Hello all, my apologies if this is a much asked question, but what do you use for the FS5 screen protection? Any recommendation for the hood? Thank you!

I am using the MOVO LH 35 screen hood, just cutting a hole into the bottom to allow the LCD cable to pass thru.. Its cheap and very effective. https://www.amazon.com/Movo-LH35-Flip-Out-Camcorder-3-1-3-5/dp/B012Y8U794

I'm also using the same adapted hood from a different Chinese brand. It probably won't last as long as more expensive versions, but thus far it's doing well and at this price I'll just buy another if needed.

Re the screen protector, the 2 new FS5's I've received both had a stick on protector in the box.
 
Ditto the cheap hoods linked to above. With a bit of careful cutting they fit reasobaly OK (and are so cheap as to be disposable when they fall apart).

If you have not got a screen protector (mine came with one...which is now looking a bit grubby!) I'd suggest you just find any rectangular smart phone screen protector (preferably one without rounded corners). These can be had for very little money (usually packs of 5 or whatever) on amazon etc. Then just cut it to size, ideally about 1mm less in both width and height for the LCD recess dimension, whilst still leaving the "separation tabs" in place - as that way it'll then be much easier to apply!
