One main key difference between the Misfit and the Misfit Kick is the updated Reveal System that Bright Tangerine is using.īright Tangerine has redesigned the reveal stage mechanism so it is a lot more robust and easier to use. The whole idea with the Misfit Kick was to build a matte box that took the best elements of the original Misfit and improved on them. You may be wondering why Bright Tangerine would release a new version of an existing matte box? If it ain’t broke why fix it? While there is nothing wrong with the original Misfit, there are always ways where a company can improve an existing product. What is the difference between the Misfit Kick & the Misfit? Image copyright Newsshooter The original Misfit after The Misfits, the VIV after Vivienne Westwood who many regards as the mother of punk and so on. The Strummer DNA matte box is named after The Clash’s lead singer Joe Strummer. The Misfit Kick is not the first Bright Tangerine matte box to have name ties to the group. It attaches to the Misfit Kick via a quick-release mechanism and can also be secured as a bottom flag.īright Tangerine certainly has a strong appreciation of the British Punk group The Clash. The top flag is made of true carbon fiber and has variable side wings. The 4 x 5.65″ filter trays are made of aluminium and have a spring-loaded locking clasp. These filters may not be needed all the time compared to an ND and diffusion/FX filter that may stay loaded for a whole shoot, so having the ability to drop in a third filter when needed is always handy. So when you don’t need to use three filters, you gain the extra coverage without having to spend time removing the third stage, it simply collapses into the core.Īnother reason why you may want to have 3-stages is to use a diopter or Rota Pola. All you need is a third filter tray.Ī 2-stage matte box will always have a wider field of view compared to a 3-stage, as a third stage will push the shade further out from the lens. The main component of the Misfit Kick matte box is the Core, which features Bright Tangerine’s patented Reveal Stage, which allows for tool-free conversion between a 2-stage and 3-stage.
