How to: Removable sunshade AKA: Nigshade

Ok guys today I was filming and I couldn't see the lcd screen and that caused me to get most of the rider out of the frame. So tonight I made a sunshade....

Materials:
Cardboard
Scissors
Tape
Velcro
Construction Paper (optional)
Glue Stick (only if you use the construction paper to make it look better)


Step 1. Cut a piece of cardboard the width of your screen by however long you want.
Step 2. Cut the velcro the width of your screen and apply on to the top of the lcd and bottom of cardboard.
Step 3. Cut an angled piece and tape it onto the left edge of the shade (to support it)
Step 4. Cut and glue on pieces of cardboard the size of the shade (optional)

If you did this correctly it should look something like this....

good idea tho. sell it to sony,
You can buy them already.

I can tell why you use the LCD on that camera... but anyone who uses an LCD on a camera where the eye piece moves up and down, you should never use the LCD.

Rapes the battery, and you get a more accurate shot with the eye piece. But yeah alot of smaller cameras have those shitty eye pieces so lcd is better.
