Hood for RED touch 5.6"

[Ken O'Sullivan]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a hood for my RED Touch 5.6" LCD screen on my Epic.

Has anyone used the Marshall hood:

Most of us use the Hoodman hood. Best one out there!

Many thanks Chris, do you find it easy to get your fingers at the RED menus on the RED touch with that hood in place?

hoodmans are the best!!!!

I never have any issues...though if you have football player hands, it may be a tad difficult. You could always rock the side-handle to control the menus as opposed to using the touch functionality. You won't be disappointed with the Hoodman.

Thanks again Chris. I don't have a side handle, but probably not football player hands either !

A stylus works well

I have the Hoodman and it gets the job done but this seems to be a very good looking solution

We use this one from Cinetactics: http://www.cinetactics.com/-strse-36/Screen-Hoodie-Red-Touch/Detail.bok It works well and allows you to still have easy access to the touch screen. It also has buttons built into that line up with the buttons on the monitor. We also use the hoodman, but it can be quite frustrating because it makes it difficult to use the touch screen to control the camera.

i like the tilta one as it protects the screen and its mounted with screws and not just straps
