Effective, packable, inexpensive sun shade for Anafi camera

[DroneSpeak CMS]

I had an occasional lens flare while piloting and walking behind an Anafi along a trail among tall trees on a sunny day. I was not planning to rotate the camera up from horizontal. Later at a hardware store, I found 1/4" thick, 1/2" wide, dark gray, window/door insulation with mild adhesive on both sides. A thinner product would probably work. A short strip reduces overhead sunlight on the camera lens, which reduces lens flares. The foam strip's adhesive allows repositioning on the Anafi. As a bonus, the foam compresses easily, allowing the Anafi to be folded up in the carry case. Be sure to leave a shorter strip of the original paper on the underside near the camera, otherwise the foam will stick to it... however you can still peel it off the camera. Enjoy.

What a clever idea! I will definitely emulate that! Actually, I think I will build one of plastic and velcro to make it easier to pack and remove.
