Tilta Mirage Pro Matte Box VND Kit (MB-T17-A)

The Tilta Mirage Pro Matte Box VND Kit (MB-T17-A) is a professional clamp-on matte box system designed for cinema and high-end mirrorless camera rigs. It combines flare control, support for three 4×5.65-inch filters and a dedicated 114 mm variable ND filter in one modular setup. The system is designed to work with both cinema lenses and photographic lenses, making it useful for productions that need a flexible matte box capable of moving between different camera and lens configurations.

Three 4×5.65-inch filter stages

The Mirage Pro supports three 4×5.65-inch rectangular filters at the same time. This allows the operator to combine ND, diffusion, polarizing or other creative filters without changing the matte box. The filter trays use a quick-release design that speeds up filter changes on set, while the modular body can be configured for different shooting styles and support requirements.

114 mm variable ND with 1–7 stop range

The VND Kit includes a dedicated 114 mm variable ND filter covering approximately 1 to 7 stops of light reduction. This gives the operator continuous exposure control without swapping fixed-density filters. The VND can also be paired with a small wireless motor such as the Tilta Nucleus Nano II motor using the included motor adapter, allowing remote ND adjustment when the camera is mounted on a crane, Steadicam or other hard-to-reach support.

Compatible with cine and photographic lenses

The matte box can clamp directly to cinema lenses with front diameters of 95 mm, 110 mm, 114 mm and 134 mm. It can also be adapted to photographic lenses using 67 mm, 72 mm, 77 mm and 82 mm filter-thread adapters. This makes the Mirage Pro suitable for mixed lens packages and allows the same filtration setup to move between compact stills lenses and larger cinema optics.

15 mm LWS support and swing-away operation

The kit supports 15 mm LWS rods and includes hardware for rod-mounted operation. A swing-away adapter allows the matte box to move away from the front of the lens, making lens changes faster without removing the entire filtration system. Tilta also includes a rubber donut system for adapting the rear opening around different lenses and reducing unwanted stray light.

Carbon-fiber hood and flare control

The Mirage Pro uses a carbon-fiber hood and includes a top flag for controlling direct light and reducing unwanted flare. The hood uses a magnetic clip-on design that can be removed quickly when weight reduction is more important than maximum flare protection, which can be useful on gimbals or other weight-sensitive rigs. The matte box is built from carbon fiber, aluminium alloy and stainless steel.
