Abstract
A collapsible viewing device for a camera LCD screen includes a base having an open camera end that is sized to fit around an associated camera display screen. An eyepiece opposite the base allows for viewing an image on the associated camera display screen. A flexible, light-blocking sidewall extends between the base and the eyepiece. The viewing device is configurable between an expanded use disposition in which the eyepiece is spaced from the base and a collapsed, compact disposition in which the sidewall is non-hingedly collapsed into the base.
