The new Hoodman HoodCrane is a versatile tool that serves to keep the HoodLoupe on a 3” screen. Using the camera’s hot shoe as an anchor point, the HoodCrane locks onto the HoodLoupe for perfect hands-free viewing, then when the viewfinder needs to be used for shooting stills or just a less critical view of the LCD screen is needed, the HoodCrane just swings away. The HoodCrane is available now from Newpro UK priced at 89.99 pounds.

New from Newpro - Hoodcrane for the Hoodman 3” HoodLoupe

The HSLRM Cinema Strap was, and is intended to be a low cost method of keeping the big selling H-LPP3 3” HoodLoupe fixed onto a D-SLR body. It works and although it may not be the perfect product under certain working conditions it has and is a very worthwhile accessory for the HoodLoupe.

However, there is a strong demand for a more versatile and more accurate method of keeping the HoodLoupe on a 3” screen and here it is, the new Hoodman HoodCrane with a suggested price of £ 89.99 including VAT.

Using the camera’s hot shoe as an anchor point, the HoodCrane locks onto the HoodLoupe for perfect hands-free viewing, then when the viewfinder needs to be used for shooting stills or just a less critical view of the LCD screen is needed, the Hoodcrane just swings away. The Hoodcrane is fitted with a ‘cold-shoe’, so an accessory shoe is still available when using a DSLR and the HoodCrane.

The Hoodcrane is not just limited to use on DSLRs though, the increasing number of compact digital cameras that have a flash hotshoe mean it will also be useful for digiscopers taking their photos through spotting ‘scopes.

The Hoodcranes are available now from stock.
