Streamlined Filtration Meets Cinematic Versatility
The Tilta Mirage VND Kit revolutionizes matte box functionality for modern video creators. Built for flexibility, the Mirage combines rugged durability with a featherlight build, making it a powerhouse for everything from full-size camera rigs to compact gimbal and drone setups. Its 95mm clamp-on system allows for fast, secure attachment to a wide range of lenses—whether you're running ARRI Ultra Primes or adapting to DSLR and mirrorless glass. With Mirage, you can pack lighter, move faster, and shoot smarter without sacrificing professional-level control.
Variable ND on Your Terms
Lighting conditions change fast, and Mirage gives you the tools to keep pace. Its integrated Variable ND module delivers smooth, precise adjustments from ND 0.3 to ND 2.7, helping you maintain consistent exposure no matter the environment. A larger rotational axis between filter elements ensures accurate control, and thanks to built-in hard stops, you’ll avoid the dreaded X-pattern cross-shadowing. There’s zero color shift—even at max density—so you can trust what you see in-camera. For even more precision, the geared mechanism can be motorized and remotely adjusted with Tilta's Nucleus wireless follow focus systems, perfect for drones or high-speed tracking shots.
Aerodynamic & Purpose-Built
From the studio to the street, Mirage is engineered for performance. Its matte box body features integrated airflow vents that minimize drag and improve balance when you’re shooting on the move—ideal for vehicle rigs, aerial shots, or dynamic handheld work. The included rigid lens hood and top flag offer added protection and glare control, shielding your frame from overhead flares and unwanted light leaks. Every detail, down to the way components snap into place, has been refined for real-world functionality and fast on-set adjustments.
Modular to Match Your Vision
One of Mirage’s biggest strengths is its versatility. The system’s modular design allows you to customize your build to fit the needs of each shoot. Need a minimal rig? Run just the 95mm circular filter and lens clamp. Building out for a heavy filter load? Add the included top flag, attach the optional 4 x 5.65" stackable tray, or mount the matte box to a 15mm LWS rod support to take pressure off your lens. Each element is designed for seamless integration and tool-less adjustments, making it easy to reconfigure your rig mid-shoot. Mirage adapts as quickly as your ideas evolve.
Smarter Circular Filters
Mirage supports Tilta’s innovative 95mm circular filter system, which drastically reduces weight without compromising image quality. These filters weigh just a quarter of traditional 4 x 5.65" glass filters, making them ideal for mobile shooting or gimbal work. Instead of screw-on threads, Tilta's cartridge-style filter inserts pop in and out with a single press—speeding up workflow and reducing downtime. From ND and polarizers to specialty effects like streaks, starburst, or pro mist, the system supports an expanding library of creative filters that help elevate your visual storytelling with cinematic character and consistency.
