O-Box WM

Famed support maker builds a better Mattebox

Top cinematographers understand the advantages of high-end
professional glass filters both for in-camera effects and practical
exposure issues. Its about control and that’s why they also
understand the benefits of effective light management and flare
control that can only be done with a high-end mattebox system
including flags and wings. OConnor has painstakingly come up with a
solution to intuitively handle filters, and allow configuration freedom to
meet just about any shooting situation.

Wide and Mini in one

The OConnor O-Box WM is a two-stage mattebox designed around
the 16:9 format full-size sensor. A wide-angle system, it
accommodates lenses up to 18mm (and in some cases wider).

15mm Studio and 19mm Studio Solution

OConnor offers an easy 2-part solution to adapt the mattebox to
either 15mm or 19mm studio rods. The LWS bracket that comes with
the mattebox is simply removed via 2 Allen screws (3mm Allen / Hex
key) and the unit is then replaced with either part #C1243-1118 for
Studio 19mm rods or #C1243-1119 for the offset Studio 15mm rods.
The OConnor adapter then interfaces with the O-Grips' 3-standard rod
bridge #C1244-1002 for studio-based rod support. This solution
provides a total of 6 mounting points for O-Grips, while saving
valuable rod space.

Meeting industry expectations & beyond

In true OConnor fashion, the O-Box system delivers the
expected and more. This precision mechanical device adeptly
accepts up to three filters: two in top-loading filter frames (two
4x4" and two 4x5.65" frames are included). The rear frame is
rotatable 360 degrees. A third 138mm round filter sleekly fits in
the optional bellows ring.

Constructed of OConnor’s proprietary rugged composite, the
sunshade is lightweight yet substantially stronger and more
impact resistant than existing units. This translates to fewer
sunshade replacements arising from the rigors of professional
production environments.

Get a Grip on your Mattebox

The O-Box is the first commercially produced mattebox to have
integrated handgrip interfaces. While traditionally operators
have used the sunshade as a handle, this precarious handling
is remedied by OConnor’s O-Grips that can be conveniently
attached directly to the O-Box support cage in three locations:
camera left, right or bottom center. The bottom center position is
particularly useful for small setups such as HDSLR cameras
when the O-Grips turn into a pistol-style grip for the operator’s
right hand while the follow focus handwheel is in their left.
