SmallRigSimple Shade Matte Box for DSLRs and Mirrorless Cameras, Comes with Flexible Rod Supports Multi-Angle Bending and Carbon Fiber Flag Board Enables 360-degree Rotation - 3199

I shoot Real Estate photography and have to cover a bunch of exterior shots of a property. The sun flares are always an issue typically using my hand as a shade when moving quickly from shot to shot. This really solves the problem for quick sun shade especially using a wide angle lens. P.S. - Try to remember to handle the bendy arm (Flexible Rod) with care!

The rigid section at the flag end is a bit of a nuisance when configuring it as a side shield, but overall it's very well made and now part of my standard kit.

I love lens hoods. And, if you ever banged a lens around you'll know why. However, Lens Hoods aren't always able to handle the different lens filters (something you also know if you use filters). Now, it's important to note... Are you using a Handle, a camera cage, or a gimbal system? I also found this device to be the PERFECT solution for those and other camera mounts. Now, I can easily change lens filters, adjust those like variable ND or Polaroid filters, and keep sun glare to a absolute minimum!

Simple and lovely french flag solution for wide angle lenses and vertical shooting. But connection at ends is weak link which broke too soon :(

this is the most unexpected item I ever bought , so useful especially in sunset hours .
