Questions & Answers▲
Which monitor sizes is the Hoodman HD-300 compatible with?
The HD-300 is designed for camera monitors and viewfinders with a screen diagonal of 2.5 to 3 inches in 16:9 format. The interior opening measures 66 mm wide by 42 mm tall, so any monitor within those dimensions should fit correctly.
How is the sun hood attached to the monitor?
It is secured using two elastic rubber bands that are sewn directly onto the hood. The bands can be adjusted via integrated hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing a snug and stable fit on different monitor housings.
Will the elastic bands leave marks or residue on the monitor?
No. The elastic bands hold the hood in place without adhesives or clamps, so they can be removed at any time without leaving any residue on the monitor surface.
What material is the Hoodman HD-300 made of?
The hood is constructed from durable nylon stretched over a rigid plastic frame. This combination provides structural stability while keeping the overall weight low.
Is the sun hood water-resistant?
Yes. The nylon material used in the HD-300 is water-resistant, offering a degree of protection against light rain or moisture during outdoor shoots.
Can the hood be folded for transport?
Yes. The HD-300 folds flat when not in use, making it easy to store in a camera bag or jacket pocket. This makes it well suited for run-and-gun or compact travel setups.
What are the exact dimensions of the hood?
The interior dimensions are 66 mm wide, 42 mm tall, and 68 mm deep. The exterior dimensions are 71 mm wide, 46 mm tall, and 68 mm deep. The diagonal of the opening measures 78 mm.
Does the hood work in portrait orientation as well?
The HD-300 is specifically designed for monitors in 16:9 landscape format. Its rectangular opening is optimized for that aspect ratio, so it is not intended for portrait-oriented screens.
How much depth does the hood add to the monitor?
The hood extends 68 mm in front of the monitor surface. This depth is sufficient to effectively shield the screen from direct sunlight and bright ambient light.
Is the HD-300 suitable for use on a camera rig or follow-focus system?
Since the hood attaches exclusively via elastic bands around the monitor body, it does not require a separate mounting rail or rod system. It can be used on any setup as long as the monitor itself is accessible for the bands to wrap around.
Can the elastic bands be replaced if they wear out?
The bands are sewn onto the hood, so they are not individually replaceable as a user-serviceable part. However, because they are made of elastic rubber and adjusted with hook-and-loop fasteners, they are built for repeated use under normal field conditions.
