This is a dirt cheap shroud for your fpv monitor.
I bought a "Sterilite" 7.2qt/6.8l storage bin. Found at Walmart.
Since the 5802 boscam monitor has a built in shroud, I needed to cut a slot big enough for that.
Then punched a hole in the top for the antenna to slip through.
At this point, just add what ever material you like to block out the light, and voila! Instant shroud.

Cost? $5.

I bought a shroud from one place and it's nothing more than a scam.
Material over cardboard and a little velcro.The glue on the one half of the velcro was so cheap it peeled off with the first use.

Now I can mount the monitor to a tripod and remove the shroud easily when not needed.
 
After a little testing with my home made shroud I guess I have not yet found the solution.
In daylight you can see some of the screen but the way the screen was built, still acts like a mirror.
I can see my reflection better than I can the camera output.
So guess it's back to R&D for more.
