After many months of careful development and revisions based on user feedback, we are happy to report that users are starting to receive notification that their reserved/ordered mattebox units from Redrock Micro will be shipping soon. Reports have been trickling in to FreshDV and on the various filmmaking forums, so we’re pretty stoked to hear user’s first reports! Feel free to send in your first impressions and photos to myself or Kendal via the contact info on our About page. We’d be delighted to host the first unboxing photos and video.

And if you’re looking for some creative and technical instruction on how to utilize your brand spankin’ new mattebox system, B&H recently posted an Controlling and Manipulating Light article that covers optical filters and how to work with them in a mattebox. They include before and after examples of color and diffusion filtration, as well as neutral density (ND) and graduated filters. For a basic optical filter set, consider Redrock’s sub-$500 microFilters bundle which we got the scoop on in both our NAB and CineGear Expo coverage.
