Nokia Lumia 1020: Add filters to your 41 MP camera with this $5 DIY lens hood

DIY Lens Hood for Lumia 1020

One fantastic accessory for the Nokia Lumia 1020 Windows Phone is the camera grip. It gives the Lumia 1020 a little more girth for the gripping and with the built-in battery the grip extends your camera time significantly.

While it would take been neat if Nokia had threaded the camera lens opening on the grip to accommodate screw-on accessories, we've seen a few reader's tips for making due without. We've seen close-up filters taped to the camera to boost the Lumia 1020'due south macro abilities and now nosotros've got a lens hood to reduce any lens flare bright lights may cause.

Windows Telephone Central reader Vesku found the demand for a lens hood and but glued a collapsible lens hood to the flat portion of the grip that encircles the Lumia 1020's camera. The only prep work needed was to sand the area of the grip slightly to allow the mucilage to set correctly.

DIY Lens Hood

A $5 46mm lens hood was used and fits fairly spot on with the grips lens opening. You lot may desire to bank check out the local photographic camera store to make sure of the fit before diving in. Additionally, keep in heed you're probable making a modification that won't be easily un-done. On the plus side, some of these lens hoods allow for screw-on filters which would make using those shut-upward filters a lot easier.  On the downside, you may booger upward a $60 camera grip.

Some other alternative that isn't as permanent would be to cut the terminate of a small plastic cup off and tape information technology to the camera grip. It's not as clean looking as Vesku's lens hood but it'll practise the trick.

Poor Man's Lens Hood

While I've experience cases of lens flare at times, I'm just non sure if the needs is great plenty to warrant such a permanent modification. However, your needs may differ.
