Well, no problem. It is a bit loose up and down but it is not going to fall off. nice and snug. Works great and would recommend it to anyone. Looks cool on the camera. If your in doubt the measurement for the fit to the LCD looks to be 3/8-1/2" x 2"ish by of course 2.75" width. Hope this helps.
Buy LCD Hood for Canon DSLR by Cowboystudio Now
I was having a difficult time deciding between this hood (fits 2.7" LCD's) and the RainbowImaging 3.5" LCD Hood, because I own a Canon Vixia camcorder that has a 3" LCD. Would this 2.7" be too small, or the 3.5" too big? Suddenly it was a Goldilocks/porridge situation. I took a chance and bought this one and, despite the fact that the photo (at the lead of this page) shows it a poor fit over a 3" LCD, it does, in fact fit and has just enough room to accommodate the actual LCD panel without blocking any part of it. Yes, the frame enclosure around the Canon LCD panel does stick out beyond the hood (just like the photo shows), but it doesn't affect the functionality, and the appearance looks just fine. I can only speculate that the 3.5" LCD Hood may have been too loose and, perhaps, slid all over the place. Anyhow, thumbs up for this LCD Hood by Cowboy Studio. It's rugged, well stitched leatherette over (I'm guessing) some stiff, thick cardboard, with super strong velcro holding the flap in place. It stays snug on the LCD panel, yet can slide off if you choose, or unclasp the velcro and take it off that way. Btw, I had it, along with several other Amazon items, shipped with "FREE Super Saver Shipping" (a 5-8 day wait) and the entire purchase arrived by UPS on day 5, all packed/boxed quite well with no problems and no shipping charges!Read Best Reviews of LCD Hood for Canon DSLR by Cowboystudio Here
Wasn't sure what to expect since it's about 1/3 the canon name brand hood; but then again, it's a hood and I wasn't too concerned about it. For $8 this is a fantastic hood! It's probably the same one as the canon name brand, except it has JJC branded into it rather than Canon. Leather/Pleather exterior with a nice velvet cloth interior. Whatever cardboard is in between the materials to hold the form is pretty sturdy. Fits very snug around my camcorder LCD screen. Been tugging on the two folding flaps to try and get some stretch to make it a little looser, so far seems to be working very well and it's not in danger of tearing. Doesn't block any of the screen or the set and function buttons on the side. However, it will render the pause/play, stop, playlist, and rec/playback buttons on the bottom useless. The only one of those I use is the rec/playback switch button, and that's just to check if I need to reshoot a scene or something. If you use the remote, then it's not an issue. Great for shooting outdoors.Only real con is the shipping was almost as much as the product.I purchased this hood for my Canon Rebel T3i. I bought it because another reviewer raved about using it on his 60D, which has the same size LCD. But the hood is 2.7" not 3" and while it just clears the LCD screen if carefully placed, it does not wrap well on the back.
