As you may know I am beginning to get into aerial video. Currently just using a GoPro and we've discovered an issue that at certain angles facing into the sun the propellers cast shadows onto the lens and create some weird interlaced shadowing.

As you can see in this video at 5:30 http://youtu.be/j6BFXcZcgoM?t=5m29s

Anybody know of a good GoPro mattebox that's really light?

that above seemed a bit rude.. not my intent..
I see lots of gopro matte box options, basically any matte box, but your use is so specific..
it has to be super light, super rigid (cant flop or move in the wind) but also adjustable.. plus the gopro is so wide that it has to be pretty low profile.. tough to find something like that..

I don't know what the name of the rig/follow focus matte box system is, but this could give you some ideas.

Not to worry, I am not easily offended (especially on the internet!).

This is just the issue, it is so specific that I thought I would ask around first anyway.

Something like this might work for a multi copter.

Looks like would be inexpensive to make.

Looks ok, homemade, though that isn't out of the question

The GoPro is super wide angle to, so I'd want to test to make sure it works before I bought anything
