Tilta Top Flag for Tilta Mirage Pro Matte Box

The Tilta MB-T17-TSF Top Flag is a carbon-fibre flag for the Mirage Pro matte box. Its side wings are angled out by 55°, so it shades a wider angle than a flat panel, and it mounts on 1/4″–20 threads with locating pins — no tools, and in the same position every time. The flag can be opened out or folded down depending on where the light comes from. It is part of both the MB-T17 and MB-T17-A kits and is also sold separately as a spare.

The Top Flag for the Tilta Mirage Pro Matte Box is a removable carbon-fibre flag that cuts light falling onto the front element from above. Unlike an ordinary flat panel it has side wings angled out by 55°, so it covers a considerably wider angle.

Side wings angled out by 55°

The flag is more than a panel: it has two side wings angled out by 55° that open as far as you need. That shades light arriving obliquely from the front as well, which a flat flag cannot handle. The whole thing is carbon fibre, so the rig barely feels it.

Mounts without tools, always the same way

It attaches on 1/4″–20 threads with locating pins, so the flag seats in the same position every time and needs no eyeballing. It comes off without tools; when you leave it off, the free threads on top of the matte box remain for a monitor, a transmitter or a mount.

What it pairs with

Alongside the top flag Tilta also makes a left (MB-T17-LSF), a right (MB-T17-RSF) and a bottom flag (MB-T17-BSF). Together they shade light from all four sides.
