I recently discovered that the opening of the slot on the bottom of the Tilta Matte Box is about the same size as a cold shoe.
Hence one can do this with it(should one? Who knows?):

They have this deal on this same Misfit several times now. I got one of them and it was flimsy. I returned it within 2 weeks of use. Now a days, there are better and cheaper options from Wooden, Tilta and SmallRig. They're just as light and like the Misfit, have 2 stage filters and can be clipped on. I like the Tilta but will be also getting the SmallRig once it is available.

I had wondered why I was able to get a SmallRig Mini Matte Box for Mirrorless DSLR Cameras Fits 52mm-86mm Lens - 3196 for an offer of only $57.00 USD on eBay (seller newbegindj) during Black Friday. I guess they needed to blow them out to make way for a new Matte box with big ears:

SmallRig Mini Matte Box Pro 3680 $139.00 sale $118.90
Expected release date is 20th Jan 2022

https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-mini- ... %3D.XED5g8

Unfortunately, both of them only work up to 82mm, unless you spend $34.90 or more on a 3383 SmallRig Matte Box Adapter Ring Kit for Mini Matte Box (52/55/58/62/86-95mm).
