Overview

We built the industry’s lightest matte box system to alleviate the excess weight of today’s camera gear. This system’s completely tool-less Variable Neutral Density configuration allows you to adapt to any lighting change at a moment’s notice without swapping filters. We took durability to a new level in this design, building aluminum frames into each filter so you are confident using it in extreme conditions without the worry of fingerprints or scuffs during handling. From scaling El Capitan to flying heavy lifts above Denali this minimalist matte box is constructed for adventurous run-and-gun filmmakers like you.

All kits include a full set of Clamp Rings.
Filters include built-in frames for easy and fast handling.

The Industry’s Lightest 1-3 Stage Matte Box System

Our completely tool-less Variable Neutral Density configuration allows you to adapt to any lighting change at a moment’s notice without swapping filters. We took durability to a new level in this design, building aluminum frames into each filter so you are confident using it in all conditions. The BaseCamp ecosystem offers a huge array of second and third stage filters, ranging from VNDs, Mist Diffusion, Morphic Streak, NDs, and Graduated NDs.

Renan Ozturk and Taylor Rees have built a career challenging the elements to capture epic footage of rarely seen places. Several of those excursions have involved a BaseCamp, the point in their journey which exemplifies taking things to the next level.

Universal Compatibility

BaseCamp features multiple mounting options allowing it to seamlessly work with any lens/filming setup from threaded lenses to 114mm cine lenses. No Vignetting Down To 16mm Focal Lengths.

Industry Leading Glass

All BaseCamp filters feature CinemaSeries™ glass that resolves the largest video sensors with perfect color accuracy and pristine optics.

FAQ

What's the difference between the BaseCamp and Summit systems?

BaseCamp is designed for cinema and video applications, while Summit focuses on professional photography such as landscape and long exposure work.

Does BaseCamp allow me to use Diffusion, Streak, and VND filters all at the same time?

No. All VND filters (hybrid and traditional) rely on the BaseCamp CP to work. The BlueMorphic and GoldMorphic filters would take the place of the CP, so they are not compatible with the VNDs simultaneously.

Can I use the BaseCamp Gradient Filters in the standard Core?

No, our Gradient filters (ND4-GR & ND8-GR) are too large for the Core. They require the Stage 3 Adapter for use.

Will I be able to use the Diffusion Filters simultaneously with the VND configuration?

Yes! You can either use one of our Mist VNDs, or use the Stage 3 Adapter to install the Mist or Mist Heavy filter in front of the standard BaseCamp VNDs.

Can I use BaseCamp with wide-angle lenses like my Nikon 14-24mm?

BaseCamp is compatible with wide angle lenses that have threaded filter mounts or have an outer diameter compatible with one of our clamp rings sizes. The Nikon 14-24mm does not have filter threads so it won't work with BaseCamp.
