The LENSKIRT is a portable, flexible hood which you attach to the end of your camera lens. The LENSKIRT allows you to shoot pictures and video through glass without internal environmental reflections such as people movement, room lights, camera flashes, light leak from under a door, etc showing up on footage.
The LENSKIRT seems reasonably prices, totally portable and easy to use. Simply attach the four corners of the LENSKIRT to a clean glass surface via the heavy duty suction cups. Setup your camera and insert the lens through the flexible opening. Tighten the enclosure and you are ready to shoot.
What do you think? Cool idea or waste of money? What other ways might you eliminate reflections when filming through glass? How have you dealt with this issue in the past or what might you do in the future? Have you ever shot time-lapse video? When might you use that?

The Lenskirt is something that is not absolutely needed i think, but it could come in handy. Say you really need that shot with no reflection and the shot it underwater. What are you going to do? Buy an underwater camera? Im pretty sure the Lenskirt costs a lot less and is a lot less of a hassle. For other way to eliminate reflections you can turn off all access light. Im not sure if that'll work but that always a possibly. I think that if someone is really into this job and type of profession then it wouldn’t be a costly thing to buy compared to how much all the cameras and the rest of the equipment costs.
I like the lens skirt. I like nature photography but i can't go out into the ocean to take pictures of fish one of my friends has a huge aquarium with colorful pretty fish this would definetly come in handy so it's not reflective and you can't see me and my camera in the glass. I think this would be better for photography because you have to suction cup it to the glass so it wouldn't be very portable for video unless you just want a still shot and don't expect to be moving it in the shot. Overall i like the product and if you do alot of photography or video through glass it would definetly come in handy.
