Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Curious why you prefer this to the Elvid? Not sure which to buy? (I have a Canon 5D Mark iii and iv)

A: Both the Hoodman HoodLoupe Outdoor LCD Viewfinder for 3.2- Screens and the Elvid OptiView 50 3.2" LCD Viewfinder, BH #HOH32MB, would be appropriate for a Canon 5D Mark III and 5D Mark IV. Both vary slightly, though the Hoodman has a locking latch system to prevent the detachable piece from accidentally falling off.

Q: 2. Is this sufficiently helpful to see the screen of a Canon 5DS since the view finder is blocked when shooting video?

A: Yes, the Hoodman HoodLoupe Outdoor LCD Viewfinder for 3.2" Screens is helpful when shooting video on the Canon 5DS. It prevents glare and offers you a clearer, more detailed view of the screen.

Q: 3. I have the older CH32. Is this one optically better, and does it collapse?

A: It is a solid structure with Improved optics and the Hoodloupe separates at the midpoint for storage and using different size bases..

Q: 4. I read a review by Lisa that stated the Hoodman Hoodloupe did not attach well to her Canon 5D Mark IV. Will the Hoodman Hoodloupe fit well with my 5D Mark IV?

A: Yes, the Hoodloupe fits well on the 5d4. There are some accessories that help with holding it in place. Click the link below to view; https://bhpho.to/2A4tpoN

A: The Dotworkz 4K Optically Pure Vandal Tough Clear Lens for D-Series Camera Housings is made from a hardened nylon material and polycarbonate.

Q: 6. will this fit a canon 1dx?

A: The H32MB is for a 3.2 screen which is what the Canon 1Dx is.

A: Yes it will!

[3.2 oz / 91 g] The handle works really well. 5

robert	27/08/2024
[3.2 oz / 91 g] I bought the Ikelite to use as a handgrip on a Pixii A2572 for added grip and it works just great. They are good on cameras that do not get wet. 5

Samantha	18/08/2024
[3.2 oz / 91 g] WOW, I was rigging so much to this to make the system neutral. Why bother when Ikelite came up with this amazing yet simple design and incorporating the use of an item I woudl already have in my scuba kit...scuba weights!!! 5

[0.445 lb] This add on grip holds securely with #M adhesive backing. This is a second purchase for use on another camera. Great product! 5

Steven J.	14/08/2024
[3.2 oz / 91 g] About 2lbs compensates for the buoyancy of the Full Size Dome Port with the Z 14-24mm S lens and I would not want to do without it. Just being able to grab a weight on the boat when I am getting my gear together really makes this an ergonomic solution that works everywhere I have been. The strong elastic strap allows use of a synched up soft weight or a traditional hard weight. The soft rubber knob threads right into the tray and makes trim arm adjustments simple. It's really the only safe way to compensate for the volume of the dome. I have seen ankle weights around the extensions and lead attached to the shade ... but that puts the strain on the DL connection points. Not where the load is designed to go! Bottom line: Quick, Easy, Seamless, and it does not risk floods like something attached to the port system. 5

[3.2 oz / 91 g] Not much to say about a housing tray. Dual handles for dual strobes. Solid construction keeping everything secure both in the water and out. 5
