Using an IQ back with Live View on a tech cam

I don't think a loupe will help at all. The image onscreen can be zoomed in to 400%, waaay beyond the 160% or so that I find works well for checking focus.
The real issue is that because the screen in reflective, it reflects your face in the image you are trying to view.
What is required is come kind of shade that covers both the screen itself, and your face.

I agree, I use this old Schneider 6x6 loupe (with the black skirt of course, I had it sitting around) and it shades perfectly in direct sunlight, it's about x2.5, but as you say not really needed. However, it works very nicely for me on the IQ screen. Just an idea.

Just got this for my IQ

Not full screen but light and easy to check focus.
It has no eye cup but keeps out light when your eye is looking through it.
It works in full sun with the black plastic housing.
The view covers about 95% of the preview when the tools are visible at the same time.

Easy to see whats going on in harsh light.
Have needed to use it many times.
