Journal Entry for Wednesday, May 15th

Hoodman Cinema Kit Pro Because I take a lot of pictures out in the desert on bright sunny days, I often have trouble seeing the image on my camera’s 3-inch rear viewing screen, making it difficult to compose and focus shots. I recently found and purchased a product that effectively resolves this problem; the HoodLoupe 3.0 with a 3x Magnifying Eyecup and Hoodcrane. The HoodLoupe has a 1 to 1 Magnification +/- 3 Diopter Adjustment and  is designed to fit over a 3 inch LCD viewing screen, effectively blocking out any glare from from the sun or other unwanted sources. The hypoallergenic silicon rubber 3x Magnifying Eyecup slides over the HoodLoupe, further sealing out ambient light. It can rotate to accommodate either right or left eyed shooters. The HoodCrane attaches to the universal hot shoe mount and is designed to hold the HoodLoupe in place, yet swing up and pivot out of the way for shared LCD viewing or still shooting.
