Questions & Answers▲
Which devices is the Hoodman HAV1 compatible with?
The HAV1 is compatible with all generations of the iPad mini, including iPad mini 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. It also fits several Samsung Galaxy Tab models in the 8-inch range, LG G Pad variants including the G Pad X 8.3, and the NVIDIA Shield. For any device not listed, compare your tablet dimensions with the internal hood dimensions of 184 mm wide, 123 mm tall, and 140 mm deep.
What are the exact dimensions of the Hoodman HAV1?
The outer dimensions are 195 mm wide, 133 mm tall, and 140 mm deep. The internal dimensions, which are relevant for device fit, are 184 mm wide, 123 mm tall, and 140 mm deep. The manufacturer specifies the outer dimensions as 7.5 by 5.18 by 5.5 inches.
Can I still operate my tablet while it is inside the sun hood?
Yes. The hood has an opening at the bottom that allows full access to the tablet for normal operation, including touch input and connecting cables, without needing to remove the device.
What is the purpose of the Hoodman HAV1E extension?
The HAV1E is an optional extension accessory that attaches to the HAV1 to increase the depth of the hood. The greater depth provides significantly more shading of the display, which is especially useful in direct sunlight or very bright outdoor environments.
Does the HAV1E extension come included with the HAV1?
No, the HAV1E extension is sold separately. The HAV1 sun hood itself does not include the extension in the box.
Is the Hoodman HAV1 suitable for outdoor professional use?
Yes. The hood is designed to reduce glare and improve display readability in bright ambient light, making it practical for outdoor work. For demanding outdoor conditions with very strong sunlight, using the optional HAV1E extension is recommended to maximize shading.
How do I know if my non-listed tablet fits inside the HAV1?
Compare your tablet's physical dimensions with the internal dimensions of the hood: 184 mm in width, 123 mm in height, and 140 mm in depth. If your device fits within these measurements, it should be compatible. This is the most reliable method for devices not explicitly listed in the compatibility specifications.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 compatible with the HAV1?
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 is listed as a compatible device. Additional compatible Samsung models include the Galaxy Tab A 8.0, Galaxy Tab S2 NOOK 8.0, Galaxy Note 8.0, and Galaxy Tab 4 8.0.
Which LG tablets are confirmed to work with the HAV1?
The confirmed compatible LG models are the G Pad II 8.0, G Pad F 8.0, and G Pad X 8.3. The slightly larger screen size of the G Pad X 8.3 still falls within the compatible internal dimensions of the hood.
Does the sun hood affect the tablet display in any way?
The hood does not alter the display itself. It physically shields the screen from incoming light at the sides and top, which reduces reflections and glare on the screen surface. This makes the image appear clearer and easier to read without changing brightness or color settings on the device.
Is the NVIDIA Shield tablet compatible with the HAV1?
Yes, the NVIDIA Shield is listed among the compatible devices for the HAV1.
Can the HAV1 be used with a tablet in a protective case?
Whether a cased tablet fits depends on the case adding to the overall dimensions. The usable internal width is 184 mm and the internal height is 123 mm. If the tablet with its case remains within these measurements, it can still be used with the hood. Slim cases are generally more likely to remain within the required dimensions than bulkier protective cases.
