How To Build a Light Blocking Viewfinder Hood For Your Camera – WVU #86
If you’re shooting video outdoors, in the sun, it’s often very difficult to see anything in your camera’s viewfinder. In this video I share a very quick and easy solution…a do-it-yourself, sun-blocking hood for your camera’s viewfinder.











Nice tip Dave! I just checked my email and saw your latest tip and popped over to check it out. Nice, simple and effective tip I’ll be using since I shoot a lot in the outdoors also. This might also help, as I find that the polarized lens on my Ray-Ban’s play havoc with LED screens and sunlight. Oh, and that is NOT a messy garage.
Does this mean Dave that you’re back to using the Canon CamCorder
Instead of the Canon T2I ?
I love the sharpness, the crispness in your videos …
It’s like looking out through a window ……
My favorite video (location-wise) is you standing
out in the forest …. it’s a totally beautiful shot ….
Of course, I think your video for the Canon T2I
did more for Canon Camera Sales and WebUniversity
copycats that you realize ….
Always … Thanks Dave.
Your Tips and Web Personality and receiving these
video blog posts are the highlight of my week.
@Gadabout – I use Vixia’s and the T2i equally.
I guess it was shot by the T2i, wasn’t it?
@oliverR – Yes
