I just received my Hoodman (HM) today and it was nice and Sunny today and wanted to test it Out .  I lOVE IT.  I am thrilled with this product, I have tried some of the Non -Glare film that you place over the I-pad screen but still was not pleased with the glare.  I bought the 2 Part system that gives a full immersion  experience.  I bought some high end Zeis Cinemizers for about 700 dollars and the Hoodman beats it by a mile . Another part about the HM I like is it has an extra strap on the back for safety, it keeps your I-pad steady and safe when it is mounted  .    This is a high end piece of equipment too, they make stuff for Hollywood film industry and the NFL .  The owner of the Company took my order On a Saturday and was a real Cool guy as well.  If you do order anything mention my name as well , I dont get anything out of it, Just wanted him to know there were alot of Good Pilots on the DJI forums and to please take care of them.  Also want to thank Forum member GQ for pointing me in the direction of the HOODMAN product.  I am really pleased that I can now fly with FULL SUN . There are several different models of Hoodman to choose from , mine was about 120.00 for the I pad Air model with shipping.  Some are more but most were less.     HOODMANUSA.COM   I know i sound like a commercial but the product really works  and I get a little amped up about good products !  

BE SURE TO LOOK AT PICS BELOW !

How do you use the touch screen with that hood? It's kind of awkward to reach into the hood to use the touch screen while you are flying.

Waiting for my HAV2E to cross the pond,

Cool product. I am also curious about its weight.

I think it is fairly light weight, I normally sit down when I fly with It because I push my head right into the "Face Mask" .  It is just awesome in sunny conditions.  For those who wear glasses this is ideal.

Unfortunately in Canada you could only use this for camera on a two operator scenario or TC would call it FPV and illegal lol.  Looks great though!!

I promise you you will love it, You cant fly in the daytime with out it.  The only bad part is On hot days, you are breathing in the "Mask" and gets a little Hot, not that bad though.

If you get one let me know what you think

Did you order one ???

If you do, do me a favor, tell them Donnie sent You.

Mind You I get NOTHING  for this but I did  tell the owner about our Forum and I was going to give an honest review or their  product.  This way in the future if  our members have an idea for a product, we can have a recognized organization that he knows will reach a large audience .  ( Do you get me )  

Even if you just purchased the HAV2 I think you would be happy, the HAV2E  makes it really Immersive . It comes as a two piece kit or separate.

I actually sit down when I fly like that so I dont get dis oriented when I come out of the dark on a bright sunny day.  If and when you buy it you will know what I mean.

The bottom line is this is a great product, you purchase when you feel ready.
