Sime, I’m a keen amateur astrophotographer and the ‘thinktank’ laptop cover seems like the perfect answer to what is an absolute sin at star-parties and astro-photo get-togethers – uncontrolled white light from laptops. Often we resort to placing our laptops in a black square recycle bucket placed on its side to control light, but they are hardly portable. Other than where there are openings for cables, etc., can you shed any ‘light’ on whether the material used by the think tank will leek light?

Cheers Steve

Doubles as a handy portaloo, that other ‘out shooting’ issue!

Why so critical Bozo? This is a simple and innovative product that I suspect many field photogs will get real benefit from. You can’t “change angles” to negate the effects of sun on a computer screen. Try it sometime.

This is actually nice. But it all depends on your need. Spurging for this gadget is not good either.

There isn’t actually, Bozo…. I experienced this first hand at the Redbull Air race – not room to move, no way to turn around – all the internet connectivity for the press photographers was all in one place… elbow to elbow – all (most) of them had hoods of some type.

This device is certainly for a specific crowd – If you’re not that crowd, then no worries Turn to the side…

Well, there is always possibility of changing angles for those of us that don’t have a money to throw away for every fancy (useless) junk someone is trying to sell.
