(iv) Installing The Blinder
In case you use a 37mm thread lens (not included) with a corner positioned
camera (like iPhone has) you may need to install the Blinder. For some phones
the Blinder can be useful with filters or with 17mm thread lenses.
Blinder helps to prevent a back light reflections if you shoot with a light source at
you side or at your back. Although for centered camera position (like Samsung or
LG phones) you may not need the blinder at all if your phone covers the back side
of the Lens Cup completely and prevents any light penetration from the back.
To install the blinder you choose the best of its position to cover all the free
space of the Viewing Circle left uncovered by the phone, and fix it with the two
small bolts.

NOTE – You have two spare bolts in the set to fix the Blinder – one with a silicon
gasket, and one without. The longer bolt without the gasket is for the top hole at
the Lens Cup. The short one with the gasket is for the far left hole.
(!) TIP – if you use the same phone for shooting with the Blinder every time – you
may keep Blinder fixed on its position even if you need to dissemble the Rig.
(!) TIP – you may also use the small bolts as leverage to unscrew the standard ¼
Bolt if it suddenly got stuck.
