  • Which one is better? TRUSMT? Probably, plus carbon only that it is light.
  • hmm, that page works fine, it's clicking "items for sale" that I get issue. anyway, nothing to worry about probably
    @VK other sidenote: how important do you think is carbon fiber flags as a feature and do u think it's worth extra 50$?
    @VK topic title more suitable now?

    I've seen that video, I was about to pull the triger when they had bid now for 308$ +60 shipping, but I'm in no hurry so I can dwell longer on best deal. Also, their July discount is now over
    on their ebay page, whenever I click on items for sale it says : "The seller UserID you entered was not found."
    that's what I meant when I said sth is wrong

  • >If you want to choose only from TrusMT, Cinematics and LPT
    Do you know of other quality solutions in 350-500$ range? I'm open to suggestions
  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev
    damn you're fast:) I was about to remove some pictures but you beat me to it I think:)

    thanks for input on LPT, the info you provide is very useful. btw, I put LPT here too because I want to find best deal, and who knows, they might offer more attractive price than others. now it's same price but if, if it becomes 100$ cheaper than cinematics, I'd buy it to save doe, even if slightly worse. + it's good when bargaining to make sellers compete with each other.

    If you want to choose only from TrusMT, Cinematics and LPT, look only at TrusMT D100MB2 and Cinematics.
  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev
    1. I'll remove a couple of pics from 2nd MB
    2.Shouldn't the title contain "group buy" so we can look at actual numbers of people interested without diverting other threads?
    3. Personally, I don't really want words "choosing ideal mattebox" cause we're gonna get a load of input for matteboxes from cheap plastic 60$ one to shoot35 1000$. I am not interested in those, I'm interested in matteboxes ranging from 350$ to 500$ and the only quality ones I can find are these and trusMT which is slightly worse but cheaper but didn't post cause sth is wrong with their ebay profile.
    Since both are good, I am more concerned in who will offer the best deal to group than which is the slightly more ideal. If Cinematics is slightly better and more ideal than LPT, but LPT becomes 100$ cheaper, I'd choose the less expensive, and vice versa.
    4. I'm in no hurry, so yes, I'd rather wait to find best deal.
  • Thoughts about LPT.


    Filter stage is exactly similar.
    Holding frame is also very similar.
    Matte box itself in Cinematics is way better as it is from metal, flags have added velvet (+bottom flag added).

    I'll try to post detailed comparison of different matteboxes from UX designer viewpoint.
