Misfit Atom Tilt Kit

Description

A production powerhouse for a decade, the Misfit Atom matte box is the go-to choice for camera builds of any size. This Tilt Kit pairs the Misfit Atom with a dedicated Anti-Reflective Filter (ARF) Tilt Bracket, to remove any internal reflections from light sources entering your frame.

Easily clipped onto lenses with Ø114mm outer diameters – or stepped-down via our range of Clamp-On Rings or Threaded Donut Rings – the Atom is as versatile as it is lightweight.

Made from durable materials such as anodised aluminium, elasto-polymer and stainless steel; the Misfit Atom is guaranteed to last even the longest of careers.

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 Atom into an efficient filter holder.

Fixed 6-Degree Tilt for Glare-Free Shots

The Anti-Reflective Filter (ARF) Tilt Bracket is designed with a fixed 6-degree tilt, optimised to minimise glare caused by internal reflections. This feature is particularly effective when shooting with light sources directed towards the camera, ensuring your visuals remain clean and distraction-free.
With a simple two-screw installation, the ARF Tilt Bracket is both easy to set up and highly effective, offering a no-fuss solution for improved image quality.

2-Stage Versatility: Customise Your Visuals

The Misfit Atom’s 2-stage matte box design provides unmatched flexibility, accommodating any combination of two filters simultaneously. Whether you’re maintaining consistent exposure with ND filters, adding a distinct visual style with diffusion, or combining both, this matte box adapts to your creative needs. Compatible with 4” x 5.65” and 4” x 4” filters, the Misfit Atom blends form and function for seamless customisation.

Wide Field-of-View: No Compromise

Designed to maximise your creative scope, the Misfit Atom ensures a wide field of view, even with large-format sensors and wide-angle lenses. Its meticulous construction eliminates vignetting, giving you the freedom to capture expansive landscapes, immersive action scenes, or anything in between.
This ultra-versatile matte box is the ideal choice for filmmakers who demand uncompromising image quality, no matter the lens or shooting environment.

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.
