Sony Mirrorless Camera Lcd Sun Hood Shade

[4096 x 2160] Let me start by saying there is a lot to like about this monitor. The Elvid 7 has become my new favorite on-camera monitor. I swap it back and forth between my RED and my XT3. The build quality is on par with other monitors in this category. It's lightweight but also feels pretty solid. It can take Sony or Canon batteries. I only use the Sony since you get more battery time. It comes with a cold shoe mount, back plates, mini hdmi to hdmi cable, power source and one of my favorite things, the sun hood. This sun hood sets up in seconds and works great. I've had my fair share of sun hoods and this is by far my favorite. It snaps right on and off and works great. The monitor has HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs. It has waveform, histogram, vectorscope, false color, focus peaking zebras, pretty much the expected tools you would want in an on-camera monitor. The menus work fast and are super simple to get through quickly. I have not tried the built in LUTS or user LUTS but it's nice to know that the option is available. I often use this in conjunction with the 5 inch RED monitor and it's nice to be able to have a REC.709 preview while the other monitor is log. This thing is pretty bright on it's own in broad daylight but tossing the sun hood on makes it perfect for outdoor run and gun shooting. In those scenarios this has completely replaced my RED monitor and to be honest I can see this replacing my 5 inch monitor altogether. The image is more crisp, viewing angles seem better and it's brighter. I really like the freeze frame option and the fact that I can have an sdi in and send an hdmi out to another monitor. The zoom function also works way faster than the default RED punch in. It's also an HDR monitor which I look forward to testing out this mode more. I am very pleased with this monitor, I wish I had one for each camera. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

[Bayonet] great lens protection and sun shade

[3.5" / 8.89 cm] Works very well for Sony mirrorless camera

[0.115 lb] Makes attaching the Sun Shade Fast and Easy.

[11 x 1/4"-20] This is my first Wooden Camera product. The sun shade is well constructed, light weight , fits just right on my 7 camera mounted monitor. The two elastic straps holds the sun shade securely on the monitor and does not interfere with the buttons on the top edge of the monitor. When not in use, the sun shade folds flat and is easily stored.

[Intel C612] Very convenient to shade the camera from direct sun light during long exposure shooting. Can also attach all sorts of objects. However, I'd recommend mounting the shade on another tripod or stand as it is very prone to vibrating under strong winds when shooting outside.

[Bluetooth] I purchased this to shield my video camera from direct sun to make it easier to see the LCD, It was less expensive that a regular rain umbrella. Though I haven't used it as a reflector, I'm sure it works well for that too.

[0.3 lb] I put it on backwards as an LCD hood. Works great.
