To make the Fuji F30 Lcd screen clearer in bright sun conditions, and also to help with focus on the scope while digiscoping, I made up my own.
Using the same diameter tube I used for my camera/scope adaptor,which you can look at by following this link

I used an old lens from a long ago scrapped JVC video camera, which I had kept (like you do) in case it may one day be usefull.
The lens was a good fit in the tube, and I glued a suitable sized rubber hood to the lens. The tube has to be cut to length, so that the Lcd screen is in focus.
At the screen end of the tube, I drill 4 small holes, so I could thread some thin cord through to give a cross hair effect, when looking through the shade/magnifier, which allows me to see where the centre of the picture is.
A small bracket was attached to the tube, so that it just hooks over the camera adaptor, and can be easily removed.
Being new to digiscoping, and also never having used a scope before, I do find it difficult to aim the scope at the target, so you will notice a small piece of bent wire attached to the top of the shade/magnifier. This together with another piece of wire on the front of the scope, is my sighting arrangement. It works very well. The wire on the front of the scope is easily removeable, it is on a circle of elastic which fits over the scope hood.
Hopefully the pictures below will show all the details, including a picture of the scope fitted with all of the parts I have made.
