1 Introduction
The LMB 6x6 is designed for maximum modularity at a minimum weight, and can be tted
without the use of tools. Optimized for up to three 6.6 x 6.6 inch lters, the LMB 6x6 can
be used with 15 mm and 19 mm studio rod support.
To avoid unwanted reections the Matte Box can be tilted 10° up and down with the
optional Swing-Away Tilt Module. This module also allows fast and easy lens changes
without the need to dismantle the Matte Box.
For applications like Gimbal and Steadicam the additional non-rotatable and rotatable
lter stage can be used as an extreme lightweight set-up.
All common lens diameters are available as clamp adapters to t the matte box directly to
a lens.
Main Features
• For 6.6” x 6.6” lter size
• One product covering a wide range of applications
• Offers quick and easy set-up without tools
• Lightweight and streamlined
