And more good news for those interested in picking up a new production monitor, Atomos have extended their FREE sunhood offer to December 15th 2017; and not only that, but the offer now includes the new Sumo19M monitor-only version of the Sumo19. The original offer extended only to the Sumo19 (which also features Raw and compressed recording options), and was until November 10th.
The Atomos Sumo19/Sumo19M sunhood is a fully collapsible zipper design that securely attaches to the front bezel of the Sumo body via 1/4-20 screws.
This design allows the collapsed hood to double up as a screen protector for safe transportation. The Sumo19/Sumo19M sunhood reduces the effect of reflections onset improving your HDR experience and viewing environment, with a durable outer fabric and a soft velvet inner, making it a must for onset monitoring.
