Hoodman cinema kit Pro

Expanding into DSLR video shooting, I realized that focusing on “live view” can be very tricky. Accurately focusing using a 3-inch monitor is problematic. I found the solution to that in the “Hoodman cinema kit pro“.

Today’s technology, allows pro photographers to produce high-quality videos, with the equipment they already have, and feel comfortable using.
The attachments that will transform your DSLR into a movie-making machine are many, and choosing the right product was not easy.
While searching, I found that many of the magnifying viewfinders required gluing an attachment to the camera’s body. I don’t like gluing things to my camera, These glues have a tendency to soften in hot weather and leave a sticky residue.
Another solution offered is a fancy rubber band, It may be the cheapest solution but it didn’t feel very solid and may get in the way.

What first attracted me to the Hoodman cinema kit Pro was the concept. It’s a solid rail system that’s attached to your camera’s hot-shoe and allows you to accurately place the rubberized viewfinder over the LCD panel, in seconds. Focusing the viewfinder on the screen took a slight rotation of the eye-piece. As soon as you’ve aligned the viewfinder, You’re free to move it up and out of the way, and then back in place, It’s consistent, fast and easy.

This kit can be moved to another camera as fast as you can move a Speedlight flash from one camera to another. It took about 5 seconds to remove from the package, and about 30 seconds to set-up and master!

I really appreciate solidly build, modular equipment, not to mention great German optics, It looks like this unit will serve me for a long time.
