BobMoore 0 #1 May 17, 2010 I recently purchased a CX100 and Opteka 0.3 lens along with a Liquid Flatlock mount. Now I am thinking I should buy one of those Cookie Composites boxes to protect everything. Does anybody have this combination and can tell me that the Opteka 0.3 lens will actually fit that box, or would I have to do some cutting with a Dremel tool?

willh 0 #2 May 17, 2010 I don't think you need a box; but you will need to ensure the screen doesn't open. I use a small strap with a 1/2 buckle.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jadera 0 #3 May 17, 2010 i have such combination (without flatlock) and opteka fits perfectly (although it's little bigger than the blackbox on the righ and on top - if you are looking from the front). so, no need to drill anything.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sky490 0 #5 May 18, 2010 I make an all ABS box thet requires no bolting the camera in. The Camera fits with no side play. The lens area uses the standard 30 to 37 step ring and if you are jumping a large diameter wide angle lens you can get an optional lens hood shown in this photo. There is a OD groove which the Box closes over holding the lens and hood secure. FYI my hood will aslo fit the Cookie Box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
