Sony CLM-V55 5-Inch
One of the most useful things about the Sony CLM-V55 5-Inch is that it comes with a set of removable sun shields that reduce glare on the screen when you’re shooting in a bright outdoor setting. Its mount only tilts in two directions, though, and it doesn’t rotate.
Lilliput A7S 7-Inch
The Lilliput A7S 7-Inch takes it name from one of the more popular mirrorless bodies on the market, though it’s not an endorsement from Sony. It does offer a high degree of ruggedness, thanks to its rubberized red casing, which helps protect it from bumps and drops.
