Sony AX53 Step Up lens adapter for larger filters and Lens Hood 

Sony AX53 Step-Up lens adapter to enable the fitment of Lens Hood & Variable Filters
Finding the best Sony FDR-AX53 lens hood suitable for your needs isnt easy. With hundreds of choices can distract you. Knowing whats bad and whats good can be something of a minefield
Tulip lens hoods are for wide angle lenses like the AX53
If you use a standard hood while recording, the image stabilization picks up the sides of the hood while it is stabilizing the lens in the recorded image.The trick here is to use a larger sun hood. To do this you will need a STEP-UP lens adapter from the 55mm to size of the hood that you wish to fit.
How I have done mine you don’t have to worry about darkening of the corners (Vignetting).
