      Frequently Asked Questions

      Yes, you can use a Schneider Unmounted True-Pol. The Rota Tray is not compatible with Tiffen unmounted filters due to the different diameter of the glass.

      We also offer the Rota Tray in 6.6x6.6 size. For matte boxes with no filter tray, check out our 138mm Pola+ Circular Polarizer.

      Tilta uses a non-standard tray width in the T04 matte box. Their T12 matte box does follow standards so it is compatible.
