Famous within the drone community for their first-class drone landing pads, Hoodman USA has been creating innovative, useful tools to support professional image makers since 1986, including camera accessories, viewfinders and monitor hoods, drone and mapping accessories, and memory cards and readers.

For more than 37 years, engaging with customers at ten annual trade shows has been the driving force behind product development.

Hoodman thrives on innovation and creating new markets. As the first card manufacturer to offer a memory card recycling program, Hoodman continues to develop “green” products and remains committed to aiding humanity and the environment by developing innovative tools that solve problems and make life easier and balanced for all.

Along with the rest of the drone community they are gearing up and will be converging on San Diego, California for the 2024 UAVSI Exponential starting Tuesday, April 23 through Thursday April 25.

Earlier this year Hoodman tied neck and neck with Colorado Drone Chargers in the 2023 Droning Awards for the “Best Drone Accessory” award.

Say’s Hoodman’s CEO Lou Schmidt: “Hoodman is one of the first companies to create innovative, useful drone accessories. We are happy to be the first and only firm to give you a choice of 5 pro drone landing pad sizes to fit your specific drone size. Hoodman is the originator of Orange, rugged, weighted perimeter drone landing pads that do not require stakes to keep them in place. We made the first hoods for drone pilots needing to see iPads glare-free outdoors. Also first with magnetic mount hoods and controller sling straps for DJI RC controllers, Hoodman made the first tripod mounts for drone controllers to have a hands-free workstation. We created a drone belt that holds your controller and goes wherever you go. Hoodman made the first rugged orange ground control point kits for aerial mapping. The Sky Ruler is another first scaling constraint to verify scale in aerial mapping. Drone flight zone tape was created to clearly mark your drone flight ground operating zone and keep the public safely out of harm’s way.
