DIY: SELFIE SCREEN FOR SONY A6300

Before Black Friday, there was the Lazada Online Revolution Sale. I had a couple of things in my cart for several days and I waited 'til Sale day to check out so I could save a few bucks. Haha.

Anyway, here's what I bought and why.

What I love most about shopping at Lazada is how painless and convenient it is for me to purchase things that are otherwise pretty difficult to find at malls.

It's the only place I know that carries the oddest little objects in their inventory that only cater to a niche market.

I'm speaking parts and pieces.

I love how Lazada gives me access to China's wholesale/retail market without me having to worry about exorbitant taxes and shipping costs.

I got me a super fast memory card and a hot shoe smartphone adaptor.

Remember when I upgraded to a SONY a6300?

I super love this camera and I still have no regrets about choosing it over the a5100. But I was still bothered by it not having a built in selfie screen!

So what do we do when frustrated? A DIY!
