Dropped - my fault, a clamp not completely fastened - from less than 1mt on the gravel in a trail. I still don't understand the details: it happened in a flash and when I looked down I just saw the two pieces.
Curiously, the only signs of the impact are on the hood (that was mounted in the extended position). No signs on the other parts, camera included. It seems that it broke in two pieces just because of the torque provoked by the shock in the hood. In a plastic mount that was keeping the two parts together, fastened by screws, the plastic all around the screws broke.
I still hope it can be repaired, because the two pieces have no apparent damage and no piece of glass was scratched.
