All the XDCAM overcranking you want…
Three updates give our Hoodman RAW SxSxSDHC adapters all the overcranking you want. Hoodman’s RAW SxSxSDHC alternative memory adapters for Sony EX SxS applications have new controller technology that allow unlimited overcranking. Hoodman’s RAW SDHC 32 GB, speed class 10, SDHC memory cards can be used in the new SxSxSDHC adapter for overcrank all day long. And Sony’s new Firmware upgrade for XDCAM is the third element for unlimited overcranking.

Cinema Kit Pro by Hoodman
Hoodman adds a smart hot shoe mount for those using the HoodLoupe 3.0 during DSLR video recording. The new mount is called the HoodCrane. HoodCrane is available with the Cinema Kit Pro which includes our HoodLoupe 3.0, HoodMAG — a new magnifying video eyecup for the Hood-Loupe 3.0, and the HoodCrane. If you already have the HoodLoupe 3.0 you can pick up the HoodCrane and HoodMAG separately.
HoodCrane swings up and pivots out of the way for shared LCD viewing or still shooting. Hood-Crane and the Cinema Kit Pro will begin shipping in early May 2010.
Frame relief for photographers who wear glasses
It is a tiresome story for sports/action/wildlife photographers… glasses on, glasses off…adjust the diopter in the camera to correct for your shooting eye prescription, but then your tracking eye can’t see. Look up from your camera and your shooting eye can’t see.
Hoodman Titanium PhotoFrames are glasses built for photographers. Each lens moves independently so that you can move lens up for shooting eye and leave lens down for tracking eye. Titanium memory wire technology makes PhotoFrames strong and durable. Comfortable wrap around ear pieces ensure PhotoFrames ride securely with photographers through action sequences. PhotoFrames come with clear glass templates installed to guide your Optometrist’s efforts for easy fitting of your prescription lenses.
Hoodman Titanium PhotoFrames are available at your photo dealer @ $199.99.
