VND Matte Box Face-Off: SmallRig Star-Trail vs Tilta Mirage

With both models in-house, it's time for the VND Matte Box Face-Off: SmallRig Star-Trail vs Tilta Mirage

While building a kit around my BMPCC 6K, I decided to try the SmallRig Star-Trail Modular VND Matte Box Kit 3645 out. I was unable to find much info prior to the purchase, so I thought I'd put together a quick hands-on video with the kit.

The SmallRig has its positives, but there were enough immediately evident negatives that I decided to quick order the Tilta Mirage VND Kit and compare them side by side. This is the result of that analysis.
