage will push the shade further out from the lens. The main component of the Misfit Kick matte box is the Core, which features Bright Tangerine’s patented Reveal Stage, which allows for tool-free conversion between a 2-stage and 3-stage. Secure lanyard/safety wire point for aerial & jib work.Compatible with ARRI LMB accessories including clamp adapters, rod consoles, filter trays & hard mattes.Configurable to clip on, rod mount or swing away in 15mm LWS or 15/19mm Studio.Covers wide lenses and large zooms with 4×5.65″ filters.New Frame Safe clamp adapters for wider coverage on large format sensors.Tool-less conversion from 2-stage to 3-stage.
Once you’re ready to mount the matte box to your lens, use the 114mm clamp to secure it to the front and you’re ready to shoot. Also included is a carbon fiber top flag for blocking any reflections. For holding filters, two trays are included, and they mount in the Misfit’s fixed stages.
This kit is based on the carbon fiber Misfit core, which can hold three 4×5.65″ filters and, with the twist of a knob, can be expanded to hold three filters.
To go back to two-stage, simply remove the filter tray and collapse the Misfit back in, giving you that extra field of view.Ĭheck out all the lenses we offer for rent hereīridging the gap between compact clip-on sunshades and multi-staged matte boxes, Bright Tangerine‘s Misfit Matte Box Kit is versatile while remaining lightweight.
