PrimeLight Design has announced the new VoxBox Pro MK3. It builds on over six years of field-proven heritage on sets for Netflix, the BBC, and The New York Times, and the MK3 version is a total re-engineering of the original system.
The MK3 isn’t just an update; it is a complete re-imagining of the VoxBox system based on real-world feedback from cinematographers worldwide.
- No Tech Failures: It uses a precision optical mirror system—no power, no apps, and no “AI eye contact” artefacts.
- Wider & Faster: Now supports lenses down to 28mm and sets up tool-free in under two minutes.
- Built for Modern Rigs: Specifically redesigned to clear the Sony FX6 top handle and include integrated 4×4 & 4×5.65″ filter trays.
- British Engineering: Designed and manufactured in the UK.
Direct-to-lens eyeline remains one of the most effective ways to create genuine audience engagement. The VoxBox Pro MK3 enables this naturally and reliably through a precision optical mirror system, and it requires no power, electronics, AI, or additional cameras.
Developed from extensive real-world feedback, the VoxBox Pro MK3 introduces significant mechanical and workflow improvements while retaining the simplicity that has made it so popular.
At its core is a high-grade beamsplitter glass and mirror arrangement that folds the subject’s line of sight directly into the camera lens. The subject maintains a natural face-to-face conversation with the interviewer, while the camera records perfect down-the-lens eye contact.
Key upgrades include:
- Wider Cinematic Perspectives: A redesigned optical path now supports lenses down to 28mm (tested on Full Frame sensors), allowing DPs to capture more environmental context without vignetting.
- Seamless Rigging & Compatibility: The new housing solves the common clearance issues, specifically accommodating the Sony FX6 top handle and providing better clearance for longer support rods.
- Integrated Filtration: For the first time, the unit features an integrated dual-size filter tray supporting standard 4×4″ and 4×5.65″ PV filters, allowing for ND or diffusion to be added directly at the lens plane.
- Instant Teleprompting: The MK3 includes a tablet holder that clips on instantly, converting the unit into a professional prompter capable of supporting devices up to the 13-inch iPad Pro.
Constructed from a precision carbon-infused polymer, the MK3 is built for the rigours of professional travel. It ships in a custom-designed IP67-rated hard case with high-density foam, ensuring the precision beamsplitter glass and secondary mirrors remain protected during transit.
Designed to fit into any workflow, the MK3 attaches to standard 15mm rails in under two minutes without tools. For lightweight setups or solo operators, the unit features a 3/8″threaded hole and a 16mm adaptor for mounting directly to a light stand. With four possible interviewer positions, the system remains usable in cramped offices or awkward locations where traditional interviewing is impossible.
