A lens hood system designed to accommodate one or more lens filters via one or more recesses. The lens filters may be inserted through various access points, including front, back, or side openings, and can be secured using methods such as threading, snap-fit tabs, or sliding mechanisms. The lens hood may be equipped with movable frame portions allowing for roll, pitch, and yaw rotations of the filters, independently or collectively, to optimize filter alignment. Additionally, the inner surfaces of the lens hood may be non-reflective or feature designs to minimize unwanted light reflections, enhancing image quality.

A plurality of outward-facing cameras, arranged in nodal clusters surrounding and mounted to the top plate of a plate structure, with the plate structure having an elevated platform for an additional upward-facing camera. The nodal clusters and the configuration of clusters on the top plate enable overlaps in coverage between clusters and more informationally dense coverage within each cluster.
