I got this one:
https://www.woodencamera.com/lcd-sun-sh ... 218700.htm

To be honest, I am not very happy with it.
It tends to not stay completely folded out, does not sit tight on the screen and makes it very impracticable to use the touch screen, even though it has this flexible bottom. And it helps less in sunlight than you might think.

All in all I tend not to use it anymore but just shade with my body/hands or use my Shogun Inferno in direct sunlight. Alternative could be the BMD viewfinder or one of the ultrabright SmallHD monitors.
Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.

I use the BMD Viewfinder in bright daylight. In fact I prefer to use it even in a dark space as it's better for critical focus than the screen.

Agree with Tristan. I’m shooting with the BMVF and only using the monitor for Menu changes or other settings on the monitor.

I had also va4k and it is not visible under sun, I see many sun shade but at end of day I build myself for both, with black foam and simple lock with Velcro to camera, small screw for va4k.
Are like a black tunnel and to edit on touch screen I bought a simple and small smartphone stylus that not only allow me to close monitor but avoid that horrible finghers’print on glossy monitor that I hate it.

Thank you for all the tips. In the end I made my own out a black DVD plastic case + velcro. Cheers to all.
