Sun Hood & ND Filter compatibility/conflict?

[jasonbrooks]

Hi folks,

I want to buy a sun hood to help guard against excessive lens flares, as well as offer as much protection as possible to the camera/gimbal during landing/take-off. I am considering this package that comes with landing-gear extensions, for what seems like a good price.

From the pictures though, it looks like the hood sits very close to the front of the camera. I'm using Nisi ND filters that push onto the front of the camera, making it slightly longer and wider (probably less than 1mm all around).

Is anyone running this combo already? Anyone have any thoughts on whether I would be able to use both the hood and the NDs simultaneously without fear of them conflicting physically?

Any/all input much appreciated. Cheers!

Please note that there are some Sunhoods on the market that are junk and will actually come into view when filming. I've never used a sunhood. I do use the landing gear legs when flying in high grass
