1 Introduction
The modular matte box LMB 4x5 expands on the feature set and creative possibilities
of ARRI’s mechanical accessories line. Suited for a wide range of applications in just
one product, this robust but lightweight matte box allows for an unprecedented level of
exibility. From a single-lter conguration for gimbals, drones, or Steadicams to clamp-
on versions up to rod-mounted solutions (using either 15 mm lightweight, 15 or 19 mm
studio rods), the LMB 4x5 makes short work of challenging situations. Altering the various
applications does not necessitate any supplementary tools, making set-ups quick and
easy. The matte box is also highly compatible to legacy accessories; all clamp adapters
and lter frames from the former models LMB-5, LMB-15, and LMB-25 are compatible.
Main Features
• One product covering a wide range of applications
• Offers quick and easy set up without tools
• Compatable with 4” x 5.65” and 4” x 4” lter sizes
