Top and side flags / clamps
The Ace Matte Box allows top and side flags to be installed and adjusted as required. The top
flag clamp is located on top of the sunshade, between the two accessory bars. The side flag
clamps are located on the left-hand and right-hand side of the sunshade.
Accessory bars
Two accessory bars allow a variety of products, such as lights or microphones to be attached to
the sunshade. Each accessory bar comprises two 1/4" 20 UNC threaded inserts. The accessory
bars are located on top of the sunshade, one each side of the top flag clamp.
Filter stages
Two filter stages, one fixed and one that rotates, accommodate two filter frames. The filter
stages are located between the sunshade and rear clamping interface.
Filter frames
Two filter frames accommodate two different sized filters (4" x 4" and 4" x 5.65"). The filter stages
are located between the sunshade and rear clamping interface.
Filter frame release buttons
Two filter frame release buttons, one for the front filter stage and one for the rear filter stage,
when pressed, allow the filter frames to be inserted or removed from the filter stage housing. The
filter frame release buttons are located on the left-hand side of the filter stages (operators view
looking forward).
Rear clamping interface
The rear clamping interface allows a reduction ring to be fitted, to accommodate a range of lens
diameters.
Rod bridge
The rod bridge allows the Ace Matte Box to be mounted to the Ace Base Plate. The rod bridge
can be installed in two positions, depending on the lens diameter used.
Ace Matte Box mounting
The Ace Matte Box is mounted directly onto the support rods that are installed on the Ace Base
Plate. The rod bridge, that is attached to the Ace Matte Box is pushed onto the support rods until
the camera lens is seated inside the recess of the rear clamping interface.
Accessories
To provide further shade from the sunlight, the Ace Matte Box is supplied with two neoprene
rings that flex over the camera lens. When the camera is in position, the neoprene ring can be
moved along the lens to meet with the rear clamping interface. 

The Ace Matte Box is also supplied with a 3 mm Allen key, to enable assembly and disassembly
of the rod bridge.
