Review on Umbrella Hat - Colorful Party Hats - 20 Inch, Hands Free, Funny Rainbow Colorful Beach Party Hats by Roger Sanders

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great protection for Blink XT2 outdoor cameras

I understand that the way I'm using these umbrella hats is not the way they were intended to be used, but of the 4 Blink XT2 cameras I have, 2 are protected by porch roofs, and 2 are out in the open. The 2 that are out in the open are subject to rain mucking up the lenses, so I got these little doo-dads to help protect them. They fit perfectly on the thicker part of the vinyl fence posts where the cameras are mounted. They look cool and are functional and cheap. They work best on the camera that's pointed straight ahead. On the one where the camera is almost at a 90 degree angle, I had to improvise a bit to keep the umbrella from getting in the way of the wide angle camera lens. But with a little angling and tweaking I was able to get the protection I wanted with little to no blocking of the lens. I'm very satisfied. And if/when I need to replace them I still have 2 more waiting in the wings.

Pros
  • Price Their FUN!!
Cons
  • May require readjusting throughout the day to stay in place
