CLIP ON MATTE BOX SOLUTION FOR ROTATING ANAMORPHIC LENSES.
The Orbital is a system to enable the use of a clip on Matte Box on older anamorphic primes and vintage zooms where the front rotates and telescopes during focusing.
HOW IT WORKS.
The patented technology uses high precision bearings to eliminate problems that previously made using a clip on matte box impossible. The main radial bearing mounts to the front of the lens and works in conjunction with a greaseless linear bearing to hold the front straight whilst the lens rotates and telescopes.
SIMPLE AND FAST...
The Orbital is a simple retrofit that clamps directly onto the lens. No need to send the lens in to be modified... It's quick and easy enough for anyone to install.
The front diameter varies from lens to lens but is always made to work with a standard Arri back.
The bearing has a fully opaque shield to prevent and light from leaking through the bearing and creating reflections or back lit filters.
TODD AO - NIPPON SCOPE - LOMO RF - HAWK C-SERIES
Each system is slightly different depending on the lens design. Where needed, lens support functionality is built in and new Delrin gears can be provided. The Lomo round front 50, 75 and 100mm has new markings and a wider gear already incorporated, removing the need for a wide gear on the motor.
We currently systems already designed for the below but please get in touch if you have a lens that needs a system. We can look at custom solutions.
