Can somebody identify this GoPro lens hood?

keoniahlo · Jan 30, 2017

Looking to identify this updated Gopro holder--this one is shown on thingsverse, but the 3d file is different from the clip in this photo. I like the way the yellow clip has been cut to follow the gimbal lines like the original did. Please help me ID this clip. Much appreciated!

[Edited to remove request for hood--Bilge informed me that it's in the weight box! LOL]

Oh man. Have you ever felt like the dumbest person in the world? I do...right now. I never opened the box because the gimbal instructions said "no weights needed for Hero 4" so I never opened the box! Woohoo, I have a hood now! LOL! Thanks, Bilge, you made my day. I'll edit the original post now. And thanks for the Relish tip--it's similar, but not the same as the one in the photo. Thanks again!

Now that you found the hood, throw it away- it's useless.
Get some ND filters as they will improve your video dramatically.

I got the Polar Pro 6 pak on Amazon a while ago for $99. Worth every penny even though I don't use every filter all the time.

Haha, I know what you mean, I have that set too. But the new GoPro firmware 5.0 allows us to control ISO and shutter speed for video, which is what I primarily plan to shoot with my Solo. But I do have the filters in case the situation calls for it. Which GoPro are you using now? I just updated to firmware 5.0, so I'm going to play with that this weekend. I'll probably use my CPL when necessary, especially surf shots.

Ah- keep forgetting about that. I have the H4S with ver. 3.
