Hello there, my name is Wolfgang Zieger and I live in Crete
Today I will show you how to make a sun visor
for the swiveling display on your Camera.
So that you can see what you are filming,
even if the sun is bright in the sky.
They come in handy, these swiveling displays on many cameras.
They enable diverse perspectives while filming,
without you being forced to get into too awkward positions.
The pleasure ceases, however, when we are filming outside in bright sunlight.
The image on the screen is hardly visible.
"We can't assess properly neither exposure nor focus
and the image design ... only a guess.
A frugal solution is a small sun visor which shades the display
and improves its visibility.
Therfore we need the following material:
a cut resistant base
black cardboard, a ruler
a cutting blade
a glue stick
and a pen
First we measure the display with the ruler:
It's length l is longer than the LCD screen and smaller than the frame,
As width we take
the external dimension of the display and d is the thickness of the display.
the height h1 of the visor we determine in the case of the GH2 with
six centimeters
As second height h2 We take four centimeters.
We need two strips of the black cardboard.
The first strip serves as the apron of the visor.
The length L 1 is calculated accordingly
the formula displayed.
The width of the strip corresponds to the height h1
in case of the GH2 six centimeters.
We now engrave the edges in the following order
width,
length
width, length, the adhesive edge remaining.
we now transfer h2 to the strip and connect the points
AB, BC and CD
and carefully cut the needless part with our pair of scissors.
Now fold the apron of the visor like so and stick
it together at the adhesive edge.
We cut off the protruding piece of the adhesive edge.
Strip 2 is used to mount the visor.
Its length L2 is calculated
with the formula displayed.
Once the height h1 of the visor h1,
Three times the thickness of the display d,
once the width of the display b, twice the height h2 of visor.
As width we take The length l minus one millimeter
We carve the fold edges in the following order
h1 plus thickness d - fold edge, width b - fold edge
Thickness d plus height 2 - fold edge, and height 2 plus d - fold edge
Height 2 and thickness d remain.
We now stick h1 + d on to the higher side of the visor.
thickness d sticks over the bottom of the display.
Now we wrap the other side of the folded strip
from the outside inwards over the low side of the visor.
On the underside of the visor remains a slot
into which the monitor can be easily inserted
the visor holds firmly
without further means.
It protects the screen from direct sunlight and makes
the image more visible
when removed it's easily folded up and needs little place for storing.
with the provided formulas it should be easy to determine the dimensions
for your display.
You may find the formulas in the text below the videos.
We have built an effective sun visor with simplest means
for our swiveling display.
It makes it easier to film in the sunshine,
the image on the display can be spotted better
Even the touch screen can be operated easily
and the best part is
it can be folded simply, put away space saving
and costs almost nothing
