Contraption is the name for the device used to block light between the top and bottom cameras for TTV. It can be made out of virtually anything, from cereal boxes to pvc pipe... but they are commonly made from lightweight cardboard. It doesn't have to be pretty, it's only function is to eliminate reflection and glare from the top of the viewfinder glass.
My first contraption was 12 inches tall, made of black posterboard and masking tape. It has side slits to allow for the strap and side screws. I am currently working on a new design that will fold flat and fit into my camera bag.
