I want to get two hoods for canon eos lenses, one flower and one normal.

They're obviously just pieces of plastic but I heard of one with a quick-release, does this exist? I can't seem to find it online.
If I can't conveniently find one I'm just going to get the normal screw-on ones.

Lmk if you have seen one of these

Canon eos hoods are expensive as fuck. Why do you need a quick release?

I would just rather have a quick release than a screw on, simply preference.
Like I said it's not that big a deal, so if they are over-priced or don't exist I have no problems getting a screw on B)
And I probably won't buy canon-made ones anyway, they are 3+ times the price of others.

Still looking for answers

U.S, but amazon has more than enough cheap copy screw-ons, I've already favorite'd a couple in case I can't find what I'm looking for ;)

doesn't really matter how weak it is, it just goes on the lens...i still don't see how you may have broken it

I do weddings. People more around a lot in weddings. Other accidents can happen. A strong hood may in fact save your lens.
