Lens cap for LCP displays

[Christoffer Glans]

I've seen LCD's get cracked during transport on location because people fold everything in to be able to hold the camera when riding in a car or other transports and sometimes other equipment on the camera press against the LCD surface. So I'm wondering, is there any protective caps we can use on the displays to be able to transport cameras safely? I'm mostly interested in a protection for the 7" Red LCD display.

I use the supplied RED grey LCD baggy lined with padding parts from Lowel camera bag.

Works like a charm since I lug my Scarlet around with LCD attached at all times.

Didn't get one of those, maybe because I bought it battle-tested. But I'm thinking about a hard front cap on it, that can really take a punch so you know that it's safe.

The TOUCH LCD is one tough unit.

Ive had that thing rub against metal and no scratches.

I would do it again and again but it can take a good beating.

Yeah that screen is tough.

But as I said, I'm talking about the 7" LCD screen :tongue_smilie:

In Van, camera assistants generally use plexiglass cut to fit and fastened with Velcro to protect monitors.
