What you'd use it for
Kills glare on an on-camera or director's monitor so you can judge exposure and focus in daylight. The black nylon shade stops sun and stray light landing on the panel, which is the difference between guessing and seeing. Each fit is cut for a particular screen, so order by the monitor you are shading rather than by the camera it hangs off.
Fits
Eight fits, from 3.5 in up to 9 in, plus a hood cut for the Canon C series camera screen. Where OpenMoon name a monitor brand for a given fit, it is listed in the table below. Where they do not, treat it as a generic hood for that screen size and check the panel against the published size first.
