There are just those super-bright sunny days when the great PGYtech screen hoods aren't good enough to see your screen. Yes, there are commercial screen hoods available. But in the spirit self-reliance, of innovation, love of DIY projects and just all-out cheapness (I'd rather spend my money on other toys) I present to you the Vindibox: The screen hood for those 43 years of age and older. No longer do you have to attach a giant iPad to your controller to see what's going on! Easy to transport, the Vindibox folds flat for easy storage in your backpack or medium size carrying case.
If you're older than 43 you know what presbyopia is (no, it's not a religion ?). You need need to see your screen, but when you duck your head toward the opening you're so darn close you can't see what the screen says without your reading glasses. No problem. The Vindibox solves that with its patented flip-up magnifiers. Even in the up position there is plenty of room to see around them, but when you need a close up view, just pop your head down to eliminate all the outside light to get a perfect view of your screen. It comes standard with a removable flip-up flap at the bottom for easy finger access to the screen. This possibly is the next best thing to poor-man's FPV goggles ? !
And so, without further adieu, I bring you THE VINDIBOX! Not coming to store near you.

. I had a pair of old reading glasses where the temples had broken off. I put male velcro along the top of the glasses, and female inside the box. The width was a perfect match. So by being attached by velco I can fold the glasses down if needed and flip them up. But there is so much room to see with the glasses in place I tend to just leave them up. Being able to get my face inches from the screen and still see it sharply can be a real help.
