Hey guys, i was at a shoot some days ago where there was a tv logic portable monitor. It had a sun hood, and i thought i could make one of my own, for the cheap 10" hdmi monitor recommended by vitaliy.
My Question is: Does anyone have an idea, which material best to make the sides of? The tv logic ones have something like nylon-wrapped cardboard/plastic on the sides and top. thanks :)
sadly, the cinematics hood is a little too small... the cheap hdmi monitor is wider than usual.. shame. :( the cardboard solution seems very unflexible for in the field use..
@Imaginate Nice. And you can't beat the price. These have a way of disappearing on shoots (as they keep getting taken off and on), so there's no point putting a lot of money into one.
I've made them with cardboard wrapped in black 2" gaff tape (both sides) and attached to the monitor with "stickyback" Velcro around the outer bezel. They work great.
