Built with an uncompromising focus on structural modularity, durability, and optical safety, this lineup accommodates everything from ultra-compact mirrorless lenses to massive large-format cinema optics. Investing in the ARRI ecosystem gives production teams, owner-operators, and equipment rental houses a future-proof toolset that adapts flawlessly to evolving camera rigs, gimbal tracking profiles, and studio environments.

ARRI LMB 4x5: The Modular Workhorse

The fourth generation of ARRI's lightweight legacy, the LMB 4x5 is a highly adaptable matte box engineered for modern multi-stage setups. Capable of scaling from a featherlight, single-filter clamp ring format up to an advanced 3-stage or 4-filter configuration with tilt and swing-away functionality, it serves as the ultimate daily production workhorse. It supports the standard 4x4" and 4x5.65" panavision filter dimensions, pairing seamlessly with lens diameters from 62mm up to 143mm.

ARRI LMB 6x6: Unrestricted Large-Format Coverage

Engineered to bring the modular versatility of the 4x5 system to massive cine optics, the LMB 6x6 is the definitive solution for large-format sensors and anamorphic cinema lenses. Designed around expansive 6.6 x 6.6" square filters, it prevents vignetting even when using extreme wide-angle focal lengths. This heavy-duty system accommodates outer lens diameters up to 165mm, effortlessly sliding out of the way via quick-release rod mounts to streamline lens swaps on set.

ARRI MMB-2: Compact and Agile

For solo owner-operators, documentary filmmakers, and gimbal technicians who require professional filtration without a bulky studio footprint, the Mini Matte Box MMB-2 provides a streamlined alternative. Supporting up to two drop-in filters (4x4", 4x5.65", or 4.5" round variants), the MMB-2 mounts directly as a native clamp-on or connects via 15mm lightweight rod supports (LWS). Its simplified, lightweight structure maintains ARRI's signature light-tight ceiling while optimizing mobility on fast-paced sets.
