I'm actually a bit surprised that there is not something like this available on the market already.

That's what I was thinking, it's closer then I thought. Thanks for that link

Yes Optrel e684 already has automatic shade adjustment. Best TIG welding helmet in market, especially for aluminum.

Meanwhile it's still 90% operator, 10% equiptment. Buy a cheap fixed shade hood and go burn rod, wire, whatever is your preference. No hood makes an expert out of novice. You can't buy experience and PRACTICE.
