Leer hoe u de juiste adapterring of filterlade voor uw NiSi C5 Matte Box kiest op basis van de schroefdraadmaat van uw lens en uw opnamestijl.
Quick answer
Choose a screw-in adaptor ring that matches your lens's front filter thread (82mm or 72mm), or a clamp-on adaptor if you use cinema lenses with a 95mm or 80mm barrel diameter.
Screw-in vs. clamp-on: what changes
Screw-in adaptor rings (82mm or 72mm) attach directly to your lens's filter thread. They are lightweight, secure, and add minimal length to the front of your lens. The trade-off is that you need a specific ring for each lens thread size you own.
A clamp-on adaptor like the NiSi Cinema 95-80mm Clamp On Adaptor grips the outside of the lens barrel. This is ideal for cinema lenses that lack filter threads or for quick swaps between lenses with similar barrel diameters. The clamp adds a little more bulk but no threading is required.
Filter tray for square filters
If you plan to use 4x4" or 100x100mm filters (2mm or 4mm thick), you need the NiSi Cinema 4x4" or 100x100mm Filter Tray. This tray slots into the C5 matte box and holds the filter securely. It does not replace the adaptor ring — you still need a ring or clamp to attach the matte box to your lens.
How to choose your adaptor ring or tray
- Check your lens thread size: Look at the front of your lens for the Ø symbol followed by a number (e.g., Ø82mm or Ø72mm). That number tells you which screw-in adaptor ring to buy. If your lens has no visible thread marking, measure the inner diameter of the front ring with a caliper.
- Match the ring to your thread: Select the NiSi Cinema 82mm Adaptor Ring for an 82mm thread, or the 72mm version for a 72mm thread. Both are aluminum and designed specifically for the C5 matte box.
- Consider a clamp-on for cinema lenses: If your lens has a 95mm or 80mm barrel diameter and no filter thread, use the NiSi Cinema 95-80mm Clamp On Adaptor. It grips the barrel securely and works with the C5 matte box. The clamp-on also fits other 95mm clamp matte boxes, giving you flexibility across different rigs.
- Add a filter tray for square filters: If you need to use 4x4" or 100x100mm filters, add the NiSi Cinema 4x4" or 100x100mm Filter Tray. Remember that you still need an adaptor ring or clamp to mount the matte box to the lens. The tray accepts filters up to 4mm thick, so check your filter's thickness before buying.

Which option fits your setup?
Best for
- Photographers and videographers with a single lens thread size (82mm or 72mm) who want a simple, secure connection.
- Cinema lens users who need a quick, thread-free mount and work with 95mm or 80mm barrel diameters.
Not for
- Lenses with a filter thread smaller than 72mm — you will need a step-up ring before the adaptor.
- Users who only want to use square filters without a matte box — the tray alone does not attach to the lens.
