Just don’t buy the Proaim rail system with it.ĭISCLAIMER: I paid full price from mine from who have been excellent with replacing parts for my Proaim gear. I’m not a fan of Proaim (read my other reviews) in any way, shape or form, but if you are a budget filmmaker and need a matte box, this may do the job. It’s simple PVC plastic, no carbon fiber, you are getting what you pay for and nothing more. No one is going to praise you on how sexy it is. Still pretty cheap, but not total garbage.

#Pro aim matte box cracked

I bought 3 of them for my rental business about a year ago, so I might as well share my opinions on them. Or at least… (as I’ve learned) they’ve copied someone else’s design and made it cheaper.
