It is... gobsmackingly amazing. I've had to ditch a couple of items from my EX1 kit bag to make room for it, but toting a Canon HV20 as a 'backup' camera won't bring as much value as the Hood-pro. Anyone who's not quite hit the mark on focus will find this a reassuring item. Suddenly I can pull focus on wide shots too. But the immediate benefit is unexpected. I'm getting a triangulation effect on holding the EX1 in quasi-shoulder mode. Battery on collar-bone, left hand under lens, and now right eye (well, brow and cheekbone) gently on the hood-pro and I feel the EX1 has stabilised in a way I've not known before. Anyway, I like it and I think you'll like it too. Okay, I’ve got my Hood-Pro…

I checked the price of buying 2 or 3 units, and the shipping price didn't scale nearly as well as I'd hoped (I have had lots of really bad experiences with UPS anyway). The recent price hikes have put lots of people off, so I don't want to wait for quorum whilst speculation circulates regarding a price drop over the coming weeks. Bascially, as my 4yo son would say, "I reeeeeeeealy want it NOW!" Sorry folks, I’ve selfishly gone out and bought one.
