Excellent product well above my expectations

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

I was hesitant to purchase this product. It was kind of suspicious that nobody rated it and it is somewhat monstrous looking on the Amazon website. But once I got it, I instantly realized that it is exactly what I needed.

1. Solid, robust worksmanship. It cannot match the Cannon "L" type worksmanship, but I did not expect it from this relatively cheap product. I have no complaints.

2. I love the crane part of this assembly. It is build in a very intuitive way, I did not need to read instructions to adjust the position of viewfinder in relations to my camera's screen. It does not look nearly as ugly, strange and awkward as I was imagining. It has two pleasant surprises: a) it has flip release to lift the Loupe viewfinder, so it is possible to use the viewfinder to adjust the depth, then to flip the assembly up and watch the LED screen during video shooting to make sure that the red dot is there. Once you need to use the Loupe viewfinder again, just flip back down and you can use the Loupe again. b) there is hot shoe mount on top of the crane!!! So, I am able to put my LED video lighting or microphone on top of the crane!!! Very pleasant surprise.

3. Magnifying eyecup is very handy and easily adjusted.

Two thumbs up for this product!

Works as advertised

Does everything well, as advertised. Just looks very dorky and Rube Goldberg and seems to be all plastic, not sure. The cameras LCD screen is almost useless for checking the quality of you images without a magnifier like this. Shooting video is next to useless without it. I had stopped trying. Something like this is the only to know if you are really in focus, plus the eye cup resting against your cheek steadies the camera. If you have a little more to spend, there is another version I have seen that mounts via a plate to the tripod mount on the bottom. I think it is milled aluminum. It does not look so dorky either but is more expensive. No idea if it works as well or convenient as this easy "Swing up" hood.

Works like a charm.

Holds onto my Canon 60D no problem and really helps with critical focus while running and gunning. I thought this thing was going to be quite a bit more flimsy, but, thankfully it's built solid.

If I had to point out any flaws, I'd list two:

1.)That eyecup is a bit uncomfortable. A soft padded one would be nicer.
2.)On my copy, the little pull-down lever that allows the cup to pop up so you can see the LCD is stiff and really doesn't work. Not a big deal, this thing's a snap to take on and off.

I was ok... while it lasted.

My Hoodman Loupe just broke -- I had it for less than a year (bought it last May for a shoot) and had been using it semi-regularly since (about once or twice a month for several days at a time during shoots. About me -- I shoot music videos and short films on my DSLR. I am exceptionally careful with all of my equipment.

Pro: It doesn't require permanent adhesive attachments to your camera, which is why I bought it.

Cons: Poorly made, the quality of the plastic and rubber is terrible. The screws come undone frequently. One of the small plastic parts broke off completely -- the part that attaches the loupe to the crane that attaches to the camera.

Overall, I'm disappointed. Not worth the money. If you're going to buy something for regular use, get a higher quality product.

It ain't pretty, but it's awesome!

I am a professional event videographer and I couldn't do my job without this little baby (or something better). It's lightweight, it works as described, the hood man stays in place perfectly, the crane allows quick flip-up access to the screen, it's well built. I film about 75 events a year in all sorts of conditions and this is an essential part of my gear bag.

I LOVE this thing, it's very helpful, especially when shooting video on my Canon DSLR. If you haven't gotten one before because it was $189, now is a good time since it's almost half of that.

Essential for video use. Seems flimsy but isn't when in use.

Seemed flimsy and the lens is poor quality - HOWEVER once installed, which took a few seconds, it worked great and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Using on Nikon D90 for both video and stills now for professional images used on various web sites and blogs. Essential for video use.

Works as discribed. Expensive, for this price Cinema Strap should be included (HSLRM $19.99) for use when Hood Crain is not needed. Great web sight ( hoodmanusa.com ).

Best thing since sliced bread. It does all of what they said it would do and it stays put on the camera. I use it 80% of the time. Everything is so clear. I noticed that they just brought out a new version that connects to the tripod mount. Either way, I think it's a great product at a reasonable price.
