Tilta Mirage Pro Matte Box Review
Here's my review of the newly released Tilta Mirage Pro Matte Box (VND Kit). I'll update this description once I hear back Tilta in regards to the major flaw I found with the matte box. Thanks for watching! Update: Titla responded with "It is the correct design but I do understand the idea of a catch guard. I can certainly pass this feedback along to see if there is some sort of accessory we can offer down the line. You shouldn't have to worry about the filter falling through but I would keep a hand on the filter while tightening just for reassurance" Save 70% off Audiio Pro: https://audiio.com/partner?oid=1&affid=1730 Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:11 Size 1:00 Build Quality 2:00 Swing Away Adapter 3:02 Front Hood 3:26 Top Flag 3:47 Lens attachments 4:14 Hard Mattes 4:45 MAJOR FLAW 7:20 VND 8:50 Final Thoughts
