SmallRig Screen Hood Sun Hood Sunshade for Sony Alpha 7 IV / A7S III / A7C / A7CR / A7C II/ZV-E1 / ZV-E10 / ZV-1F / ZV-1 II/ZV-1 / FX3 Camera - 3206

When I went to Texas to photograph the eclipse this spring I had a lot of trouble seeing the LCD screen on the back of my Olympus OM-1. Someone next to me had one of these little buggers and it really worked to cut down on the glare, making it easier to frame the sun. A few weeks ago I was trying to shoot a waterfall in full sunlight using a 10-stop ND filter and had the same problem. So I decided to get one of these to see how it works.It works fantastically well. It is also simple to put on and take off your rear screen. Finally it fits all of my Olympus cameras, both the E-M1 Mark III and the OM-1, both Mark I and Mark II. Worth every penny of its reasonable price.

I use this on a Sony FX30 which doesn't have a viewfinder. It slides onto the LCD screen easily and folds up small in my bag. It works well when the LCD is large enough to see the image I want to capture and there is not too much glare from all directions. It's easier than bolting on an external monitor. There are situations where I need to use an LCD magnifier hood instead.

It works OK in outdoor sunny environment, but in extreme bright sun it cannot block reflection on your display screen (I doubt any compact hood will). Still, it is a good value for the price.

Should be 1/4 inch wider for most Song camcorder screens. It does fit, but less then pro.

Perfect fit , good quality

Excelente calidad! Lo recomiendo mucho

I use mine on every single wedding i shoot. It works great at blocking the sun and also keeping guests from trying to hover over my shoulder to see what i'm shooting. It slips on and off in 1 second. Very convenient

Once again, SmallRig provides a useful accessory for my Sony A7Cii.Shooting in bright sunlight, it isn't always practal to utilize the standard viewfinder as opposed to the larger screen. (My bifocals make it difficult to see correctly if I don't remove them). Enter the Small Rig sunhood. Made of a sturdy leather, it quickly folds into shape and is secured over your screen by a velcro attachment. A nearly perfect fit - more on that in a moment, it provides ample shade for you to compose your picture. When not needed it folds flat to easily store with your other gear until called upon.But again there are tradeoffs. While it does fit well, it also requires that you have the screen open as it isn't thin enough to allow you to close the flap. And the attachment is loose enough to slide off if your not paying attention. You'll almost want an anchor to attach it to your camera to prevent droping it.Verdict - when it works, it's a good option. But it may be easier to just open and angle the screen to offset any glare or just use the standard viewfinder.
