Here are some updated pictures of the screen protector for the FS5 that I sell via Shapeways. It’s not an exciting product, it’s just a clip on plastic cover that protects the LCD panel from damage when you are not using the camera. I travel a lot with my camera and the unprotected LCD screen is very vulnerable and could easily get scratched or worse still smashed. Arriving for a shoot and finding the FS5’s LCD screen smashed would be a disaster!
If you want one for yourself you can order them through my Shapeways store: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/alisterchapman
That looks a very useful product.
Have you thought about making a sun screen hood for the FS5 as there doesn’t appear to be a custom fit on the market?
I could do a clip on sun shade. It probably wouldn’t fold, just clip on and off. I can do a hinged folding design but that then needs to be assembled and have all the right size screws etc. So that becomes a product that I would have to hold stock of etc. That increases the cost and I think it would end up too expensive for most people. If you think people would be happy with a clip on fixed shade for around $50-$60 I can investigate that.
I think people would be interested as the cable at the bottom of the screen on the FS5 makes generic hoods a very poor fit and not really useable.
It would be interesting to hear other peoples comments too.
I just purchased the screen protector and also saw on the website that you did indeed investigate and make a sun shade for the FS5 too.
So I bought that as well!
I haven’t seen you promote the sun shade, so it may be worth doing so as I’m sure other FS5 owners would be interested.
Thanks
