Hi-Aerial Hood (better than Hoodman) 50% off last day!

[stealle]

Hey fellow phantom pilot members! I've been looking at this hi-aerial hood for quite sometime. I've read some reviews. It sounds like people who have owned and used both the Hoodman and the Hi-Aerial prefer the Hi-Aerial. I've been holding off ordering because I'm not flying much in the winter and I didn't want to shell out $$ if possibly I need a different size come March when I plan to buy the much anticipated an iPad mini 5. However, I just checked the website and the Hi-Aerial Hood has been 50% off since Dec. 23! Sale ends tomorrow! At 50% off I decided to order one. I can use it with my current iPad Mini 2 and hopefully it will still fit the next gen iPad mini model. As a side note, the iPad Mini 2 works flawless with the DJI Go app but my kid doesn't always want to give it up... I need to get my own, he he.

I can not personally confirm whether the Hi-Aerial hood is better than the Hoodman, but the reviews look good. If nothing else guys, if you've been looking at the Hoodman but don't want to spend that much, this is a great time to jump on an alternative at a cheaper price! I'm getting mine for $45 free shipping, no tax. I'll try to post a review when I get mine and try it out.

Here is all the info I have about the Hi-Aerial Hood:
To place an order, visit the website to figure out what model you want: https://www.mikeharrisaerials.com/hi-aerial-.html . If you want to order, you need to send an email to the seller Mike Harris ( [email protected] ) and tell him what model you want and your paypal email address. He will in turn email you a paypal invoice for your order to make payment via paypal. I have sent him a few emails and he always personally responds.

EDIT: The prices on the website DO NOT reflect the sale; the prices were not changed to reflect the sale. You get 50% off whatever price you see on the website.

EDIT: EDIT: EDIT (Jan. 1st): Just FYI, forum members "Aeromirage" and "flyboy73" have been using their Hi-Aerial hoods for sometime now. They still love them and prefer them in their own side by side comparison/use over the Hoodman that so many people rave about. Read their reviews in the links above. I can't wait to get mine!

Hi-Aerial will custom make these hoods for any tablet. I spoke with Mike yesterday. As long as you get your email order to him by midnight (MST) tonight you are good to go!

THE SALE ENDS TONIGHT (January 1, 2017) AT MIDNIGHT (MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME)

I would prefer to invest in high quality goggles rather than buying a sun shade. but choice differs from member to member.

Just FYI, I just got another email from Mike Harris with more info. The sale ends at Midnight (MST) on January 1st. I wish I would have noticed this sale on December 23 so I could have given you guys an earlier heads up.

Mike is located in Canada but the product ships from NY, USA. So, it ships free in USA, but I think it must ship free to Canada as well. They seem to cater to Apple products, these products are ready to ship. But they will custom make a hood for Android as well. It takes about a month for custom orders. I believe they charge the same low price for custom orders. The product is made from some stiff material (maybe plastic) that appears to be covered in a vinyl or faux leather. There are magnets in various locations throughout the design that allow for quick assembly and hold it together very well. I very clever design. I'm sure some of you will be concerned about interference from the magnets. That should not be a concern. There are already lots of magnets located in the iPad itself. Also, other hood manufacturers such as those sold by aerialdroneaccessories.com use magnets in their design and have not had any problems. Anyway, Mike liked the product so much for his own personal and commercial use that he became a distributor. I can't wait to get mine!

looks like a ripoff of the hoodman design. Also a ripoff of my idea for using velcro to hold the tablet to the transmitter tray. Ha ha

You can call it whatever you want, but the people I have found that have actually used both prefer the Hi-Aerial as mentioned above in the review links I provided. Also in this link in the Inspire forums by member "AeroMirage" post #6 Hi-Aerial Hood (better than Hoodman) 50% off last day! and again today by member flyboy73 here post #2: Hi-Aerial Hood (better than Hoodman) 50% off last day!

BTW, congratulations on inventing Velcro! lol

No hurt butt here, Captain. I don't swing that way. It was a joke... as implied by "lol ". OK, I stand corrected. I'm sure they stole your idea of using Velcro. Nobody would have ever come up with that idea until you came along. You should sue them! lol (p.s. that means I'm joking again) Have a couple beers and try to enjoy the holiday!

Sorry I am not a drunk, maybe you could learn to read sarcasm, I also said ha ha so it must have been sarcasm ,that would be as close to your lol being a joke. Maybe you should go have a few drinks and exploit some women so you can lighten up a little, ha ha, that was sarcasm.
