Our Lightest Matte Box
The Misfit Atom weighs just 195g with the shade attached, making it a minimal addition to the heft of your camera rig. This makes it a perfect choice for gimbal setups or handheld rigs: allowing operators to easily add filters without adding weight.
The shade can also be separated, reducing the weight down to just 98g and turning the Misfit Atom into an efficient filter holder.
2-Stage Versatilitye
As a 2-stage matte box, the Misfit Atom is a great tool for customising your camera’s visuals with space for any pair of filters at a time. Maintain consistent exposure with ND filters, create a unique look with some diffusion – or both at the same time. Capable of holding both 4” x 5.65” and 4” x 4” filters, the Misfit Atom allows you to blend form and function.
Wide Field-of-View
The Misfit Atom is built to maximise your field of view, even with large-format sensors and wide-angle lenses. Its thoughtful design ensures zero vignetting, giving you complete creative freedom. Whether you’re capturing expansive landscapes or dynamic action scenes, the Misfit Atom empowers you to shoot as wide as your vision demands.
This ultra-versatile matte box is a must-have tool for filmmakers who refuse to compromise on image quality, regardless of their lens choice.
Upgradeable Design
The Misfit Atom is designed to offer you the maximum level of versatility. The base unit features everything you need to get started, but you can supplement it with additional light-controlling accessories such as B1230.1009 – Carbon Fibre Top Flag (Misfit Atom). Other additions include 15mm LWS or 19mm Studio rod mounting brackets, and an Anti-Reflective Tilt Bracket to help manually control glare.
Lens Compatibility
The Misfit Atom is compatible with a broad range of lenses with an outer diameter as up to Ø114mm. Combine with our range of Clamp-On Rings to use smaller diameter lenses with the Misfit Atom with no light leaks. Swapping lenses is quick and easy, reducing downtime between takes.
For stills lenses and lenses that don’t have a clamp surface, use our Threaded Donut Rings which screw into filter threads from Ø67mm- Ø95mm.
Durable Design
Our products are built to last: there’s a reason that the Misfit Atom has been an industry mainstay for the past ten years. Made from anodised aluminium, stainless steel and elasto-polymer, all of the Misfit Atom’s components are chosen to optimise the strength-to-weight ratio.
