Master Your View in Any Light
Unpredictable lighting is the enemy of the perfect shot. Glare, reflections, and wandering eyes can compromise your focus and ruin a take. The SmallHD 18" Sunhood for the Cine 18 monitor is your first line of defense against the elements. Engineered specifically for the professional filmmaker, this essential accessory creates a controlled viewing environment, shielding your screen from harsh sunlight and stray ambient light. By eliminating distracting glare, you can finally trust what you see on screen. Pull critical focus with confidence, judge color and exposure with pinpoint accuracy, and ensure your creative vision translates flawlessly from set to post-production. This isn't just about making the screen visible; it's about making it perfectly reliable.
Crafted for the rigors of on-the-go production, this sunhood is both rugged and remarkably portable. Constructed from high-quality, durable nylon over a rigid frame, it’s built to withstand the daily grind of a busy film set. The smart design features a secure and simple attachment system, allowing you to mount or remove it in seconds—no tools required. When the day is done, it folds down into a compact size, easily fitting into your camera bag or accessory case without adding unnecessary bulk. It’s the perfect blend of robust protection and lightweight convenience, designed to keep pace with your dynamic workflow.
Adaptability is key on set, and the SmallHD Sunhood delivers unparalleled flexibility. With its innovative snap-based system, you can instantly convert the hood from a standard 3-sided shade to a fully enclosed 4-sided viewing tunnel. Use the 3-sided configuration for quick access and collaboration, allowing a director or client to easily glance at the frame. When you need maximum immersion, complete privacy for a focus puller, or are battling extreme overhead light, the 4-sided setup provides a private cinematic experience, isolating your view from all external distractions. This dual-functionality ensures you have the right tool for any shooting scenario, making it an indispensable part of your professional toolkit.
