p.1 #1 · q3 evf protection


Does anyone know of any decent screen protectors for the q3 evf specifically? I see numerous reports the tpu protectors on Amazon interfere with the eye sensor and cause glare. I'd like to get something as the q3 evf is notorious for scratching easily and i need to wear glasses more lately..

None. Been looking for over a year and they all mess with the eye detection. There were some available on Ali express for the Q2 with a cut out for this, but they haven’t been for sale since the Q3 came out.

It fits good, but you cannot use the thumb grip with it...

I saw this, and it seems like the best workaround. But I would like to have an actual screen protector. Unfortunately they used to make one for the Q2 that was glass and had a cut out for the sensor. But apparently that doesn't exist anywhere that I can easily get it...

It’s a late reply but I bought a Leica LCD screen protector and it came with a small one for the EVF - looking at the packaging etc - looks 100% legit - one of the dealers in NJ and they said there was a brief time where they sold the combination but then abandoned it.

For what it’s worth - I am looking for the same thing .

There is this one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/LARRY-GADGET-SUPPLY-scratch-resistant-water-resistant/dp/B0H5W73789/?th=1

I have heard from a couple people it is good, I ordered it a week ago but it still hasn't arrived.

I received the EVF protector and it seems to be high quality. It comes with two protectors, a small suction cup to aid in applying the protector, some alcohol wipes and a little coaster as a gift. Installation was easy (although I got a small speck of dust off to the side underneath but not in the view) and so far it doesn't look like functionality/view is impacted. Probably the best choice that I've seen out there.

What is the adhesive like on the Larry Gadget protector? My concern is applying it, not liking it for some reason, then damaging the coating when trying to take it off.

I’ve seen the same complaints about the cheap TPU ones, especially with the eye sensor. I’d be hesitant to put anything directly over the EVF unless it’s very thin and leaves the sensor area clear. I’ve also seen people mention using an extended eyecup instead, which might be a better option if you’re mainly worried about glasses rubbing against the EVF

It wasn;t sticky like adhesive, more like what you find on a standard screen protector. Working great here FWIW.
