MATTE BOX

The ultra-compact hood and flag can transform Recon into a compact and powerful matte box system. Utilizing a quick-release lever, the hood can be deployed or stowed away instantly.

ADD STAGE
2 FILTERS

Revolutionizing the way filters are handled, Recon's filter design allows for wicked-fast filter swaps without ever worrying about laying a finger on the glass.

Two Base Platforms

BASE 1 PLATFORM

VND 3-6+ [CORE]

The 82mm VND 3-6+ filter can be thought of as the “core” of the Recon system. Featuring 3-6 Stops with haptic feedback for focal lengths at or below 35mm. Recon can also be pushed to 7.5 Stops at focal lengths above 35mm.

THREAD BASE

Recon can be utilized without the VND3-6+ Filter in this configuration. The 82mm Thread Base acts as a mounting point for Stage 2 Filters, as well as the Hood + Flag for an ultra-minimal matte box setup.
