Review: Hood-Pro Sock-loupe

$80 turns your PMW-EX1’s LCD into a big, beautiful viewfinder.

Lots of people have said, “if only there were a viewfinder lens I could mount on the PMW-EX1‘s LCD, I’d be happy.” Palm Desert shooter Mike Stevens not only said it, he did it: his Hood-Pro hood is a strap-on LCD hood, and the Sock-loupe is, well, a sock with a +7 diopter loupe sewn into the toe. Pull the sock over the hood, and hey presto! You’ve turned the LCD into an eye-level EVF, arguably better than the one on the EX3. The floppy sock squishes up against your face, whether or not you wear glasses, providing a good seal against extraneous light, while the two-element lens provides a close-up, detailed view of the LCD.
