Hoodman HMVKIT Live View Kit DSLR Sun Shade

The Hoodman HMVKIT Live View Kit is purpose-built for photographers and videographers who need to see their DSLR's rear LCD clearly when shooting outdoors in bright conditions. At the heart of the kit is the HoodLoupe — an optical viewing module with superior glass optics that magnifies and shades the live view image simultaneously. A +/- 3 diopter adjustment lets you dial in the focus to suit your eyesight, eliminating the need for reading glasses and ensuring a sharp, comfortable view of your composition and focus points.

The kit ships with two LCD screen bases — one for 3-inch screens and one for 3.2-inch screens — so it fits virtually any DSLR body on the market. The milled black anodized aluminum base plate mounts securely and provides a precise platform for the loupe assembly. Beyond glare elimination, the kit improves handheld stability: pressing the loupe against your eye creates a third contact point with the camera (alongside your two hands), reducing shake during video recording or slow-shutter still photography. For anyone who regularly shoots live view in daylight, the HMVKIT turns an often-frustrating experience into a controlled, professional one.
