About matte box hire

Hire matte boxes in Melbourne to control flare and hold filtration in front of your lens. A matte box keeps stray light off the front element for cleaner contrast, and gives you trays for the filters that shape your image — from ND grads to diffusion.

Frequently asked questions

Will a matte box fit my lens?

Matte boxes mount either by clamping to the lens or by rail-mounting in front of it, with adapters to suit different front diameters. Tell us your lenses and we'll include the right matte box and adapter rings, plus any filters you need.

How do I hire gear from Offshoot Rentals?

Add the gear you need to a quote, choose your hire dates, and we'll show you live availability. You'll need a free Offshoot account to generate and lock in a quote. For more information, see our help articles or contact us.

Is hired equipment insured?

You are responsible for the gear while it's in your care, so we recommend production or hirer's insurance for the replacement value of the kit. If you're unsure what cover you need for a particular package, get in touch and we'll talk it through before your shoot.

Do you offer weekend rates?

Yes. A weekend hire (collected Friday afternoon and returned Monday morning) is charged as a single day, so you get the weekend's shooting for one day's rate.

Can you deliver, or is it pickup only?

Pickup from our Preston facility is the default and is free. We can also arrange delivery and courier options — ask us for a delivery quote.
