Comments about Petrol PA1009 Mini Hood:
This works to shield the suns ray from an EX1R viewfinder and is very cheap, but don't expect any instructions on how to use and or fold the thing into the necessary shape for use. I have two Petrol items and neither came with instructions. Too bad, because it would have saved a lot of time and aggravation.

Comments about Petrol PA1009 Mini Hood:
This works well for outdoor (and indoor) viewing. In most situations it makes the screen much easier to view, shading light noise from the LCD.
Better than the others? I don't know. I think they will all do pretty much the same thing. The quality is better than I expected and it is nice to be able to slant the viewfinder slightly in the up direction to use the brighter angle if needed.
It breaks down nicely and stows away easily. It is also quick and easy to assemble.
Works great on my Panasonic HPX170 3 1/2" viewfinder.

Comments about Petrol PA1009 Mini Hood:
We shoot on multiple EX1's and EX1R's. The Mini Hood fits both perfectly and keeps out most of the unwanted light. If you shoot outside, this is a must!

Comments about Petrol PA1009 Mini Hood:
For the price I paid for this and it's non glare ability I love it.
I wouldn't suggest this for Joe Public, but more for someone like myself who might use his camera on a tripod in a more professional setting. (Live stage event, wedding, or etc.)
