Mattebox and filters question.

The Indifocus mattebox, from the pic, looks exactly like the Cinevate mattebox. Can anyone confirm if they are the same?
I have the Cinevate one. It is fine, but I find the filter trays to be flimsy and do not seem secure when loaded. I think I will upgrade to the red rock.

It's a good choice!

I use the FM600 mattebox from www.videogear.co.uk not expensive but does the job well.

While their isn't anything wrong with other premium brands. Check out the MB-250 from Vocas marketed under the Century name;

Also as mentioned before. This is the same glass as our legendary Schneider brand filters but only in 4x4 and only these types in the kit. Water-white optical filters for a very low price. Check out the Instructional DVD links on this page;
