I’m using a lens shade on my Eclair NPR that will accommodate two filters. It would be nice if I had an actual rod-mounted matte box though.
Unlike an Arriflex or an Aaton, the NPR has a single rod socket on its body. I know a machinist, and I was thinking of asking him to make a matte box rod mount with one rod out the back (flattened to keep it from turning) and two rods out the front. I need measurements pertaining to standard matte boxes used on 16mm cameras (e.g. Chrosziel).
-
How far below the centreline of the lens are the centrelines of the support rods?
-
How far apart are the support rods (centre-to-centre)?
-
What is the diameter of a mini-rod?
