LCD Hood and Protector for Fuji S5100 (S5500) and other cameras

[joelw135]

This product is made for other cameras also.

Many of us have found out that our LCD screens are impossible to use in bright sunlight and are easy to damage. I have found a product that is made for many digital cameras. It is made by a company in Krakow Poland called Delta. And the web page is www.foto-tip.com .
This nifty little item is really a two in one product. It is a LCD protector and a LCD Hood. The LCD hood is in two parts a optical glass LCD protector that can be used by itself, or add the hood for sun visibility.
The adhesive that is used makes it possible to install and remove, but I don't think it is made to do this many times.

The Optical Glass Protector mounted on S5500.


The Hood mounted on the glass protector in closed position.


The Hood open in the sun block position.


The Hood open and showing the hood in detail.


Installation of the LCD Hood is very straight forward and simple.
1. Clean your LCD with a soft microfibre cloth.
2. Remove the plastic that protects the optical glass LCD protector.
3. Remove the anti stick paper from the adhesive.
4. Align the hood and press into place.
5. To use the LCD glass protector by itself gently separate the hood at the top from the protector.
Clear instructions are provided by the mfg.

To use open the Hood is just a simple job of placing your nail under the bottom lip and pull forward. To close press the two sides towards the center and pull the hood down to lock.

I rate this product Five *****. Both for looks and build. Photos Courtesy of www.foto-tip.com

Joel,
Thx for posting this info. I have the S5000, and I have already had to replace my LCD screen once - my own carelessness - camera was in backpack, which I "threw" in the trunk - cracked the screen . I definitely will check this out.

I live in the USA so I had to send cash, depends on agreement with each country and Poland. Hubert is a real nice guy to deal with.

Joel,
Was cash the only option? Did it end up costing you for customs duty when it arrived in the US? I have e-mailed Fujifilm Canada to see if it might be available in Canada and/or the US.

It is not a fuji product. I did not pay any duty, there were other payment options, but there are many restrictions in the USA. You mite not have to send cash. Contact them on there web page.
