Best fifty bucks I've spent in decades
Posted by Francis Zera / zeraphoto.com on 28th Mar 2012
I got two Lenskirts about a year ago and have traveled around the planet with them. They pack down to nearly nothing, and have allowed me to make awesome photos and timelapses from hotel rooms, etc., that would have otherwise been impossible due to glare and reflections. Just get one, or two - you won't regret it.

Great idea, awesome product, needs to be larger
Posted by Brian Korosec on 27th Jan 2012
This is a great product for shooting through glass. I do find however the open end that attaches to the glass needs to be wider to accommodate for angled shooting, and wide angle shots. I usually end up extending one side with gaffers to accommodate shooing not straight on. With a 16mm or wider the skit appears in the frame on a full frame camera.

Lenskirt, where have you been all my life?
Posted by Troy Paiva on 19th Jul 2011
I used a borrowed Lenskirt to shoot into the windows of an abandoned mortician's parlor in Bodie Califonia, and it worked perfectly. Easy to use, no reflections, no fuss no muss.
I love how it folds up so small and weighs nothing. Why someone didn't invent this handy gadget 50 years ago, I'll never know.

I love the lenskirt!
Posted by Bill Rook on 3rd Feb 2011
I raise salt water fish and coral and have always struggled getting pictures with my camera through the aquarium glass. I've tried many different ways to get good pictures ranging from towels to blocking out all lights in the room. I just received my lenskirt and have been using it with my Canon G11. WOW! What a difference! I am amazed at how easy this is to setup. It blocks absolutely all reflections! I must admit I was skeptical before ordering but now that I have one, I cannot recommend it enough. I rarely leave reviews but the lenskirt is certainly worthy! Thank you for the wonderful product!

An ABSOLUTE Must!!!
Posted by Cristina Valdivieso on 23rd Jan 2011
I have been using the Lenskirt with my 5d and 7d for timelapses through glass and what a difference! It use to take me 30 minutes to tape enough black shirts and gaffers tape to the hotel window so I could eliminate all the refections and now it just takes seconds. Pure awesomeness.
Thanks Lenskirt :)

Essential purchase
Posted by Philip Bloom on 21st Jan 2011
I have shot loads of timelapses through windows. SO many have been lost due to reflections.This solves the issue. It's awesome. Must buy!

No more ruined timelapses!
Posted by James on 21st Jan 2011
I have ruined so many timelapses because of reflections from the window I was shooting through. Even if you think you have thought of all reflection sources, it never fails that you over look something. With the LenSkirt I no longer have to worry about any reflections, just put it on and timelapse away!
The suctions cups work great, and I can even fold the LenSkirt flat to fit into my Canon backpack!

Works exacly how you would expect
Posted by Tom on 13th Jan 2011
I have used the Lenskirt with my Canon 5dmk2 camera to shoot timelapses out windows in hotel rooms.
The Lenskirt blocks out all light from the room, thanks to a tight seal around the lens using fabric and a drawstring. The built in suction cups hold to the window even with temperature changes.
I have also used the Lenskirt to shoot live video out of car/bus windows with excellent results.
I recommend the Lenskirt because it works and it is much easier to use than black fabric and gaffers tape!
Worth the $50 for clean, reflection free video. Even when timelpasing out of a busy room with lights turning on and off!
